Potato Soup and a Fall cold

It never fails that we both seem to catch a Fall cold! Yesterday was pretty much a blur but today I am feeling a little better I tackled the bathrooms and some laundry! Still pretty weak tho. Tonight I will make a simple Fall soup (potato) good for the gut! I hope you are all doing well and staying safe!

Potato Soup:

3-4 potato's diced
1 can chicken broth
chopped onion
chopped carrot (optional)
half and half
butter
milk
I add all these ingredient's  and cook till tender! Fill bowls and add cheese on top/ Serve with cornbread

Fall thyme and a lost tin

 Fall is my favorite time of year!  When  the color of leaves change ! The bounty of apples, pumpkins  and hot soups! I also love to decorate the best at fall! Several years ago I bought a small spice tin with a bright orange pumpkin painted on it. Every year I would take it out and place

it

on my stove for decoration! Well. this year when I was decorating I could not find that tin anywhere! I was devastated! It was MISSING!! I was beside myself turning the house upside down every day to no avail! Then yesterday, I decided to tackle the drawers in my bedroom. There at the bottom of the drawer underneath a stack of old pictures lay my little tin!!! I could not tell you the JOY, I felt upon finding this little jewel ! I  put it in its proper place on back of the stove, where I will leave it! My sweet friend Doris Lutrell painted it and I got at her booth at the Americana Primitive Show about 25 years ago. It is one of those things that have special meaning only to me. Anyway, enough ramblings today! Have a blessed  and happy day!

 My little tin!

Catching up!

It's been a while since I have posted! So much going on in my life! My sweet Brother, Ricky passed away in July! I still can not believe he is gone. Not a week later and my cat of 14 years, Oscar passed! It has been difficult to lose them both and then we found out that my Husband will be partially blind! That was a HUGE blow for both of us.

I have decided that I  can not simply be sad the rest of my life so we just do the best we can and take it a day at a time!

I am glad the weather is getting cooler and a little crispy! I love fall days! I hope you all are doing well and sending blessings to you!
