Decided it was time to post...I've been keeping up with y'all, reading posts when I can.  Seems like time is speeding up as I get older...anyone else having this time warp thing??


Finished all my baking and goodie making yesterday and we got them all boxed up in the Christmas tins and I mailed them to Bart's family via UPS this afternoon. Whew, done for another year.  So today I am baking for US...have a fruit cake in the oven. Now..don't cringe..this is a great one..my Grannie's recipe and it will knock your socks off! People beg for it! Definitely not one of those cardboard things you get at the grocery store. 


Also want to make some more peanut brittle and English toffee to take with us when we head back to Virginia for Christmas.  The whole family will be at DDs home so it will be wild and wooly...just like I love it!


Bart and went to his big office Christmas gala Friday night and had a great time....the band was even good so we danced our little tootsies off.  AND..the dress that I bought months ago for this affair FIT!  Mainly because since January of this year I have lost a grand total of 53 pounds!  Maybe I'll try and post a picture of us later on.


Anyway...I hope everyone is having a great holiday season....I know the economy is in the pits..but I feel so blessed to have my health, my family, my friends, a wonderful church we now belong to, and of course...my cyber sisters!  I find it helps to count your blessings instead of looking on the dark side...because all that does is make you focus on those instead of your blessings.  So...Have a great Holiday girls!!!
