Slug Bug

I didn't do that much today.
Blonde Girl was on a sleepover and we were happy to see her go.
Miss Brunette and I watched "The Closer" and then a Masterpiece Contemporary movie called
"The Curator".
I think that is what is was called.
It was great.
Then, we watched "Bell, Book and Candle".
I love DVRs.
Neighbor Meggan called us and we walked through the park with the dogs and kids.
I made dinner and am now looking for a book to read.
Winter Break has its perks.

Christmas Cheer

On Christmas Eve,
Love Man drove around the neighborhood.
He nearly got mobbed at the park.
We went to our friend's house and she BELIEVED.
It was hilarious.



















We followed Santa in the car.
Too funny.

Merry Christmas

We attended the children's service

late yesterday afternoon. Blonde Girl and all of the other Sunday School kids sang and did a lot of the service.

After dinner, we drove around and looked at the lights. Our neighborhood is known for the Christmas lights.

Home Improvement

Did I tell you that Love Man is

making a patio in our backyard?

It is where the Adirondack chairs sit.

Fruity

Our fruit is ready.

I have lots of lemons.

The oranges are good.

Look at the one on the far left bottom,

a lot of our fruit is dented from the hail.



These lemons are the first fruits of this tree, which is always exciting.

In the Air Today

We are getting all of the rain from California.

It rained yesterday and is going to rain for the next two days.

The moisture in the air feels good.

Miss B and Blonde Girl keep saying,

"it smells like Iowa."

That is what they say everytime it rains.

Half Baked

Do you bake and make candy around Christmas?
I do.
So far I have made chocolate peppermint cookies,
yum!
Caramel Corn, OMG.
Chex Mix, which is always great.
Fudge, which is one of my faves.
And, Lasagna for Christmas Day.
DO NOT SEND ME EMAILS ABOUT HOW WE SHOULD HAVE TURKEY.
My English friend thinks it is barking mad that I have lasagna.
Lots of folks of Italian descent serve this for Christmas dinner.
Okay, I am not Italian but have some Mediterranean blood in me.
I have filled my tins and we are going to be delivering them in the next couple of days.
I am sorry to say Neighbor John will not be getting anything.
He is still on the naughty list.
He will miss my cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning.
I always made extra for him.
