Johanna Basford 2019 Coloring Calendar – December

I was able to complete all of the December coloring pages in the Johanna Basford 2019 coloring calendar. The last few were finished in January of 2020, but I’m ok with that. The world moves too fast for me, due to my chronic illnesses.

Restoration – by Olaf Olafsson

This is a heartbreaking story of love, and loss, and loneliness. It takes place in Italy, in the 1920’s. After the war begins, everything becomes more uncertain than it was before.

Kitchen Scramble App: Mangotego Bay

Mangotego Bay is the fourteenth town in the Kitchen Scramble game. Some of the recipes include fruity drinks (that do not appear to be alcoholic). Many recipes must be cooked on a grill, or thrown into a fryer.

It’s a good idea to get the highest level fryer before starting this town. Players should also save up plenty of gold, because they must make an appliance purchase before they can start Mangotego Bay levels.
