Looking back over my blog for the past year, I can see that I’ve let things slide. I’ve taken the easy path and talked about the mundane details of my life, rather than my thoughts or hopes. I’m not rash enough to promise changes, but I hope the new year will bring a slightly different focus to what I share.
As we move toward Christmas, I’m reminded of just how fortunate we are here at Chez Buffy. We have a roof over our heads, regular meals, a job to go to, and family, including a new grand daughter, nearby. We are truly blessed. We pray that good fortune continues in the new year, and that we find ways to share it with others.
I hope that my blog friends are all doing well. For those of you who have had a difficult year, we hope that the new year brings you easier times, or the peace you seek. From our household to yours, we wish you a joyous Christmas, and the best in the New Year!

Coming down to the wire
We have just about 40 hours to get everything ready, and then the celebration begins. I’ve been fine tuning my shopping list for Thursday, the last time I expect to get to the store before we cook.
I had originally planned to have a breakfast casserole on Christmas morning, to make preparation easier, but I’ve been thinking about having Quiche Lorraine instead. The ingredients are roughly the same, with the exception of swapping bacon for sausage, and pie crust for hash browns. The quiche might look more festive and elegante….but with all the excitement of present opening, will anyone care?
I plan to offer English muffins and whole wheat toast, jam and butter on one tray, and an assortment of fruit on another.
What do you think? The quiche or the casserole?
Decisions! Sometimes I wish I wasn’t a Libra!
