We enjoyed Kona coffee pods as a special treat this morning - savoring great coffee with just milk and sugar. When B. asked for an eggnog latte, I made it for him - but with 'plain' coffee. The Kona pods are too special to muck up with a bunch of other flavors.
The roast is in the oven - slow roasting for six-ish hours before a searing hot oven will crisp the top. Popovers, green bean casserole, au gratin potatoes, wine and cheese cake for dessert!
B. is in heaven watching his DVD set of Band of Brothers AND The Pacific. I was upstairs getting dressed and heard low flying aircraft...not unusual since we live close to the Tracy Airport - but then I realized it was downstairs. Sounds like a war in the family room. Oh well.
Scavenger hunt was fun though the boys are getting 'lazy'....taking turns getting up and doing the hunting vs. going together. May just have to start a new tradition of writing them a check instead....
We skipped church last night....and we are all fine with doing that. We were just chillaxing at home and didn't feel like getting up and out at the time we would have needed to.
I am heading out to cash in scratcher Lottery tix....hoping for a big win on the tickets I will 'buy' with our winnings. Still playing to win a life changing amount...wouldn't that be lovely? Not likely - but as always, it's about the dream.
I am not focusing on this possibly being the 'last' Christmas with all of us here. J. and I are reasonably confident that we will have empty rooms soon - and planning an art room, a sewing room and a home gym! Not really...but maybe. H. and his friend are moving to an apartment soon - and will take two rooms of furniture with them when they go.
It's a Merry day....
