Thank you, my Eastern Washington friend. Your cooking is just amazing. During Covid I started making my own bread. Thought about you and figured you had probably been doing that all along. Your new puppy looks like a bundle of joy. Lots of love to be shared there. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words about God's love. I send you kind regards and best wishes from Seattle.

I see that God is working in your life, to heal your broken heart and assure you of His love and presence. It's so exciting to me to know this. I love your photos of the pups. So cute. Poor Butchy; having to share Mama with another canine. :( I bet you love having him on your lap though. The "Courage" ornament is so charming. Did you make it? I really like it. Hugs, sweet friend.

Smiling and nodding in agreement as I read your post - I can totally relate to using food for comfort and at the same time, knowing full well that it isn't the answer. I am long past pretending otherwise, but am equally amazed how old destructive patterns can keep coming back into play when I know better - I hoped that I would "age" out it! Lol Here's to good health and self-care; inside and out, my friend! Wishing you a lovely weekend and awesome week ahead.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576487047505755889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-52030566798077171622021-01-31T11:08:19.436-08:002021-01-31T11:08:19.436-08:00Greetings, I think we all understand and we are fe...Greetings, I think we all understand and we are feeling your pain!

I hope they get to be good friends.<br /><br />I had to stop baking or buying treats from Trader Joe's after the holidays. No more sugar! I did slip up a couple of times and then realized how awful these treats made me feel, so I stopped buying them again. If I bake anymore this winter, I'll maybe indulge in just one piece and then send the rest of the treats with Brian to work.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-89202243195828664792021-01-22T03:32:50.289-08:002021-01-22T03:32:50.289-08:00Oh, your new puppy is just gorgeous!Oh, your new puppy is just gorgeous!Shortbread and Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356668729131346750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-3637977186917056982021-01-21T18:52:42.961-08:002021-01-21T18:52:42.961-08:00I would like to know when I will not want to eat a...I would like to know when I will not want to eat as much either, everything looks so good, makes me hungry :)<br />Your little furbabies are just the sweetest, I bet they do keep you hopping and that is just what we need sometimes. We have a 1 1/2 year old cat, but hubby has been thinking he may like a dog too, I told him I don't think I am ready for that right now, since I usually do most the work and he gets the fun time!Conniecrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09266327228870948083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-38901153154369862882021-01-21T14:16:56.742-08:002021-01-21T14:16:56.742-08:00Connie, I've missed you lately!

I started eating before Thanksgiving...everything I wanted! Now I can't get control again. I am so mad at myself. Every morning I plan to "eat right" but by noon I am standing with the cabinet doors open searching for something to snack on. I am out of control!! Your food looks so delicious!

Oh those yummy foods all look so good! ...Hi Connie! Oh those yummy foods all look so good! It's hard to curtail our sweets intake when we love to bake! I do like baking, more than just cooking regular meals... my mom always baked and that's how she showed her love for us. We always had a dessert every night! blackberry pie, or apple pie, or a cake or cookies... she showed her love with food. So I grew up that way and that's what I did for my kids.. and now I do it for me! Food is definitely a comfort. I have the "covid weight gain" of 10 lbs.!!!! I just can't seem to stop myself now, from turning to sweets for comfort - or even salty snacks. Nothing like popcorn and a movie, or crackers and cheese and a movie, or chips and dip and a movie! Getting on a scale most days helps me but not enough! Your doggies are dolls. My how Beulah has grown! Is she a lover and likes attention? It's hard when the one you've had gets jealous... just show Butchy more love like you're doing and that does help.. with kids and dogs! Beulah may get too big to sit on your lap, so Butchy will always have that honor. I'm glad you have them for comfort and company. Hope you will find some time for stitching and playing with your crafts and fabrics. I haven't sewed since before Christmas, but have been just playing with my papercrafting, just for fun, and to help me get through all the political stuff that has been doing on. I tend to bury my head in the sand, so to speak, but sometimes we have to just pull our heads out and see what's going on. I just want peace for our country and the people who are the great foundation of our country. Take care and I think of you always!

I was feeling hungry looking at your baking. Yes, you guys have a lot to look forward to there in America- I like America and Americans and I'm happy for the Nation to be at it's best always. I'm hoping to somehow join a Star Trek Fan Club if I can- that'd be fun as I could do with some like minded company. Best Wishes. KEV.KEV.

Beulah is so pretty, and Butchy is, too. I have a small, disabled doggie who is quite jealous of our other, original doggie. I can see the angst in his eyes but he's been adjusting better since I started dressing him. He feels special and he likes being fussed over! He also likes that he gets a Nylabone to chew (other doggie doesn't want one).

Not like a cousin of mine, who stops eating when she is like that.

No wonder Butchy is jealous. He just needs to be reassured that he's still loved as much as ever.<br />I surely know what you mean about eating all the wonderful foods of Christmas and now facing the music. Or, the bathroom scale. I have an added incentive to try to lose weight as I now have high Blood pressure and I do not want to take any medication. So no salty foods for me and way less in the way of goodies. Be encouraged; we'll get there yet.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-28503021168757275992021-01-20T14:18:03.889-08:002021-01-20T14:18:03.889-08:00I have the same problem with food.

Today we had blue skies and sunshine, it stayed cold though. But oh how that sunshine made me smile. I know when you can start yourself a garden you will be plenty busy. I think of you often and say a prayer for you. My Ted is still in the hospital. He had some tests and O.T. I pray that God will lay his loving merciful hands on Ted to heal him.
