As I'm sure many of you are, I've been busy with getting ready for Christmas. Had a funny thing happen yesterday. I was multi tasking, doing laundry, getting bills in order, wrapping presents and making shortbread cookies. Well, I got the cookies done and took one to John (the good guy was finally finishing the renovations on the ensuite). He took one bite and spit it out very quickly!!! I discovered I had put baking soda instead of corn starch (1/2 a cup full) and they tasted awful!!! Well, I'm trying again today and this time will be sure to pick the right box up and read it carefully. Anyway, that's a first for me and gave us a good laugh after John was able to bet the terrible taste out of his mouth, which he did with the last bit of cake he had from Peggy's birthday (he says thanks, Peg).
We took my Aunt out for dinner last night. The poor lady is getting so crippled up with Osteo she could barely walk last night and had quite a time getting into the van. She sure is tough, though and really works hard at staying mobile. She still goes out for walks as often and far as she can and exercises regularly and keeps her spirits up. I admire her a lot. Anyway, we enjoyed her company last night and had a lovely dinner.
Well, I guess I better get to those shortbreads - wish me luck.
If I don't get a chance to get back here before Christmas, all the best of the season to you and hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.
Love - Momster
