the diapers arrived! i’ve never been so excited about something with a sole purpose of catching pee and poop.

half off at the florist on market day. this table bouquet cost me all of $6.

my morning … cookbooks, coffee, a picture of madeleine to remind me of her (silly i know) and the grocery plan.

thrift store special — a decent bread machine. the price tag? $1.21

ready to bake! the first bread batch is in the machine, kneading and rising as i type. my baking and cooking begins tonight … the house is all mine for the evening, so i plan to take advantage of the space and quiet! because come tomorrow afternoon…..

my home will fill up with our wonderful friends and “family” … off i go to the kitchen!
