We Had A White Christmas For Sure!!

Poor neighbor missed the one spot he could have gotten through. Along the fence behind we have 6 foot pines that are drifted in.

Church was cancelled for today since this is a farming community and we are all in the same drift.

Sure was beautiful to watch it swirling around. While you prayed for the electricity to stay on. It did, thank you Lord.

Just an update on our neck of the woods, Bless You all. Marj

Just Found Out Today!!!!!!!

My great grandchild will be a girl. It is exciting. Now I know which way to go when I enter giveaways and such.
Know what colors to put together for layette, car seat, sheets, etc.
Oh the possibilities are endless. Can't wait to speak with my daughter and see what goodies we can cook up together before April or May.
The Lord decides when and we are just thrilled.
Congratulations to all of the family of man.

Oh how I wish I were Popeye.

A can of spinach and I would have energy. Talk about a full week.
Monday was shopping......we live 30 minutes away from civilization on a good day. lol It wasn't. Oh well, finished now.
Tuesday was the most relaxing day of all........play catch up on that pile of clean laundry that we need to build a room to hold.
Wednesday.........The beginning of cookies. Two kinds........neither turned out and I had my husbands help. Oh well, I like icky cookies.
Thursday......Boiling and or cutting 25 pounds of chicken breasts. Hey, when they are .99 a pound, even if they are bone in.........you get em. (BTW, this was a rain check from Oct. 3) I like to pound some out and flash freeze..........so yummy and easy.
Wow, that brings us to today.................A new recipie for Pecan Sandies. And they turned out wonderful, I no longer have to hang my head in shame at the cookie exchange in church Sunday. LOL
Blah, Blah, Blah. I just wanted to touch base with all y'all. (NO, still don't have gifts wrapped and sent) 10 lashes with the wimpy cookies. OK? Happy?
Blab at ya later folks.
Toodles.

Aspirin and a Stiff Shot of Jack

ought to fix this back. Unfortunately for me, fortunate for all I'd encounter, I do not drink. So I took the aspirin.
My hubby decided to play "good egg" today and help me with a few things. I was thankful for the help.
No present wrapping yet since I forgot a homemade item for them all, easy to do, just a bit time consuming. Teach me to brag I'm all done.

I really enjoy the Christmas season. The church cookie exchanges, programs, etc. What makes Christmas special for you?

Hey Kids, What Time Is It?

It's time for Christmas Shopping. (Don't hate me because I am all done)
I still have to wrap umpteen gifts and I have been finished for, hmmmmmm, about a month. Mercy, the postman in our small town of 250 people is going to be so disgusted with me. Nothing like waiting till the last minute to mail.
I hope you all have a fantastic week-end, find bargains galore then hurry and beat me to the mail box. lolol
Toodles for today.

Hello My Two Followers

I have missed you. lol

I would much rather do gourds, painting, beading, and just general Christmas gift making than that nasty four letter word called work.

Houses need cleaned, food needs cooked, floors need scrubbed, (yes, I still do that.) We won't say how, but it gets done. So when I am absent it is with good reason.

I have also not felt well. So forgive me until I return, and I must now find out why this Save Now button is automatically doing an autosave. GRR. Catch ya later

HEY Y'ALL, JUMP IN HERE AND SIGN UP

You don't want to miss this folks. These are super looking handbags. So click on over there on the handbag button on the right and get in on the fun.

Quite the switch up round here

We had a gorgeous day of sunshine today. I loved it!! It sure beat yesterday, when I awoke to no electricity. (Naturally our heat out here in the boonies needs electricity to kick on) Perfect excuse for sitting in a chair bundled up with my 2 poodles on my lap. Believe you me, that is just what I did. Stick a hand out and read the Bible or a magazine for awhile then shove it under again for warmth. That got old by 4 p. m. Had to call hubby's work and they brought me (us) out a generator and heater to use.
So, do you think they deserve a plate of cookies or some fudge? I sure do. Even though the electicity was on half an hour after they got me fixed up..........it is such a blessing to know they are kind and caring people.
Enough of this woman's country rambling........later.
