Shane boarded a plane bound for Minnesota yesterday to attend his grandfather’s funeral, so it’s been a pretty quiet weekend at Chez Schnell. And I’ve been a bit down – missing my husband, grieving for his family’s loss, battling that monthly funk… Â But I’m finding comfort in the smallest of pleasures. Â Like gingerbread pancakes. Â And brownies. Â And an afternoon spent knitting and watching Serendipity with Nance. Â Coffee and a soul-baring catch-up with La Verne. Â A couple of head-clearing runs on the treadmill with Shakira and Sia. Â Copious amounts of mint tea and far too many episodes of Dawson’s Creek. Â Yep, home alone and I’m livin’ large.
