Busy day today!  First we zipped out for coffee and grocery shopping.  Then home and struggled trying to attach the curtain rods but gave up and prepared a slow cooker coq au vin for supper and ran to do some errands then back and lickety split - up went the rods.  SHEESH!!!  I've never in my life done this and hope to never repeat such again - even used an electric drill!!!  But the valance one needs two central supports so will have to find some tomorrow.

Supper was awesome and I'll definitely be making it again.  After doing dishes Sylvia started making a lemon meringue pie while I  started coring and slicing apples for the yummy apple roses.  Then it was teamwork preparing the tarts for their coffee group.  AND AGAIN the puff pastry did not thaw in sheets so it wasn't just me not knowing how to use it!
