hello

I'm peeking out from my blog break. I've been so sick (with a cold) that it was a well timed break. I anticipate this cold is going to linger another week, though. Bummer. I'm trying to get a bit more sleep and to focus on increasing my healthy lifestyle habits so I don't get sick so much!! Saturday was super-lazy. I did muster up enough energy to make this healthy banana bread from The Blue Heron Ranch cookbook (one of my faves). If you have the cookbook, I recommend increasing the sweetener just a bit. I switched it from honey to maple syrup and kept the same amount but halved everything else (to make just one loaf). It's still minimally sweet but more popular with the family. Next time I'll add nuts.
The only project I'm working on right now is this shawl. I'm having so much fun with it. It's a kick working with such tiny yarn and needles!
And there were plenty of pots of tea.

Sunday was a rainy road trip with the family for a kids with cancer event. Unfortunately it rained, so not as fun as we had hoped! It was fun to be together though.

Happy Monday morning to everyone!
