Sunday

Here Kiwi and I once again sit (you notice we always talk in the mornings) discussing a few things. Namely why the kitchen smells like banana nut bread and why his cage was moved yesterday while Michelle was baking that food that fills the kitchen and household with the smell of a burning scented Banana Nut Bread Yankee Candle. 

Yes Michelle got an early start on her Christmas baking, yesterday. Because Banana nutbread takes so long to bake, she got it out of the way yesterday before taking on the cookie adventures of this upcoming weekend. She will have a different kitchen assistant for the start of her three-day baking extravaganza. My sister Kim has volunteered to come over and assist Michelle with the baking. She'll be off Friday and plans on baking cookies all weekend. Kim is going to bring her Kitchen-Aid over on next weekend and we'll have two of them going and mixing up batches. Michelle even ordered them a couple of aprons for this coming weekend's festivities. 

Last night we traveled to Fairmont for Michelle's company Christmas Dinner at Muriels. They have always been one of my favorite restaurants and I have always been a big fan of Muriels. Michelle is fortunate to work for a small, and caring company, FD Kitchens and Baths, that is like an extended family to her. Michelle even managed to pass out a few of her business cards this past week and may have just gotten them between one and three customers who want to remodel their homes by coincidence. 

The WVU Men's Soccer team made it to the final 4, but lost to Clemson Friday evening to end their miraculous and magical season. They finished the season 17-3-4 and were the #5 team going into the NCAA Tournament. This is the best season ever for WVU Men's Soccer. The Women's team played for the National Championship a few years ago. 

Have yourselves a great day.
