Hi angel friends! :) my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a great day :) we're thinking of you all, and hope everyone is keeping warm :) Thank you everyone, for your wonderful prayers, warm well wishes, and for all of the comfort :) we appreciate everything :) we're all taking good care :) its been a long rough week, with our health being unwell, We're all taking good care, and determined to get back to 100% full health :) We had a very light baking friday adventure today, as we all haven't been well. There's glimmer of wonderful hope, and healing progress though, which is such a great blessing :) we're looking forward to continuing to get better :) We've felt all of your incredible love, care, and support, which has kept us motivated, and moving forward into each day :)

This morning, we had a sweet new day, with sunshine, rising and shining :) each morning, we all have been checking in on eachother :) my mom, Lisa, and i were up early :) Holly's been resting in bed today :) we're all continuing to take good care, and focused on healing, and getting back to full 100% health :) i bundled up this morning, and gathered a big bowl of goodies :) i put some treats outside for our nature friends, lots of bluejays swarmed our yard :) it was awesome to see so many bluejays :) the sun was rising up more :) our nature friends were enjoying their baking friday breakfast feast :) awww! :) i got some apple sauce for Holly, i made some wheat toast with butter, and made a hot chamomile tea for Holly :) my mom and Lisa had breakfast too :) my niece Alyssa went to the walk in medical center, to get x-rays, as she hasn't been feeling well. She has bronchitis, and got medicine. Jenn and Hunter stopped by for a visit, for a little while :) they both are feeling better, and brought some donuts  :)it was nice having a donut :) its so nice of Jenn and Hunter to bring donuts :) we were hanging out for a little while :) it was great seeing Jenn and Hunter, as they both have been unwell all week and unable to visit. its so nice, they're on the mend, and getting better :) We're all taking very good care :)

Around 3pm, i prepared some nice onion pretzels :) it's one of our favorite recipes, and is a fun, easy recipe :) Holly was resting in bed, she would love to join in on a baking friday adventure sometime :) She doesn't like to get her picture taken much, maybe someday :) she has said though, she'd love to join in on baking friday sometime :) my mom, dad, and i were in the kitchen talking, as i prepared the pretzels :) i made a big batch of pretzel dough :) i got some water heating up on the stove, to put the pretzels into :) i cut the pretzel dough into portions, and made the pretzels into the classic pretzels shapes :) after boiling the pretzels for about 45 seconds each, i then put the pretzels onto a nice buttered greased pan : ) i melted some more butter, and put some onion flakes into the melted butter, and drizzled it onto the pretzels, and i also made a  garlic and black pepper pretzel for Holly :) she wanted one :)

The pretzels baked nicely in the oven :) they came out great, our whole kitchen smelled so nicely, fresh baked pretzels :) it was nice baking the pretzels today :) i missed Kayla and the kids in the kitchen, but they'll be much better by next week, and we'll have a classic, baking friday adventure :) a special shoutout for family and friends :) lots of great baking and cooking this week :) we love hearing about the nice goodies, and foods you all bake, and cook :) we're with eachother in spirit, in our kitchens :) i wish we all could gather, and have a big baking friday picnic :) Homemade Pretzels, dedicated to our wonderful family, friends, and to the awesome spirit of the season :) we love you all so very very much! :) many great memories made, and so many more memories to look forward too :) baking friday, we love it!!! :) January 25th, 2019 :) Happybaking friday everyone :)

Hi, Chris glad everyone is starting to feel better, My Dad never liked getting his picture taken either. My grandson is the same way. It's nice to have pictures of our loved ones. Maybe Holly would take a picture with you if you did not put it on the internet, I hope you all enjoyed your treats. Have a good night.

Hi Chris and Holly So glad that all of you are on the mend. Your pretzels look really good. I love pretzels and occasionally get one when we are at Walmart and Subway has them baking. WE are pretty much just resting at home as well. I made two cherry pies yesterday for John. Have a great weekend and hope you all continue to get well and on the mend. Hugs--John Debbie Mya
