- The house that inspired Kate Winslet’s English cottage in the movie Holiday is for sale. If you have $822K laying around
- A Canadian memory care facility came up with a great idea to help residents easily find their own rooms
- I was saddened to hear of David Austin’s passing this week. To me his roses embodied the perfect rose – old fashioned blooms, great scent, lovely muted colors. We have a number of his roses in our garden and they are champion performers
- I just discovered the singer LP and have been listening to her song “Lost On You” on repeat. Such a unique voice and that whistle!
I don’t know about you but I have about eight bajillion gifts still to wrap. I’m also still waiting for a few packages to arrive and have stocking stuffers to buy. But the bulk of the preparations are done and hopefully I can relax. I’m hoping to get the wrapping done today. We shall see…
I’ve been thinking about goal setting this week. With the new year looming I want to set some good intentions. I’ve really taken advantage of, and completely enjoyed, being off work these past few months but in the new year I really need to focus on finding a job. Or winning the lottery. Either works for me. I also want to refocus on my health. I’ve kept the weight I lost off this year but I need to get more exercise and still lose another 15 pounds.
Next week, after Christmas is over, I may dedicate a post or two to how I want to approach the new year and what I hope it brings.
Have a fabulous weekend my friends – just remember to slow down and enjoy the season.
