Today is another cold day---- nothing new about that now for a few months I guess. I mailed my cards today and did a little Christmas shopping.... for those odds and ends.... always odds and ends I guess.
My next door neighbor called me yesterday and wanted me to come over today to decorate her Christmas cookies with her.... you know I just laughed.... I am an awful neighbor but I don't even want to think of making Christmas cookies this year much less help her with hers. She has Grandchildren that live part time with her and also a son and his girlfriend.... My kids have used my recipe and make their own cookies now and since Leo can't eat any I am just going to pass on that this year... I guess after making thousands of those darn things I have had it... Instead I will make some good bars and fudge and have a nice supper for them all on Christmas eve. Last year 2 of my kids came over with some cookies they had made...The lady next door said to do it for penance..... I do plenty of that already. She is just wanting me to go over and visit her I think but I have so much on my mind I just can't right now.... I guess I just want to be left alone.... sad isn't it but thats how it is right now..... I will work on it.
So you have a nice day and take care, Sandra

Nice that you have a neighbor that wants to visit though. I don't bake anymore either. My children do the baking and bring some when they come...I did find some gingerbread cookies at the store that taste like homemade so I bought some of those! Keep warm ! It's been terribly cold here . 'On Ya' - ma
Hiya, popped over as I said I would!!! No, you need to concentrate on your own bits and pieces - would she come over to you to help with yours? Besides, if you are anything like me I cannot cope with other people in the kitchen with me helping with the food....I don't mind someone sitting in and chatting, but not under my feet while I am cooking....Rob knows to stay away as does the rest of the family if they are around!!!!
That reminds me, Dan was over going through my recipe's and picking out the ones he wanted to make for his family for Christmas. I said I'd type them up for him. Well he looked and looked for the cookie dough recipe and then finally asked me to help him find it. The reason he couldn't find it, is because I always bought the cookie dough at the grocery store. I have never been much of a baker or cook. The only way I would help anyone decorate cookies, would be if it was my dear sisters and we were all together on out special day, or my own children or grandchildren. I got your beautiful card today and it brightened up my day so much. I even hated to open the envelope because it was so pretty and the stamp was so cute. I missed out on going to the museum with Dan and his family. Maybe we can make that out monthly trip, I hear it's fun. Oh, oh, here comes Anakin to let me know I'm talking too much.
I used to always make 7 layer bars for the neighbors but since I can't eat them anymore I am just not motivated to make any. :-)
