Early Christmas presents

These sales commercials before Christmas are something else. But then, if you are planning to buy something soon, why not take advantage of the sales?

Rarely, rarely do we replace something which is not broken. But ... I like cooking and baking. We like eating healthy food. We really like the induction cooking plate we got some time ago. But one is not enough to cook a whole meal. And there was always a lot of cleaning involved with this (old) one because in the traditional method all splattering will be burned on the stove surface to a crisp.


Mama is happy! And the microwave has a feature I didn't even know existed. It calculates itself how much time something needs when you reheat leftovers. Wow.

And yes, you need pots which have a bottom which attracts a magnet but I already had those because of the single plate and my "old" pots and pans had started to flake the inside off. Definitely not healthy. 


Two days later two very polite gentlemen came and were happy to take the old ones away. We even had the using directions. The hauling away fees were refunded from our original invoice. 


Saturday December 21
We had to take care of something "across the river" and Wade texted us that he was with the boys at the Big Greenhouse to look at the annual set-up of the model trains. Sarah was sleeping between her nightshifts so we spent some time with them. Doesn't everybody love model trains?







Updates on my amaryllis: doing well! The one in the sunroom has a second stalk blooming and a third coming. Name: Scarlet Baby



This one (also Scarlet Baby) lives in the kitchen. It might not like it there too much. Look how it was leaning. We constantly have to turn it.



Last Easter hyacinth from church (still in a pot) wanted to be brought in. I am afraid we will miss the blooms though because we will be gone.
