After breakfast we loaded up and headed out to the farm where Mum and Dad were hosting Christmas Lunch for the whole Godfrey clan.  We had such a mint day, the weather was awesome, the house was perfect for lunch for so many people, the

I am going…nowhere!  We have already been on our shopping excursion for the day
I am reading…a textbook, I don’t recall what fiction is anymore : (
I am hoping…a bourbon fairy really does exist
I am hearing…The BBC doco The Blue Planet
Around the house…things are great, I have reclaimed most of it from ‘Ethan’s extravagent Christmas’, (he only just realized that he got a digital camera for Christmas, too many other wonderful things to play with)
One of my favourite things…is my new olive oil drizzler I picked up today
A few plans for the rest of the week:  New Years holla
