• Hi All !!

  Terribly busy time of year so I am doing this update on a Sunday morning at 4:30 a.m.  Seems like it is the only time of day when the mind is clear (as clear as it gets) and the body is rested. First of all, I would like to thank Becky for putting the slide show on here for me. By the time I figured it out, the new year would be here. She did it in 5 minutes. She is good at the techy stuff. That's one benefit in this age of technology. If you have children, you HAVE to keep up on the cyber things in order to keep up (and monitor) the kids. Things continue to go well for me.  The house was closed on Friday so that is over. The ex will pay rent to the new owner to live there for the winter. I hate the idea of him getting to stay in the house my parents built . I left in April 2006 and he has to leave in April 2007 so he is getting a whole extra year there. Of course now that my belongings are out of there, it doesn't sting quite so much. I will just be glad when there is somebody in that house that can create HAPPY memories there.  I am starting my descent into the world of cookies. I have about 20 dozen sugar cookies done and waiting to be frosted. Today I will do the Hershey's Kiss cookies and the marshmallow chocolate fudge. For those of you who don't know me, 20 dozen sugar cookies is just a drop in the bucket. Long long way to go yet but I will get there eventually. I love doing my Christmas baking so it is a fun time for me. I am so grateful to be HERE. If I were still in NY, we wouldn't be doing Christmas at all this year, so it is nice to be safe and warm and surrounded by Christmas music while I bake. Of course I don't know what happened to me yesterday. I have all the baking and wrapping and preparation to do for Christmas so I got up yesterday morning and ended up changing the furniture around in my room. Why?? I haven't a clue, but if anyone finds my priorities lying around out there, could you please return them to me? Well, I like to hear the sound of the spinning mixer before daylight so I need to get at it. I hope everyone is well and happy and doing the HO HO HO thing. Will try to get back here sooner. Love to all......PS: Becky and I went to a craft fair and I pulled on her sleeve and begged with the PLEAE PLEASE PLEASE routine in order to get her to have our picture taken with Santa. She told Santa that she was nearly 40 years old and her Mother was STILL making her get her picture taken with Santa. Santa said "Ho ho ho. That's a GOOD thing."
