Evening..sorry i missed Dec 21... i was in town most of the day, and was worn right out when i got home..then had to do chores, and stoke the fire... i was so tired i was in bed by 10 pm, an hour earlier than normal...first day of winter we had about 4 inches of new snow... cleans things up... and not enough to have to plow..so tonight it stayed lighter for a whole 2 minutes... but spring is coming..got all gifts bought and only 4 left to wrap..simple things... books and a china coffee cup.. Joe and Kelly went to the coast on Thursday, and left Grandma's at 11 am today, and got home at 5 pm... 6 hours to do a normal 2.5 or 3 hour trip..Transport trucks didn't think they had to chain up, and got to the snow shed and spun out... so they had to wait behind them ... no one was going fast enough to have an accident...glad they finally got home... funny how a Mom still worries about her 31 year old son, and every time i see a car accident down in Vancouver, i look to see what colour the car is, as youngest son Matt lives in Coquitlam..silly old mom...
Larry is doing okay... he is spending more time out in the shop... which gives me Sheila time in the house..mind you he did muck out the bird cage this morning... at least Yankee will be clean for Christmas.. we love him dearly but he sure is a messy bird..if we ever win mega $$ i will have a huge cage that i can use a hose on... I got my Christmas present the other day...a fancy Mixer..like a Kitchen aid, but it is a Wolfgang Puck...although it was not as advertised... ad said it had 2 bowls and was 700 watts, so of course it only had 1 bowl and only 600 watts..i will call Sears and complain... probably won't do any good... used it to make 'Johnny cake" sure was fast..use the Johnny cake to make Southern turkey stuffing... corn bread, baking powder biscuits and bread..lots of 'thyme', oregano, basil, and rosemary and a smidge of sage..lots of onions, celery and green onions and olive oil.... haven't made it for years, so thought i would try it again... takes forever to make...a couple of days in advance for the cornbread and biscuits...
Everyone have a great Christmas, and a Happy New Year...
Hugs Sheila
