I feel like I never went to bed. Once again I was awake so early that I finally just got up. I have had first cup of coffee and already had shredded wheat. Laundry is swimming in the machine and the sewing machine is waiting.
The other day when I went to the market to get a few things I spoke to the manager. I wanted to tell him about the chestnuts that I bought and every one was bad. I thought they should know. He insisted that I take a credit. I refused and said that was not what I was looking for or I would have talked to him right after Christmas not a week later. He actually followed me for a few minutes talking and when I got to the register he had the cashier take almost $13.00 off my amount.
I love chocolates as you may know...but I also love fresh popped popcorn. I usually buy the single serve microwave packages but have not enjoyed them. The popcorn does not have a nice crunch and forget the butter used to season it. So, when I saw this
I figured it was worth a try. I love gadgets of all kinds. Well, it makes the same amount as the packaged kind or you can make a large serving. The salt is to your liking and the butter actually tastes like butter. The best part is that it tastes great without any seasoning too and has the fresh crunch. Okay, commercial over.
Befor I go to the laundry corner...
This is waiting for me on the sewing table. You will hopefully get to meet her real soon.
The last day of the year.....sounds sad but for me it also sounds nice. I will spend some time today and tonight remembering all the good things of this 2017 year and then move forward to think about 2018. I am sure there will be some moments tonight that will bring tears to my eyes and I will allow them to fall as they must.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the caring and encouragement you gave to me and I know you will be there when I need it in the coming year. Your friendship is so important.
We cannot change what has happened or caused us pain but we can look ahead to make things better for ourselves and those around us. I wish you all the inner peace of a New Year.

Words to live by, Gracie, in the last couple of sentences. Remember the good and take them into the next year. I will be home tonight keeping my cats calm in face of two firework displays going off twice. Happy New Year!
Happy new year.....I love fresh popcorn..........
Wise words Grace. I truly wish you peace and happiness in the coming year.
Happy New Year Gracie: I am a sucker for gadgets myself, I do make microwave popcorn but use a paper bag, I just put a handful of kernels in the bag roll it a couple of times and turn the corners of the bag the other direction, it makes great popcorn but I am going to look for the gadget you have on your site.
I hope this evening is an easy one for both you and I this is another first for me without my Mother, it is not easy.
I am looking forward to seeing what you will be doing with the lady bug fabric.

I admire your way of thinking back of the good things happening in 2017. And then turn around and look forward into 2018. I wish you all the best for 2018 and many good things happening to you.
Happy New Year, Gracie!
That manager knows how to take care of his customers. Great service.
2017 was a difficult year for so many people but the community has rallied round and been so supportive of everyone. It makes me proud to be part of our stitching world.
I hope you've made a good start into the new year. Hopefully, it will bring lots of happy times and memories for all of us.
