Today was hard to choose, again. I love browsing. I love pot roast with gravy. I love snowflakes in the lamplight.

Browsing is great. It's a good time waster. It's a good source of information. It's a great thing to do on down time at work. It's just great fun.

Pot roast with gravy is something we have every Sunday. Family tradition started about 6 years ago when we lived with a great cook while she was separated from her husband. When she went back to him, we missed those Sunday dinners. So I picked up the habit and we just love it. I don't always make gravy with the roast, but it's still a pretty good meal. We slow cook it all Sunday morning and eat it with potatoes and other stuff .... it's so wonderful, falls off the bone (if there is one). Mmmm..... makes my mouth water.

Snowflakes in the lamplight is a beautiful, wonderful sight. But I usually only like that when I'm inside staying warm.

I think my favorite will go to pot roast with gravy. And now I'm suddenly quite hungry ...

I have a calendar a day coming to me in my email, starting today. It lists "Five Things to be Happy About". I thought I might discuss one of the things on there per day, if I happen to agree with the list.

Today, I had a hard time deciding between herringbone tweed and blank pages ready for writing. Ok, I don't even know for sure what herringbone tweed is. But blank pages ready for writing ... that I totally understand, and have been known to drool over.

I collect blank journals. And yes, to answer the question, I do write in them. I have many journals from my lifetime. Probably too many, if that's possible. I just love to write.

I also collect leather bound classics, which happen to be pretty pricey and gorgeous. If I happen to have one in one hand and a blank journal in the other, and could only choose to take one, I'd have a tough time choosing. And would likely choose the blank journal.

Blank pages ready for writing ... a wonderful thing to me!
