I was home all day. What a relief. I baked cranberry bread today. Just seemed like a shame to go through the holiday without some. I also spent a good chunk of the day wrapping presents and getting boxes ready to send. I also sorted the candy that I will be sending to the family. Buckeyes and fudge. Got to get that all sent before I go to Oklahoma to find my home.
Tonight Kate and I met at the Plymouth Arts Center for the opening of the Members Christmas show. Last year, I put a fabric piece in , this year I just didn't get around to it. My friend, Mark Montaba, got the merit award this year.
So time for bed. Tomorrow is the Celtic Christmas Tea at the Plymouth History Museum. This is our tenth year. I have to bake Irish Brown Bread in the morning. Must be fresh you know.

Well, I had a whole day at home today.
Mr. Nicky did not let me sleep late, but he did not get me up early either.
I spent the day on wrapping Christmas presents and cleaning . I also made a famous Kunert Spinach Egg and Cheese casserole. I made it in two casseroles and gave half to my neighbors Bob and Peggy. Peggy just got home yesterday from rehab for her double knee replacement.
I talked to my sister Nora and my granddaughter Sara tonight so I am not lonely. Isn't that nice?

Today was a nice day. It rained during the night but was dry most of the day.
I baked some gluten free cookies to take to the Kettle Country Quilters. (I had all the ingredients for them and they are REALLY good.) Helen and Lucy, two of my friends from the club suggested that I come for the Christmas Party. I haven't been there in such a LONG time but so many of my friends are there and it seemed like a good way to see them again and to say goodbye. Had a great meal and a wonderful party.
I brought home a real Yule Log as a door prize. Now I need to find a fireplace to burn it in.
I did some grocery shopping and went to the post office for stamps and for boxes to mail stuff in while I was out.
I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. Yippee. I am not even going shower. Tee Hee.
Talked to my niece Suzi tonight. Sure good to hear her voice. She is a pleasure.

Well, It has been a while. Has anybody missed me.
Thanksgiving was just wonderful. Richard and Brenda came and picked me and Nicky up about 3:30PM to go to Bobbie and Bill's for a really scrumptious meal. Turkey, squash casserole, green bean almondine and on and on and on - finished off with hickory nut and pumpkin pie for dessert. Nicky did well but left doggy hair on Bobbie's rug. Tsk Tsk. It was a great day despite the fact that we watched the Packers lose so stupidly. It was nice to see Farve's number retired though and to see Bart Starr, still hanging in there.
Richard and Brenda stayed the night with me, as usual. We had breakfast and more of a visit in the morning. They left when they figured there was little danger of icy roads any longer. After they left, I drove to Jeff's place in Hilbert and helped finish butchering the deer that was harvested in their party. I donated my meat slicer to the crew as for the past several years, the only time I use it is for the deer anyway. I also gave them the electric knife which I never use. So I have some venison steaks and also some liver which Bobbie and I will share soon.
Friday night I went to meet some friends at 52 Stafford to listen to Blarney and have a drink or two. It was fun.
Today, Bobbie and Bill took me to Memories to see the dinner theater presentation of an L. M. Montgomery Christmas. Always a good meal and a nice feel good Christmas play to start the season off.
The other big news is that I have sold the condo. I am selling it on a lease option which I considered long and hard, but it will work for me, so I decided to go for it. I will be in Oklahoma from the 13th to the 19th, hopefully to buy a home. I have several to look at that I have explored on Zillow. I will have to be out of here by January 23rd. A lot to do and little time.
So that should catch us up - I'll try to be more consistant.
