Cookies and Little Houses

 Windy this morning but the forecast rain hasn't arrived. Yet.  We had a shorter walk this morning because Dear Husband was going out for breakfast with Youngest Son. It's DH's 82nd birthday. Hard to believe we're getting that old.  Although with me using a cane these days as my foot continues to cause problems I feel my age.  Gretchen Joanna noticed that in the last picture in my last post I was sitting under a sign that read PATIENCE.  I hadn't noticed ( the picture was taken at Kate's place) but no one who knows me would doubt that patience is something I don't have a lot of. 


DIL is making Christmas cookies and sent over some cute samples. (Do you recognize the Abominable Snowman from Rudolf?)


 

Several years ago Youngest Son took over the job of  forming the centers for Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls.  Now they all need dipping in chocolate. That's the next on the to-do- list. These no-bake cookies are a big favourite around here and there are multiple recipes on-line for them, all very similar.


 I mentioned to someone ( I can't remember who) that I'd post a picture of  my rows of lit-up houses in the sunroom. They stay up all year around.  ( My old camera collection takes up some of the lowest shelf).


 Are you busy making cookies these days?   Have your tree up & decorated?

Whatever you're busy doing thanks for taking the time to visit.

    Incredible, how fast time goes on and suddenly the 80 are here and we are young but old, old but young..
    I always bake apple cake since September until the apples of our apple tree are gone.
