Shandalin's Corner: Where oh Where has the time gone?

I am not sure where the time goes, is it because I am older now and don't have time for this blog? Probably a little bit of that and a little laziness on my part.

August, September and October have gone by and here we are in November, my busiest month. It holds Thanksgiving, my niece is coming from Colorado to visit and my 51st Anniversary is on Thanksgiving this year, OH such fun.

I have been painting a bit more and also decoupaging, but mostly eating out and playing in the Casinos, yes, I know but you can't take it with you....lol...playing Bunco (a dice game) for all who do not know what it is, with my only remaining sister and her daughters my incredible nieces and Friends' so much fun. Honestly, I have been very lucky this year, but that Lottery eludes me still. 😊

This year has seen a lot of loses family and friends and people I use to go to school with, it also has seen joy too, from my daughter getting better each day from her anxiety to my other daughter losing weight and visits from my daughter Dawn. Getting together with girlfriends from school that I have not seen in years becoming close again is such a blessing.

I am collecting recipes and will share some of my favorites on here for the Holidays, these make ahead recipes are great for gift giving, put in an old-style jar with a cute tag and you have something special for your mail person, a friend, someone who has been especially kind to you or someone who would love a homemade gift, I know they are my favorites.

I hope you have the best Thanksgiving this year has been so hard on us all that remembering what our true blessings are all about, being with the people we love, HAPPY THANKSGIVNG EVERYONE!
