It's that time of year, again....... :-) :-(

Yes, it's that time of year again.  When we are inundated with adds for Cadbury Easter Eggs.
.
Oh my!  Oh sigh!  Look at that delicious, creamy, chocolaty goodness.
.
And they are on sale, everywhere!!!  It's very hard, to avoid them.  It's so easy to be able to buy a couple here, and a couple there.  >,-))))
.
When I was growing up, a Fanny Farmer Easter Egg was always gotten.  It has been a long time, since one could find a real Fanny Farmer Candy Store.  That is one of those childhood memories, which have flown.  -sigh-
.
(What ever happened to Fanny Farmer Candy???)
.
Fanny Farmer Easter Eggs were not mini.  And they weren't huge either.  They were purrrrfect.  :-)  As anyone old enough, to truly remember them, can attest.   :-)

Some photos, not yet posted........

It was so cold here, on Monday, that I couldn't get warm.  So I turned on the oven and baked the above.  :-)  A Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread with added walnuts and cherries.   It warmed the house and tasted delicious!  Win... Win...

A cold twilight sky....

An over 20 year old picture.  'Pop' and our first Grand Daughter, whom I took care of, while Mommy/Daddy worked.  She was always an "I-Can-Do-It" girl.  :-)  And you can see her above, taking over the cleaning of potatoes, from 'Pop'.
.
She is still an "I-Can-Do-It"  girl.  She is an Electrical Engineer, in charge of building sites.
.
A dinner of left-overs.  Organic baked potatoes, which were hash browned..  Left-over slices of grass fed beef meatloaf.  Quite yummmmy.  :-)  One of those "even better the next day" kind of meals. 
 .
Thank you for liking my every day dishes.

A peek into the Hearth Room...

I love, love, love to see peeks into the homes of bloggers.  So I thought I'd show a couple, myself.
.
Looking up, from the bottom of the picture...  The railing is between the Kitchen/Eating area, and the Hearth Room.  There is one step down, into the Hearth Room.

The table next to the railing, is an old Kitchen table, from my side of the family.  On it, at the left, is a child's toy iron stove.  Which belonged to my husband's mother.  

Past the table, is my husband's chair.  (I still have to make a lamp shade skirt, for his light!)  To the right, is my chair.  With my little book table, beside it. 
.
Taken from this direction, it shows my husband's chair, the tv, and the patio doors.  From my chair on the right, I can always see the changing scene, of the back yard and beyond.  I love this view, all hours of the day and night, and all year long.  :-)
.
It you love peeks into blogger's homes, as much as I do, please consider giving us some peeks into your home.  Please and thank you.
