I have been consumed by our recent house purchase..fondly called Chateau Stinkbug. We bought a fixer-upper. It has been a hoot when tradesmen/contractors have come in the house. They always ask "Was this a foreclosure?" When say we bought it from the original owner, they just shake their heads. Michael and I shake our heads a lot too.... followed by the sentence "What were we thinking?"
We finally have the main floor under control..mostly. It sure has taken a toll on my blogging...it took us almost 5 weeks to get the internet/TV installed but that will be a topic for another post. In the upcoming weeks I will post some of my very favorite holiday recipes. They are not fancy but each and every one has been a "crowd pleaser" for decades!!!
