The smattering of snow was all gone by 2PM this afternoon.    The ground is still too warm to keep it.   I can't say I am unhappy about that.    Took Nicky for a walk about 3PM and it was really quite pleasant as the sun was out and the wind was down.

It was a quiet day.    Sometimes I get sick of quiet days.   I will gradually as I get stronger DO things.   Dick used to laugh because I wanted to be "doing things".    He was perfectly content just being.   (As long as I was there:)

He loved family and close friends around but really loved when it was just him and me.   What a compliment to ME>

It is early morning on December 23.     WE HAVE SNOW ON THE GROUND. 

Nicky was not thrilled.

Merry Christmas

Two quiet days.    I did some baking both of them.    I decided that if "Why do we have Christmas without Buckeyes" then why would we have Christmas without Lizzies, my Mother's fruitcake cookie.   Nobody else, except Deeley's make them so I made a batch today.   Maybe I will share, maybe I will not:)   Ask if you want them.

I just have to make a coconut cream pie on Sunday and then I am done.

Nothing else exciting.   Packages are arriving and I am trying to keep up with Christmas cards.

Tomorrow and Saturday, I won't be going anywhere

Just got home from a spectacular Christmas event, featuring my great granddaughter, Abby Benoit in a featured, speaking role,    as Kid 1.    Barbara, Marlies and myself drove to Geronimo to the school to see the program with the rest of the family.   

I loved it.   

Children's singing, is mostly yelling, but their enthusiasm is contagious and their director picked wonderful music for them.

Anyway.   Time for bed now.

A nice quiet day.    I spent most of it at home, BUT was invited for a taco casserole dinner at Bart and Barb's.     Always good to eat a meal with someone.

Bobbie and Bill's packages arrived today.   I am set on soap AND her special candies.   Yum Yum.

Til tomorrow

It is chilly today.   I asked my friend and neighbor, Jarrod, to help me replace the lights on the garage that have been out for a while.   I felt well enough and am confessing that I did try myself, but I forgot how.

It is Sunday and I am being VERY lazy mostly.    I went to the 8:30 Mass and then to a pancake breakfast that the KC's were having in the gym.    God knew that I have been hungry for pancakes.   They even had blueberry pancakes and I ate two - plus bacon and eggs.

I am all caught up on Christmas cards.

The coming week is very quiet.   I have only one doctor appointment and no other scheduled events.  Now, as I am feeling better, I need to start DOING things again.    I am sick of feeling like a sludge and want to be useful.   Can't believe that Christmas is one week away.   Can't believe even more that it has been 5 years since my sweetheart went to heaven.    I miss him more every year.    I imagine that this is how Mom felt.
