New hobby alert! The plaid is messy, but for my first 8 cookies, I'm pretty proud! Please squint when admiring ...


The family friend and her daughter came by yesterday and staked a claim on 3 lamps, 3 rugs, and a mirror. They don't move in until the end of January, but nice to know I will have more clearing of stuff in a month!

The deck/roofers will finish stucco and the deck part today and paint the new stucco tomorrow and start on replacing the stairs in new Trex. No wonder it was so expensive.

Otherwise, today I frost...

Take care!

116.8 - I seem to always lose a bit on travel days. Not enough time to snack I guess LOL.

Over 6 inches of snow greeted us at the house yesterday afternoon. Very pretty but Justice doesn't like walking in it at all. I hope we can get him out this morning for a bit. We are going to be gone all day doing errands. The snow should be gone by the weekend as it is supposed to gradually warm up to the 50s with rain on Friday.

Not much else to report this morning. We need to get moving soon and take Justice out as we have to drop the rental car off by 11:15, go to lunch in DH's former town, then go to my former town to see SIL. We are going to help her put the Christmas tree up, get my many packages sent there, and take her out to dinner.

Have a wrapping Wednesday!

I so miss Shel. I think of her often and how brave she was in her last days. Do you remember how she made her daughter's graduation party so special? I guess it was one of the last gifts from her.

I definitely would not have the patience to make those. I make the easiest cookie ever: little almond and butter balls rolled in confectionary sugar.

I guess everything has a little computer in it that sometimes needs to be reset.

I hope several rugs and lots of cookies left with your friend!

Sounds like a fun trip! I agree that retirement definitely suits you!

Most of Cape COD received about 2-3 inches of snow a couple of days before we got here, but in our part of the Cape there was more than 6 inches.

DH likes to receive experiences as gifts so I try to give one as a gift every year. Last year it was a short trip to Block Island at the end of July. This year it is a 2 day trip to Margaritaville on Hollywood Beach in Florida in mid April. We took a walk on the boardwalk there a couple of months ago and thought it would be fun to stay there.

You are making me think about doing something about my hearing. I am having problems with exactly the same situations. Both my mother and grandmother ended up being hard of hearing so I figure I will need them eventually.

Did your brother's success with the sleeve lead to your surgery, or was it the other way around? So glad he had some years of freedom from the struggle with obesity.

I sometimes think about her daughter, and how Shel used what little time she had left to try and prepare her for life without her Mom. I hope she is well.
