IF TODAY WERE CHRISTMAS...DECEMBER 18 2011......


We would be having a white Christmas.  Yes, we have snow on the ground, not a lot, but it is white.  Still putting down a fine snow.  But the forecast is that by Wednesday we will be back up in the 50's - goodbye snow!

Attended a fun open house Christmas party last night, lots of food, lots of good conversation, lots of food, lots of laughing, story-telling, and did I mention:  Food.  Really really good food.

Was sprinkling snow when I arrived, ice on the windshield when I left, snowing, beginning to show a little white.  This morning all white.

Wonder if I could convince Jerry to put some snow in the freezer, then next week on Christmas Day he could spread it around?  Somehow I don't think that will happen.  Oh, well, nice thought if nothing else.


These pics were taken in Nashville in December a couple of years ago.  We visited the Christmas Tree display, many many beautiful trees, and then ICE, which is what it says.  The entire building was one huge freezer, you were supplied with heavy winter coats, and everything in the building was made of colored ice.  What an experience!


Two turkeys out of the freezer and in the fridge to start thawing for dinner Christmas.  Deep fried turkey has to be completely thawed, room temp and dry.  Otherwise you are in big trouble.

The third turkey found a home with a friend, and she will pick it up today when we both arrive at church.  Glad I found someone who can use it because we only do turkey twice a year and did not want to keep one in the freezer for 11 months.

Really don't have a whole lot to say today.  No Steeler game until tomorrow night.  Hope the Packers and Ravens both lose.  Probably just wishful thinking.  Will watch the other games though.

Did get the chocolate chip cookies made yesterday, and the candied nuts taken care of.  Just a couple more of the "you can do it ahead of time" stuff, then the rest is on hold until the Day before the big Day.  That is when all the last minute prep will begin.

So enjoy you Sunday, the snow, the games, and God Bless.
