Last week was a rough week for me. Don’t get me wrong! I was having a great time. I was doing holiday stuff and being with friends. But I knew that something felt off, wrong. Something was not as it should be. If you had run into me on the street shopping or just walking… Continue reading Holidays Can Be Rough
Have to admit, this is a tree from a different year. This year’s tree has its beaded garland and a few ornaments on it but is barely started. Add to that the cards are not ready to mail and I’m dog sitting starting Saturday and this holiday season is going to be hectic. I’m… Continue reading Holidays

It was my mother’s recipe and I use to hate using it as I am not a wait for the dough to… Continue reading Cookie Dilemma
Two weeks ago, on the first Thursday evening of December, the Johnson City Business and Professional Women put on the annual Johnson City Holiday Parade.
I am posting several of my favorite holiday recipes. Once you see what is in this recipe, you will understand why I only make it at the holidays. With us in the grasps of the holiday season, I know, as well as you all do, that a lot of celebrations center around food. In that… Continue reading Two Flavored Fudge
Back in 2007, I wrote a post on Black Friday. At that time, I swore I was finished with shopping but did end out going to purchase one item at a home improvement store so not as bad as a toy store but still. I also made some mention of Cyber Monday and Black Friday… Continue reading Black Friday
