Hello, luvs! A storm is raging outside, lulling me to sleep as I fight to stay awake. It is almost midnight – my usual and most unfortunate bedtime this week – and I can’t wait to hunker down under a cozy quilt and sleep, sleep, sleep.
It’s been raining something fierce all week, shutting down power and phone lines, thoroughly drenching everything in sight. I may be hankering for some sunshine, but the moss and ferns are flourishing!
What are you up to this weekend? I’m sticking close to home, bustling about doing laundry, finishing up writing assignments, wrapping Christmas pressies, and packing to leave for Europe next Friday. Two of my brothers live there – one in Germany, the other in Amsterdam – and they sent my parents and I plane tickets to spend Christmas and New Year’s Eve with them!! We couldn’t believe it. Those crazy, lovely fellows. I can’t wait to see them! So I’m looking forward to my last weekend at home, spending it in my new striped pajamas, playing music as I clean, tidy and plan.
I’ve been eating super healthy lately and am hankering for something good yet decadent for breakfast tomorrow morning. What is your favorite breakfast to spoil yourself with?
Happy weekending!
I bet you are so excited about your travel! We will be so close to each other!!! 🙂
Will you get your post if you’re not at home? I’d like to send you something but I’m not sure you’ll get it until next Friday!
I guess one person’s rainy day is another one’s fuel source? Haha the moss and ferns look extremely happy.
I’m so excited for your trip to Europe! All of the wonderful photos we will get to see!!
My favorite splurge breakfast is french toast. Delicious.
I love making Swedish Pancakes, or Avocado Eggs Benedict for breakfast. Hope you have a fantastic time in Europe & we will miss you!
Steak and eggs, when it’s good it’s sooo good.
What a wonderful Christmas present, have a lovely trip and look forward to hearing all about it next year. Meanwhile have a lovely Christmas season and a Happy New Year. Just in case I do not call by again before you leave for Europe 🙂
Eggs Benedict. Yum! Your weekend sounds lovely. Still praying for your trip!, knowing you’ll have sweet memories to bring home with you.
yikes! where have i been all week!? i’ve missed so much! so exciting for you that you’re going to spend your hols overseas. and lucky us we’re gonna get some nice pics and recipes out of your travels!
my favorite breakfast recipe is challah bread french toast – the challah bread has to be thick cut, superfresh, egg-ey and yeasty. then i cook down some costco frozen mixed fruit and add a little real mapley syrup to it. (yes we call it MAPLE-Y! at our house). reheast so it’s all nice and warm pour it over the top of the toast. and………it is food for the gods. truly. if i do say so myself.
happy xmas Krista – have a great time!
I’m so excited for you & for your trip! Your brothers do indeed sound very lovely 🙂 And how wonderful to spend Christmas & New Years in Europe – lucky girl!

ooh what a tasty question! I love eggs benedict or scrambled eggs for an indulgent breakfast 😀
I have been here lots of times and have not been able to leave a message. It is my computer but your site is the hardest to break through. I am hoping, this time, I will do it.
Thanks for you comments on my blogs.
I have not looked at anything here yet, other than those beautiful photos. I would love to experience them. You are fabulous.
Let’s see if this mails. Then, I will look around.
I hope you have a fabulous trip. As to a special breakfast, I’d have to go with eggs Florentine. Have a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary
