Holiday Puzzle
So this puzzle is not quite as “holiday” as the others but it is in the spirit of the season – maybe the winter season. I finished in four minutes and 48 seconds. How about you?

Last Minute Gift
I know – because I just got out of the house yesterday to really start my Christmas shopping – that we all are looking for a last minute gift. This one is a tad bit weird but my step father loved it when I sent him one a few years ago. Puzzle in a Jar… Continue reading Last Minute Gift
Holiday Food Memory
I grew up with my paternal grandmother. One very strong Christmas food memory was Kate’s Two Flavored Fudge – recipe at the bottom of post.

One year,… Continue reading Holiday Food Memory
The Four Day School Week

The Snow Day in Upstate NY

I am a touch concerned about this, the second of this school year, that my kids will have today. When I woke at 2 am –… Continue reading The Snow Day in Upstate NY
Christmas Creations
I told my neighbor Colleen, when asked, that I wasn’t making any Christmas gifts. Well, sorry Colleen, I fibbed. Alyice has done these wonderful bottles on her website – alyiceedrich.com. I read her information about the process. Of course, I am a bit behind and didn’t have any glass containers. I did, though, have some leftover… Continue reading Christmas Creations
