where does the time go?

Retirement has made me appreciate the comment from the Dowager Countess in Downton Abbey. “What’s a weekend?” The Big Guy and I are constantly, yet temporarily, mixing up the day of the week when we have no set plans. “It’s Tuesday? Feels like a Monday!” HA!

Time flying became clear to me as I started to rotate my canned goods…both homemade and store bought, in my pantry. I was very saddened to see I allowed my homemade jam to sit on the shelf for almost a year. WHAT? How did that happen?

The easy answer is life happens and we got busy doing other things. While I am late to the New Year’s Resolution game, I am making one vow now to keep checking my pantry and planning special meals around anything about to expire!
