Thursday, December 13

Today is the 13th day of Advent and I spent it helping get the Girl Scout Christmas party situated.  The party is tomorrow.

Our weather was supposed to be very dire and dismal today -- torrential rain, a chance of wintry mix and 50 mph winds.  We were instructed to take down all the Christmas decorations and batten down the hatches.

So far I have seen about 20 drops of rain, the wind blew about 15 minutes and there is no snow in sight. 

That is ok with me.

I haven't done any holiday baking yet but am giving some thought to those Welsh cookies.  I sort of miss those days of baking for the kids but nobody wants to eat all of that sort of stuff anymore so I just don't do much of it.  We will see, I might get around to it.

So, today was a nice, quiet day.  Thinking about all these little girls we are going to be partying with tomorrow -- they are sweet things and I will post some photos.  It should be a good time.

Well, our weather here was dismal and very wet . Now I saw on TV that overnight we're supposed to have strong winds. I was planning on baking my DH a birthday cake tomorrow but maybe not. I'll have to wait and see.

I am not able to access your blog directly. I have to go through Pom Pom's blog. I'd love to follow along with you even after this Advent period . Would that be okay?

Of course, I would love to have you follow me! I don't have many followers. I wonder why you can't get to the blog -- I will check the settings, I think I might have it private since I got some very strange comments once. I will check but yes, you are more than welcome to be here!

Yay for a party with the Girl Scouts! You're so right about the baking. I baked those rolls and then put them in the freezer. I like to bake but I don't want to gain weight, so I must have a purpose. Looking for baking purposes . . .

Pom Pom -- yes, I will be posting photos later tonight. Baking is fun but it is way too much fun eating it. There was a time when I made almost all our bread and then my husband told me to stop because he was gaining weight. He doesn't eat just regular loaf bread but let me make it and it is gone!

It's hard to find an eater for all the Christmas treats we want to make! Adam takes his around to friends, to spread the calories around

M.K. -- sharing does make it better for sure!
