Candy Cane Christmas

I made some cookies for the office snack day tomorrow.  My favorites, Candy Cane cookies.  They aren't the easiest, but they are the cookies we always asked mom to make.   And every year, she would make them for us.  I think I miss my mom at Christmas time the most.  She loved making cookies and goodies.

Christmas concert

I wa going to take a picture of the concert   tonight, but the program says no photography , so here is the sage of the concert .

Around the Christmas Tree

 It was a cold winter's night.  Freezing rain brought icy streets and slippery walkways.  A good night to stay in with some movies.  Okay, I slept through the third one!  But not before I got these pictures of some pretty ornaments on the tree.  And the cat.  (Not my cat, mind you, I'm a dog person).  She likes to curl up under the tree in the evenings.  I think, for a cat, under the tree is a wonderful place to take a nap!  She didn't stay awake for even the first movie.

Throwback Thursday and a Pink Flamingo

A friend did this from an old picture I had - he did a wonderful job!!!  He just finished it recently (for Christmas last year).  Such a great gift!!!

This picture was taken back in the 60's and I was probably around 7 years old.  From my hat and shoes, I call tell it was an Easter Sunday morning on our way to church.

Here's the original picture.

Running on Empty

Okay, I admit it, I go too long between fill ups in the winter!  It's that silly discount I get at Price Chopper!  I never ever get to save on a full 20 gallons because my car holds about 15, so I make every penny count.

Frosted Window PAINS

I know that's not how the song goes, but that was what I was singing this morning.  One of those things I do not like about winter - scraping the windshield.  What a pain.  If I didn't have to go to work, and if it wasn't so bitterly cold, it would be kind of pretty.

Still a pain.

Deer Christmas

Another Pier One thing - only this time I arranged it myself.  The little deer is just too cute.  The commercials are right - they really do speak to you!
