Merry Christmas....2022

Well, I hoped I'd make it back over here to get at least one more post in before Christmas. Time is getting shorter before the big day arrives. I got my cards mailed...started my baking...finished the last-minute shopping...and now, the post is getting done. I'm really trying to be better at posting on my blog. So many people, including myself, are on Facebook posting instead of here on Blogger. I love this medium (been here since 2007) because it seems so much more personal...off the beaten path, as it were. Slower paced. It seems some people on FB worry more about hits than content. NOT MY FRIENDS!!! but some... you know the ones...they Never talk to you or visit you once you accept their friend's request. They never like your post because they don't really take the time to read them. We all have those "friends". Time to do some FB weeding...

Ready for Santa

Larry made this Eiffel Tower with his laser. I made him add lights...lol... they change colors.

Tried to get a cute snap of Sloane but she just wasn't in the mood.

Made some Snowball cookies for Santa's arrival...

Also made Pecan Pies (2)

Me, at 3:30 this morning...hubby either, so I fixed toast and coffee.

I wanted a digital Presto Canner for the longest! It arrived and I'm in canner's Heaven!

Who can be in a bad mood after gazing upon this little face, I ask?!!

I made a Sheet Pan lunch with chicken, potatoes, yellow squash, bell pepper and onions. Turned out great!

Well, Merry Christmas my Friends! Stay safe...Stay warm...and enjoy your holiday!

The reason for the Season...

She's Off to Daycare...

Morning Guys...Well, my greatgran Sloane is off to daycare today. I've taken care of her since October. I knew this day was coming, sooner than later, but it doesn't make the parting easier. You get very attached. She will still be coming to me on Fridays...only until noon unless Samantha has a client in the afternoon. So, we won't have to go through total withdrawal...and that's a good thing.

Hope you've gotten all your Christmas shopping finished. I'm going out today to get some last-minute things accomplished. Hubs and I ran to town Saturday...gads...and it was a madhouse!! Stood in the checkout line over thirty minutes. My feet were not happy about the situation. If you're going out, just be safe...check out your surroundings! I'm licensed to carry but I'm still extremely aware. These days? People are under tons of stress. Try to be kind and patient.

I'll get in another post before Christmas, hopefully. Hope you're well and are enjoying the cooler temps. This is Texas and heat hangs around for at least six months. Starts early, stays late.

Be safe...will be around to check up on you soon!
