Today was a nice day.    A much to quiet day as far as voices.    A friend called me this afternoon which broke up the afternoon

I feel good about today.   I did some wash, I baked and I mixed up the pie crust for the figgy hobbin so I feel that I did something.

Christmas is coming quickly and I will be ready.   Just hafe to make some soup and bake the figgy hobbin.    Easy and comfortable.

Was a quiet day.    Nicky and I took a walk this afternoon.   It was windy and I almost lost my hat.    Had to chase it down.

Mixed up my stollen dough this afternoon, will bake them tomorrow.

Went to church for the Sacrament of Reconciliation tonight, so I am all ready for Christmas:)

Talked to a Wisconsin friend.    We had a nice visit.   They have no snow and none projected between now and Christmas.

Today I attended the last bible study of the year.    This time of the year always sounds so dramatic.    NEXT YEAR       For heavens sake, it is only three weeks.     

We had a great time.  A Couple of people brought threats and one of our members brought presents for everybody.       I like to just bring fresh scones every once in  a while throughout the year.

I mixed up a batch of 6 week bran muffins today so I can fix them on Christmas when I plan on serving split pea soup which ar a natural for the muffins.  Actually, I was going to try something else, but Bart said that Bran Muffins were the proper way to go.    I try not to buck tradition

Tomorrow is the last bible study of the year.    I can't believe how fact time is passing.

Another busy day.   I went to the post office and got all but one package mailed and most of my Christmas cards.

I had the wrong address for one so will have to go back tomorrow.   I also plan on picking up my Dirty Santa gift for Christmas eve as long as I am out.

I baked my Lizzies (My fruitcake like cookies) today.   I love them.   Almost decided not to bake them and then decided that I was worth it:)

I kept myself busy most of the day and then got invited to Bart and Barb's house for a sumptuous dinner of schnitzel.    They had invited the missionaries over and kindly include me in these feasts.    The missionaries are always an interesting group of young people and I enjoy spending time with them.    AND it is a meal that I don't have to eat alone.

Tomorrow I am going to the post office.   Have six packages to mail.
