The Great Essentials of Happiness Are...

Something to do, something to love and something to hope for. By Allan K. Chalmers.

Oh wait...and something to pet!

{I'm having Ossobuco for dinner tomorrow. Ossobuco is a Milanese specialty of cross-cut veal shanks braised with vegetables, white wine and broth. Delicious.}

This pretty much sumps up my weekend.

What are your plans for this weekend? Hope you have a great one! Don't forget to be awesome. xx

  1. Plenty of light and sunshine to warm the soul as we head toward the shortest day of the year.

    Have a warm and cosy weekend Betty. Give yourself a hug if you get lonely and know you're good company.

  31. To prawda, że to ostatnie kolory jesieni, niestety. Kotek jednak wszystko wynagrodził. Ja jutro mam chrzciny w rodzinie. Pozdrawiam.
    It is true that the last colors of autumn, unfortunately. Spite, however, all reward. Tomorrow I will have a family christening. Yours.

  42. You've certainly have captured the beauty of autumn in your wonderful photos. We're going to spend much of the weekend trying to clean up some of the leaves autumn has dumped in our yard.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I want to scoop that kitty up and put her in my pocket. What a cutie. I love the lemons and garlic in the mason jars. Everything you do is just so creative.

    This weekend, we're watching the lake melt from its early freeze so that we can get the boat out of the water. ;)
