A Spanish Proverb

There is a Spanish proverb that speaks to my soul, that says, "How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward."  When we get especially busy like we have been the last several days, I think of that proverb because after being so busy, my favorite thing that I quite enjoy doing, is nothing--But I didn't get to do that this weekend. On the positive side, I didn't have to find time to cook because on Friday I made chicken-noodle soup for a co-workers birthday lunch and we had plenty of leftovers.

You may recall that in my last post I mentioned that the insurance adjuster was coming to look at our barn that lost part of its roof during the hurricane. I have to admit that we were concerned about the roof being covered under our policy because we don't know its age.  In the end that was never an issue, and our insurance will generously compensate us for repairs to the roof or a new one (we're not sure what the cost is for either one).  We are very grateful that we'll receive something for its repair or replacement.

The week ahead is also going to be a busy one trying to get everything done before the Thanksgiving holiday.  I am only working two days, but there's plenty to do before Thursday.  Added to everything we agreed this morning to take a 13 year old senior girl that her owners want picked up by Wednesday.  I'll tell you her story when she is safely here.  We're trying to arrange her transport to us and I'm hoping she'll be here by Tuesday evening.

Until things slow down for me, I have a feeling that the dogs will continue to embody the Spanish proverb, and I'm okay with that--I think they area too!

Finally, a few of you asked about the recipe for the cinnamon-sugar-bread that Todd was eyeing in my last post. He did in fact get a little taste of it as did the other dogs.  You can click HERE for the link that will take you to where I found this pretty good and very easy recipe. 

 Enjoy!!
