A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR

“A spoonful of sugar…” Robert Sherman

Spoonful of sugar-ha ha. We certainly had more than a spoonful of sugar this weekend.

In my last post I shared the baking that my daughter and I had done for Christmas. Sugar overload. Here’s some from Christmas Day.

Yummy Yummy

Now back to reality and the ever difficult sugar detox.

A quick note about Christmas. Up at 7:30. Unwrapped gifts. Lovely gifts from everyone. As always my family and friends overwhelmed me with their thoughtful presents. Here’s a few: much needed new sneakers in great summer colours, silk pillowcase, fantastic new hair straightener, always loved gift certificates, a sweet homemade tree ornament, and a beautiful British cookbook. I’m super excited to try some of these recipes. I’ll certainly share them with you. Most of all I love seeing those I love open their gifts. I try to find meaningful ones. This year, besides the purchased gifts, I made sea glass pictures for them. Then, in addition, for my three children I made bears using their baby sleepers and buttons that my mother had saved years ago. They weren’t the prettiest but they were made with ❤️ and lovely memories.

I hope everyone had a safe and healthy Christmas and that the new year brings us all a healthy and less stressful life.

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work. She has, for the most part, retired from this very successful music career. But really, does one ever retire from music? I think not. So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.
