The last post I prepared never got published before Christmas because I just wasn’t here with you.
HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER DOG BISCUIT RECIPE FULL
A couple of days’ rest and I’m back in full swing and so pleased to catch up with you all. I was so tired by the time they left that I didn’t care if I ever cooked again. Both of them have a hearty appetite and love big breakfasts, wonderful lunches and terrific dinners. Rather than abandoning my blog, I was 100% involved in showing them a good time.
This could have been the last time we ever saw them in sharp as a tack mode so the choice for me was easy. “Maureen, make a choice – do you work or do you spend time with the olds?” (yeah, that’s what the family all calls them) John’s father is 92 today and his mother is 88. I didn’t panic but I was stressing and then it came to me – that little voice that speaks inside our heads.
(it’s near the front door and he likes to wait for me there.) I work way more than a full day every day of the year, consequently you won’t find everything in its place 100% of the time and sometimes you’ll find a sandy dog print on the guest bedroom bedspread. I’m not a slob but I work full time and have my blog and all the social media that goes with it. She’s a white glove housekeeper who retired ages ago and has plenty of time to keep things tidy. Nothing, that is, until we received a phone call from John’s sister telling us that his elderly parents would be visiting us for Christmas – IN TWO DAYS’ TIME! Now I’m not sure how you deal with your mother-in-law but I always stress. There were a few parties both here and elsewhere but nothing to get me off track. I was all set for the Christmas season and it was going to be just John and me so I didn’t stress. I know you probably thought I got lost or distracted but no, I’m still here and I’m still loving every one of my friends like you.
