I use Silver Lights to brighten my hair, and Aloe Rid to get the yellow out. A smile makes everyone more attractive. Happy girls are the prettiest!

Just this week after I'd bake...Dearest Deborah,<br />Just this week after I'd baked us some waffles with raspberries, blueberries and Canadian maple syrup, I was discussing with my baby-sister the availability of raspberries and blueberries here at Costco, year-round. They come from Chile when they're not being produced in the USA.<br />She said they only had them for a brief period, when produced fresh and only frozen for the remainder of the year. I mentioned to her the economical way of using seasonal apples, pears and such. She said I will be doing that next! Here you too pondered about it and made some delicious and healthy waffle topping.<br />Only the smell of those spices makes one warm.<br />You are so right about dressing warm and I too have mainly cold hands in the evenings, just like in my younger years.<br />Enjoy being cozy and snuggle up the way you want to.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-86327435673502692192015-11-10T18:50:28.182-05:002015-11-10T18:50:28.182-05:00Hi Deborah, what a delicious compote you made.

I too love a robe that is straight down without a belt to tie. It's about the warm cozy feel being inside during this nesting season. You had some cool temps already. We are still around 70 during the day but drops to upper 40's or 50's over night. Better then 102 any day. Enjoy the week and stay warm.<br />xoCelestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-13989175943504190862015-11-10T18:08:39.912-05:002015-11-10T18:08:39.912-05:00Hi Deborah,

The blue colour is so lovely and I am sure it looks beautiful with your new hair colour and shorter hair style. I am thinking I must stop colouring my hair soon (still getting blonde streaks) and also get a shorter cut. I always wear my hair pinned up and will be turning 60 in January - so it's time. You look so gorgeous with your hair in every style and every colour! Thank you for sharing and inspiring me on your beautiful blogspot! Have a delightful week!
