it's monday, right!?

It's a new week and I do believe I am on the road to recovery. Wow, that bug or whatever it was kicked me in the butt big time. I was feeling better over the weekend, but still very weak and not able to do much. I had the first decent night's sleep last night, waking up only twice. I'm trying to use my mind over body powers. :)

I am so far behind on everything, I need to do some catching up in the house, making some Christmas gifts, and hopefully selling a few things on Etsy for holiday moolah.

My coffee was so good this morning and I do believe this is a good sign. LOL

What have you all been up to??? Christmas decorating and shopping I bet? I do hope everyone is feeling great and will have a blessed start to a new and fresh week. Let's expect some good things!

My daughter send me a photo on Saturday of an Apple Tart and Eggplant dish she had made, they looked delicious. I was really wishing she was not a 24 hour drive away, I would have been there for dinner. She is a fabulous cook, a brave soul in the kitchen. I am very proud of her desire to want to make delicious and healthy meals for her family. So wanted to share some delicious sights with you. Enjoy.

Eggplant Dish

I still have to find the link from Jaime for this dish. She made homemade ricotta cheese for this dish. Honestly, I could eat the whole thing. It looks fabulously delicious.

If you are on Pinterest, do start following my daughter@ http://pinterest.com/wineblend/

She would be thrilled.

I'm trying to talk her into doing a blog. :)

Hope everyone has a beautiful Monday!!!

MONDAY THINKING...

It's Monday...again.

It's a beautiful morning! But how did it get to be Monday already?

The sun is but a morning star. ~Henry David Thoreau, Walden

I'll tell you how the sun rose a ribbon at a time. ~Emily Dickinson

To him whose elastic and vigorous thought keeps pace with the sun, the day is a perpetual morning. ~Henry David Thoreau

Sadness flies on the wings of the morning and out of the heart of darkness comes the light.

~Jean Giraudoux

Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

~Elbert Hubbard

Through the blackest night, morning gently tiptoes, feeling its way to dawn. 

~Robert Brault
