We’re leaving on our road trip today (FINALLY) so I’ll make this fairly short and sweet. I hope you have all had a productive week and quiet weekend full of family and fun.
I’m laughing at this category today. The weather has been changing so much all over the country in just the past couple days. I packed for the trip and then repacked a second time before finally deciding on a multi-layered pack that allows for multiple weather pattern changes. Here this morning it’s raining and cool, but we’ll probably see some cooler temperatures and maybe even a bit of snow or at least a frost tonight when the low will be 27°. LOL tomorrow though we’ll be in Las Vegas by the end of the day so are planning for a bit warmer in the 70’s.
Hot water and a baby food squeeze on the go.

I’m reading Jana DeLeon’s Swamp Sweets, book #21 in the Miss Fortune series. Hubby and I will continue to listen to the books from the beginning on audible while we travel the next few weeks.
I went to a painting party last Wednesday for a Halloween painting that’s growing on me and I will definitely be doing some updates on, but I’m really looking forward to the Christmas cookie exchange painting party that my girlfriend is putting together. She’s thinking about maybe doing this one.
I did sign up for this cute gnome in December also.
The Eagles will be having a bake sale while we’re gone (I originally offered to bake for it when we were supposed to go on this trip months ago and thought we’d be here for the sale) so I did all my baking this weekend and prepared them for the freezer. This way they can do as they please for the sale. I made 3 Whiskey Currant Pineapple Carrot cakes, a Pumpkin Spice Dump Cake and a Pumpkin Butter Pecan Dump Cake. Needless to say I ran out of time for much picture taking this week, but hope to make up for it on the trip. 😀
with the links to last week’s posted recipes and upcoming recipes to be posted soon.

Hello lovely Lady!
First of all your inspiration hits so much because you already inspire me all the time! From how you look at life, to how you deal with your health issues, to how you are wonderful cook/baker/crafter….I could go on and on.
I hope the travels are going so well. I saw from insta already how crazy the weather has been. Lol The cookie exchange painting party sounds SO fun! What a great idea. That gnome is adorable and would be perfect at Christmas time. Safe and fun travels!!
Aw…. you are so sweet!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I have an “adopted” daughter of my heart, Amber, that really brought that inspiration to life for me. Being able to be there for her when she was young and in need of guidance really helped me be a better person. I actually get to see her this trip also 😀 which makes me VERY happy!
Love the paintings! The Santa gnome is so cute!
Hope you are having a good trip.
Thank you! The trip is going well so far. I hope your Thanksgiving was great and you have a wonderful week.
Those paintings are so cool. Really love the santa one! Happy Monday!
Thanks! Me too – I’m starting to really get into the spirit. 😀
Fun paintings! Wonder if the lettuce tip would work for cheaters like myself who buy the salad in a bag? Just about impossible to make that stuff last. Hope you have a fabulous time on your trip and wonderful week!
Thank you! Trip is going well so far – hit quite a bit more snow than expected today, but got to the hotel early enough we missed the worst of it.
It does work! I put it in tupperware with the paper towel on top and then turn it upside down in the refrigerator. The paper toweling absorbs any moisture and I change the towel every day as I use it.
