I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We watched our parades, ate too much, watched football, listened to some Christmas music...but my favorite time of the day was when we read about our blessings. Our "Thankful Jar" was overflowing! We passed it around during dinner and had a lot of smiles and laughter. How rewarding! I am truly blessed.
I actually did some Black Friday shopping...that was an experience...
I found myself "switching gears" early this morning...menu, shopping, more decorating....SLOW DOWN!! The Lord and I had a talk about that this morning. Well, He did the talking and I did the listening....So today will be my down day. I am so thankful that I am able to do this! With my slow day I think I will take the time to plan out my month and monthly menu..it always looks so good on paper. I will also leave you some SLOW cooker recipes.
Might try this one this month....
