Coldest at night...

I sometimes wonder
sitting in a room
the comfort, warmth
familiar surroundings
ever changing
keeping us new...

How lucky...
for what we have
noticeably goes unrecognized

Survivors of the coldest nights
a box or two without any glue...
always getting hit
by the door on the way out

Yes, be thankful...
for something new
be grateful
you get to choose
remember sitting by the fire tonight
all snuggled in robe
light burning bright...

There's someone in need
perhaps, not in your sight
that the extra scarf or
blanket might shed a different light.

Gift Ideas to start planning...

This is the baking month!
well at least it is for me...

I bake all kinds of things; soups, breads,
cakes, pies...I even make candy...
I have a long list of requests to fill.

How about any of you out there?
Do you love to bake? I bet you like the eating part better..
I bake for gifts as well at the Holiday time.

Why not try a gift basket this year?
Don't pay someone else for it when you
can create one yourself...it's easy.
They do make great gifts especially for the person
who has everything. Find out what their favorite
cookies are for example. Add some candy,
the usual things not just wine and cheese, crackers.
Make it to fit their likes specifically.
They'll be sure to love it.

Start planning today and you'll be relaxed
and easy going come Holiday time for gift giving.
