bad blogger.
however...
good wife. good house keeper lady. good (excellent) bread maker and all around filler of hungry tummies and we've had a house full. good at lots of things domestic these days, but not a good blogger or blog visitor friend. no.
very bad.
sorry.
i ended up on an unintentional extended blog break.
to get caught up after my summer away my intentions were to write a few times a week for 30 minutes or so and visit 3-5 blogs.... do-able right?
Q. what is the road to hell paved with?
A. good intentions.
so there ya go.
i always get stuck with where to start writing when i get so far behind.
so maybe it's best to start from present and work backwards and sideways and random. because at least it's something. right?
my eldest daughter is having a baby in may.
first grand baby.
i'm going to need a name alternative to 'grandma' that is more suited to my sassy personality.
however in the end i will answer to grandma and smile and totally melt.
my youngest daughter is going to culinary school. i am thrilled. soooo very thrilled!
she has talked about cooking professionally since the age of 5. yes, 5.
i gave up coffee 2 months ago. it was easier for me to give up cigarettes. (that was almost 20 yrs ago)
i am trying to embrace tea.
i miss coffee.

it's been a typical helsinki autumn pretty much gray and chilly. lots of rain. typical.
