Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
This will be pretty quick this morning as we’re leaving this morning for our Christmas trip to the coast. There is a small craft advisory and wind predicted at the coast as well as a 10 degree temperature drop so I’ve packed accordingly. I even packed an umbrella in case it does rain. Weather around here can change at the drop of a hat 😀
We almost weren’t going to be able to go. The vacation rental we rented and prepaid for last month canceled on us. 🙁 Fortunately, the management company is really good though. 🙂 They found us another rental, still on the water, but actually bigger and better AND they covered the price difference! So, we’re really excited about these couple days away.
One of the reasons to go to the coast for a couple days and have reservations to see Shore Acres. It’s a wonderful light display that has been closed down since COVID. We went the Christmas before COVID and it was great, but POURING down rain. So, I’m REALLY looking forward to this year. It’s supposed to be REALLY cold, but at least the rain/snow is supposed to hold off until after we return home. I’ll post pictures later this week.
Doing Happy Homemaker Monday, EVERY MONDAY, loyally for all these years and so extensively helps keep me on track of my daily life as it summarizes the past week and lays out a fairly concise plan for the current week.

One of favorite places is this 124 year old tavern.The exposed brick walls inside and out are part of the charm that makes this old building so unique.
We’ve been coming here for the past 10 years and through 4 owners. The BEST thing is that through all those owners, not one of them changed the menu! They have THE BEST sandwiches and all the recipes are still made the same way despite the change in ownership over the years.
And I took a Christmassy Highland Cow painting class yesterday. I’ll do the fine touches later this week as I ran out of time.
Safe travels and have a wonderful hopefully dry time. Make as many memories as you can and take a lot of pictures!!!
Your menu for the second part of the week looks delightful.
I am inspired by your loyalty to the Monday post, I want to be like that 🙂
I am printing out the quote about “someday” That is an excellent reminder!!!

Hi Sweetie! Sorry so late this week. I hope you have an amazing time! Sounds like holiday perfection. 😉 I love your inspirations so much. It’s so true. This time of year, even with being so happy, brings nostalgia and pain. And being a Momma trying to make everything perfect for everyone – along with a bad back – doesn’t help things. Need to see this as a time of grace and what the real reasons are for the season. Blessings dear Friend. xoxo
I’m curious how hot that cheesecake is with the hatch chilis! I love the picture of that tavern. It looks so warm and inviting! Hope you are having a terrific week!
It’s not really hot at all! It turned into a super busy week as you can see from how late I am in answering 🙂 but it was good.
Lovely painting!
Looks like you’re going to have a great trip. can’t wait to see the pictures.
Have a great week
Hope you have an amazing time on your trip and that the weather cooperates. Looking forward to seeing the photos.
