When I got home from the day job I saw a familiar car in the driveway. It used to belong to my brother but now is used mainly by my nephew, Paenney. He and his brother Fojo spent the greater part of today at my house with Husby, hanging out and sharing guitar-playing tips, having some lunch, and engaging in adult guy B.S. I feel like I kind of wrecked the mood because, well, who wants a girl barging in on guy talk? They put up with me for a while before they headed home for dinner.
After the boys left (grown-ass men, actually, but I still call them boys) I headed over to my parents’ house to help my mom with a computer problem she was having. I don’t know exactly what I did but I seem to have fixed it. Call me the Geek Squad. Of course I had to chat for a while with them after performing my technological magic, and they supplied me with a little chocolate for my trouble. M&Ms and a delicious raspberry truffle.
I got home and saw that Husby kept the fire burning, the one he started up for the visit from our nephews, his godsons. I snuggled into my chair next to the fire with a nice glass of wine and a big plate of Pizza Rolls. Then I took a nice, hot bath and came back down to the fire and sat some more.
All in all it was a very easy evening.

Your rumpus room, with it’s blazing, toasty warm fire, is the coziest I’ve had the pleasure to be invited to enjoy – in decor, fragrance and ambience! It truly has a total ‘comfort’ about it. I’d gladly join you there anytime!
You’re too kind. Comfort and joy is what we’re all about at Christmastime, and I’m glad you enjoyed your visit!
Sara I often end up sleeping by the fire in our lounge room, because it is the warmest room in the house. Sounds like a nice night to me…
What would be even more wonderful would be to have a fireplace in the bedroom! Can you imagine? I’d love to tuck myself in with the downy pillows and flannel sheets while I fire crackles and lulls me to sleep. Oh let’s face it, I’d like a fireplace in every room of the house if I could.
This sounds like a lovely evening!
A lovely evening, indeed. You know how cozy it can be inside when the harsh winter blows all around your house. I’m sure your abode on Beaver Island is very cozy!
