Day Twenty…

and raining with the temp hovering at 36 degrees.  Some areas close by here may get some snow out of this but hopefully only a little sleet and rain here.

The cookie exchange last night was fun.  Liz is such an excellent hostess.  In addition to the cookie exchange we each got a lovely hostess gift.

Inside, a mini bottle of hand lotion and on the back, this verse.

“Every friend is like a snowflake, unique in beauty and design. 

Each sparkles in a different way…some are playful, some refined.

But, unlike fragile snowflakes that fade when the sun appears,

Friends grow even more beautiful with every passing year.”

And a quote from Carl Reiner ~ “A lot of people like snow.  I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”    I really like that quote.  My feelings exactly.

My haul from the cookie exchange.

I have added to the plate of chocolate covered cherries as I am getting ready to divide all of this stuff into trays to start delivering.  I am heading out to the trunk of my car to get the rest of the goodies.  Of course I will save some for my son.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and the sun is shining wherever you may be, at least in your heart.  Stay safe and be happy!!

  4. That's some festive eatin' you've got going on there! We are planning sort of a different set of things on the menu this year. It's no problem for me with my wife being from another country where I've spent more than one Christmas. I like to change things up and this looks like a year for it!

  12. What a cute gift!! Love the poem. And the cookies look great. Boy! Some people had some fancy packaging. But the cookies still taste the same no matter how they are packaged. You inspired me to start a batch of butterballs. We made them every year when I was a kid and I made them every year when my son was little. Hope I haven't lost the knack--LOL! ;) Happy Wednesday!
