I have to admit I'm just a teensy bit jealous. :) But I know we will have our share as well... probably too soon. <br />*grin*<br /><br />The soup looks and sounds so delicious... and I'll bet the good company made it even better! <br /><br />I had to laugh at your comparison of the rolls of hay to the frosted wheat cereal... my hubby doesn't care for that cereal too much- the first time he tried it he said "it tastes like little dry square bales of hay." *hehe* <br />I like it, in fact I eat it lots of mornings... I guess it's the sheep in me.<br />Hope you have a wonderful day... you are still in my prayers, dear friend. <br /><br />p.s.~ I like my butter too... *giggle*Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693565002250035794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-14633576044779956542011-12-09T13:54:06.914-05:002011-12-09T13:54:06.914-05:00Sandra,

Staring at the snow is like staring at the fireplace or the ocean --very calming. And the sweet kitty face. The bread in the soup --sounds like a tasty idea. Friends are such a treasure. My friend is also my dental hygienist. We had a lovely visit today. She tries hard not to hurt me, but she does a good job. Reminds me of the verse...faithful are the wounds of a friend.

And, how we have been comforted in our concerns for you by this most charming of posts.<br /><br />The daily round, the common task and the happy companionship of a friend are such blessings in enabling one to find a new normality in living without one's life partner. We are delighted that you have projects underway and know that your handmade stockings will delight the lucky recipients.<br /><br />We are great soup afficionados and yours looks hearty and warming. Just the thing for a sub-zero Budapest. Soon it will be snowing here too we think ....!!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
