Most Delicious Belgian Waffles
It has been a great week filled with happy news. Cait & Sam closed on their new house! At first, I did not see "the vision" of what this neglected structure could be, but after getting down and dirty ripping up old carpet to discover oak floors and cleaning the fireplace soot from old Pennsylvania stone the charm of the "good bones" has won me over.
Cait & Sam will restore this home to its former beauty. Better, yet, together, they will fill this house with love, family gatherings and special memories. Isn't that what investing in a house is all about? Add a garden and life is good.
By now you must have figured out I am too tired (from house renovations) to talk about grief. It takes a certain amount of brain power to intelligently discuss that subject and right now I have none. Actually, being totally distracted by hard labor did remind me of something and that is that helping someone else achieve a goal is a great feel-good exercise. We should all do it more often. If grief is getting the best of you lately, give it a try. Volunteer, help a neighbor or call a friend or family member and see if they could use a hand. Your life will be brighter!
Now let's make the most delicious Belgian waffles with pumpkin and pecans.

Gorgeous house!!! That's so exciting for them 🙂 and you! And good for you, too, sometimes it's nice to do some hard work and forget about all those other things affecting your life isn't it?! 🙂 xoxo

yes, hard work gives one purpose and maybe a bit of gratitude for the distraction

Sam and Cait's home looks like one out of BHG! It has such a warm and inviting look. And those waffles! I am going to have a Lisa recipes blitz of cooking with all the good stuff you have been posting! 🙂

It is being lovingly transformed. One of Will's Navy buddies lives nearby and has started a painting business. We are so proud to have him be a part of our family and help Caitlin and Sam with the renovations. Hope you like the waffles.
