TWiP: Food, Family, and the Comforts of Home

Do you ever look at the posts that are linked under “Same Time Previous Years” at the end of my TWiP posts? I do. Every time I post a new one, I like to see what I was up to this time last year, and the year before, and often the year before that.

This week is no exception. Cranberry bread, game nights, candle light… I am so guided by traditions, that it’s nearly always subconscious, and often surprising. As in, “hey look! I did this exact same thing last year! And the 3 years before that, too!” Who knew? 😁

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the photos I shot for Project 365 (the occasional when-I-feel-like-it theme for 2017 is “words”), plus some snapshots I posted on Instagram during the previous week.

Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…

365 📷: 2017 323/365 – Chatting with my husband and brewing my second cup of coffee. It’s 10:22am here in New Jersey, and 11:22pm where he is in China.

Monday

365 📷: 2017 324/365 – So, Neil is home. And apparently too tired to sit like a normal person 😉

365 📷: 2017 326/365 – Eamonn wrote another book, and it just arrived. I’m looking forward to reading it ☺

365 📷: 2017 327/365 – It’s Emma’s first Thanksgiving ☺ [Taken at my in-laws’ house.]

Friday

365 📷: 2017 328/365 – I’m so glad I took today off. It was a good day. I finished off the cranberries and made more bread. Most of the family came over to help us eat it later. That’s always a good time ☺

  1. Great food, family, beautiful sweater!!! I know how proud you are of the resident author. Good for him.

    1. Thanks, Chloe 😊. His writing gets better with each one he does. I’m on the second sleeve of that sweater today… Hopefully I’ll be done this weekend!
