It is just too early for this bitter cold! It is not even winter as yet. Every night is colder than the last. 10 degrees when i walked dogs at 2 a.m. even they did not want to stay out long. With this intense cold, I can only hope we are getting it now, and will have a more seasonal, reasonable winter in January and February. well ....i can Hope!
New bed coming today and bedroom must be cleaned and in order for the arrival. I still need some nice flannel sheets too. With the clutter control and letting go of things that have not been looked at or noticed for a few years now, I have been making trips to salvation army with donations. best to load the car as i have a container of stuff and get it out before i change my mind. i know i am not the only one lightening the load, as there is a line of cars making donations every time i stop in and i had stopped 3 times this week.
I spend an enormous amount of time thinking about what i would like to do. In reality that is about all i have time to do... think about it. One of the things i have been thinking about is baking. My mom would spend a day or two, with or without sister/sister-in-laws help and bake. i mean bake up a storm and have 3 huge trays of cookies to make up smaller dishes for friends and neighbors. As youngsters, My brother Vince and i would play the run around the table game. After each lap, we would reward ourselves with a cookie.... until mom caught on and ended the game.
My mom went all out and baked many many different types of cookies. i tend to bake what gives me a large yield and just 2 or 3 types. I will have to look up my favorites and post. After all what is a holiday without desserts and cookies are just perfect for holiday sharing.
