First, an update on the Cherub: after a rough start and two bad days, Friday was much better. His foster mom picked him up from school and when she heard what a good day he'd had, she told him they'd go get ice cream to celebrate. Then this morning his foster dad brought him to school a few minutes late, and when I gave him a breakfast bag, he said, "Thank you!" and gave me a hug. How nice is that? Maybe he's getting some stability in his life and will continue to do better. I hope so.
The weekend was cold and rainy. I went out on Saturday and bought some live materials to make a wreath for our front door, and I spent the early afternoon yesterday working on it. It still needs a bow, and better lights, and I wouldn't mind picking up some extra fir branches to fluff it up a bit more, but this is what I have so far.
I also spent the afternoon cooking vegetable soup in the crock pot and drying apple and orange slices in the dehydrator. The house smelled amazing while I worked on the wreath!
Christmas will be here in no time.

That wreath looks terrific! You did a great job on that!
I will make some turkey soup today using the carcass from Thanksgiving. I hope my home will smell as yummy as yours!
Your wreath looks great - I wouldn't even know how to begin!
I now imagine you quietly pottering about in the kitchen, making soup and working on your wreath, while all those delicious smells are wafting about.
A hug from the Cherub? Well, that certainly makes a difference to his statement "I punch people I don't like", doesn't it! (I know he didn't say that to you.)
