Lovely Creation

My friend, Lynne, stopped over to deliver this lovely Christmas arrangement for me.

The mercury glass container is awesome.  The greens and berries are from her  yard.  The pine cones in the arrangement came from the state park at Lake Michigan.

A dear, dear friend indeed!  We've renewed and rekindled our friendship this year.  Hurts have been healed.
Such a wonderful blessing for me!

Christmas Cookies

Every Saturday, we have coffee and donuts at my Mom's house.  Today, we mixed it up a bit and had coffee at Maggie's.  After coffee, we started in on some holiday baking. 

From this to this.....

An all time favorite....Pecan Balls

We all were in on the fun.  Don, Phil and Mom unwrapping 48 kisses for the Peanut Butter Blosoms.

Lucy was there to help also!

Grandma had fun rolling cookies in sugar.

It's amazing how much we got done with all these helping hands.  We left Maggie on her own and what did she do?  Made another batch of Pecan Balls and left out the flour!  She needs us around.

Richie was happy he was home working on the camper, Lila Jane!

How is your baking coming along?

Love, Babs

Take A Moment

Please....Take a moment from the holiday pressure and soak in some relaxation and reflection.




A fire, warm blankets and wine!

Christmas Dance

My nephew Jacob attended Mona Shores Christmas Dance last week. He was excited when he was telling me about his red bow tie. He said he would be the only one wearing one, but he didn't care. He thought it was neat. Way to go Jake.... I applaud you for being your own person!
