Welcome

I hope to share my little ups and downs though life in a small town with hopes and dreams of the country life. With that I have learned to bloom where you are planted.

ONWARD





I have the day off from work today so it is onward with painting ceilings. It is a damp raining day outside, one that you want to just snuggle in. I had a little prime rib left over from Christmas day so what to do? I grew up with parents from the depression era and you didn't throw any left overs out. So a beef vegetable soup came to mind.




First it was the left over ribs into the crock pot.


Then lets add some left over broth and some beef broth. I'm going to left this simmer on low for several hours until the meat falls off the bone. The prime rib was so good and seasoned I'm thinking this is going to make a fantastic flavorful soup.

So with the meat simmering I turn my attention to paint. It all mixed and ready to go.
The ceilings are waiting for there first coat of paint. First it is cutting in all the rooms and I should by this evening have a very sore neck! My goal for today is to complete the cutting by dinner time. Yes, soup time!




This is my choice of drink today. Peppermint mocha in a cup of coffee. Do you have a favorite mug? I love this mug for it is very light weight but has a good handle. It's my favorite.



I best get back to painting, my break is over!

Enjoy June

  2. Oh my, I do hate painting-especially ceilings!
    Hope it all goes well for you.
    That moose mug looks like something I would pick,
    but it would have to be holding tea instead of coffee!
    Have a great New Year's Eve!
