CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS
Our Christmas traditions included cleaning the house until it was spotless, lol, decorating the tree with Christmas music playing and my Dad always singing along to them and I used to love the way he sang. We used to make homemade Christmas cookies and fudge and tasting them of course was my favorite part. [...]
* I cannot believe my five day vacation is about over. I really do not want to go back to work tomorrow. Ann is returning to work on Friday. She is doing three days this week and next, and then she will go full time.
* Things are a lot more expensive this year, but I [...]
We had pumpkin pie for breakfast this morning, but if we were at Becky’s we would have had coconut cake. She sent me the pictures, and I will put them here. Warning, you will drool.

Isn’t that a beautiful loaf of whole wheat bread? ( I made it.)
Also, we realized that Little Bean was [...]
