Well, look who's late with her own challenge!Hahaa...Oh my word! BUT...I've Been Busy!Hahaa...no excuse is it?! Sorry...it'll probably happen again as well.
The Christmas card above is from my Granddaughter, Samantha. She lives on her own...works on her own and we are so proud of her. She is 21. I can't believe where the time went to! Poooofff! Gone! If you still get the fun and joy of having your little ones still making messes, drinking all the milk, running and screaming at the top of their lungs around your house, mark yourself blessed! They grow up way too fast...
The second photo speaks for itself...nothing like fighting the crowds for a few stocking stuffers and having your foot run over by a crazy lady...who just kept on going??!! Hit and run I'd say...
Later...gotta' go make more fudge.
I had been shopping and doing some small time decorating on Sunday. Lunch was made then we both enjoyed dessert...cherry pecan crisp. The whole time, Buddy and Libby stood silently by hoping something would fall to the floor...My Dad use to always say, "Live in hope, die in despair..."
Don't worry though...I found a few nibbles for them both. Christmas is about giving after all...
Hope you're doing great today...
Well...I made a crisp...I did...in a 9x13 inch pan no less. It's big. Guess I didn't visualize the finished product too well...Hahaaa....but boy is it good! You just can not find a better taste than rhubarb. It just imparts that balanced amount of tartness you look for when making these things. Anyway, I like to start baking and taking at least three quarters of what I make, to the shop for the employees at Christmas. I don't always manage to be this industrious but since the challenge, I'm finding that I'm getting off my butt and getting into the spirit more...and that's a good thing.
Hope you're enjoying your Sunday!
I get a text from Larry, asking me to stop by City Hall and pick up a Blue Santa Ornament from the Christmas tree that sits in the front entry room. I don't know how long the tree has been there...probably since December 1st. There were still too many ornaments on that tree! People need to get busy here if we have to have them turned in by the 19th! We have 17 families and 63 children who are in need this year here in Robinson. That's an average of 3.71 kids per family...sad.
Oh well, I'll be checking back on that tree!
We will be shopping this weekend for a baby doll, remote car and clothes. Think we can handle that!
Is there something like this in your town?
Yes...I laid down the law...I challenged a blogger buddy (an Extremely talented one) to get in the Christmas mood (like anyone listens to me). I know it's hard to not have that bah humbug feeling when you feel your day is already so jam packed (I know the feeling) with tons of things to do. ..I said, post a picture every day, on your blog, showing how you are preparing for Christmas...hanging an ornament, baking a cake or cookies...watching that favorite Christmas movie...disasters like breaking an ornament or burning the cookies...or maybe something as ordinary as my photo of our front counter here at work. Boring, I know, but...I had to throw something up there because I think she's going to kick my butt if she reads this...Hahaaa...I also ain't posting her name...momma didn't raise no fool!
Now, if YOU want to join in, just leave a comment here and say, "photo", and we'll all come over to check it out. Can't promise a bunch of lookers (so many of my old blogger buddies no longer blog, which is a darn shame) but even if no one does it, I am...so...Let the Christmas bells ring!
