  1. I'll bet you look great in your outfit! Will you wear an apron to keep it all neat and clean while you cook your very Southern sounding meal ? :o)

  2. Hi Donna,
    Yes, of course, I wear an apron! Funny you should ask, though, as I have two favorites: one was given to me by my mother-in-law about twenty years ago, and is in sore need of replacement; the other is just an old dress shirt of my husbands, which is easy to replace and I have.
    In regards to your *resolutions* post, I am trying to rationalize....and therefore, am trying to convince myself that I must distinguish between *resolutions* and *wishes/desires*
    For example, for years I have thought it would be an easy birthday gift to make each of my sisters an apron. I just love this particular pattern with pockets and no ties. Will this be the year?
    As for adding new resolutions, it isnt going to happen. January is such a busy month for me reconciling the previoius year for the accountant and turning in stuff, I need to be careful about adding new things to my lists. And notice what I am doing on New Years Day - working at the office!
