jelly, paint, and doodles . . .

"Don't wait for everything to be perfect

before you decide to enjoy your life."

Charlotte's guinea pig came to live with us after her mom found out that she was allergic to him.

I wasn't too sure how I would like him - but he is so much fun.  

He loves to eat . . . squeals when he hears the refrigerator open . . . and makes us laugh.  

If it make you laugh - it's a good thing!

Paint and Doodles on a rainy weekend.  

I may add something more to them . . . not sure yet. 

I have had such a busy week and another busy week ahead of me, but I made some time to play with some paint . . . I made some time to read . . . I made some time to pray . . . and I took some time to rest.  Richard has a crock pot full of goodness cooking. (Korean Beef Zoodle Bowls) 

It smells delicious!  My house is sort of a mess . . . but I'm really not caring today! 

Just enjoy today!

Pomegranate Jelly

I made pomegranate jelly today.  I don't know how I grew up without ever helping my mom make jelly . . . or maybe I did and just don't remember, but I have always wanted to make my own jelly, but never have.  I have especially wanted to make pomegranate jelly . . . I think they are a unique fruit - something I never saw or tasted until I moved to California.  I am just hoping the jelly turns out as good as the mess that I made making it.  Next I am trying pepper jelly and a possibly a pepper/pomegranate.
