A few days ago I got antsy about not having done any Christmas baking. So I stood too long while making shortbread. Its a good thing it is the kind that needs to rest a few hours in the fridge before being cut into rounds for baking. I didn't have any decorations (red or green sparkles or cherries) to put on the tops and didn't want to ask Old Man to go out to the store again to get some.
Then yesterday I again stood too long making cranberry sauce from scratch, as my contribution to the soup kitchen's turkey dinner/lunch tomorrow. I had signed up to help but this is the most I can do except for peeling 20 pounds of carrots in the morning. Old Man promised to pack it all over to the church hall in the morning.
#3 is a big orange and lime green balls tree, with a few lime green ribbons, that would work well in a few of my Crone friends' decor.
It is always interesting to hear your opinions. My favorite in #6 was the wishing stars tree as I have a feeling it was a fund raiser for a children's charity so had the names of donors on the stars. I could be wrong. It might just have been people's wishes for our turbulent world.
I think #1 is beautiful, so that's my choice today. #3 needs more decorations, but I like the colors.
ReplyDeleteI hesitate to say it, but my knee might be a tad better today. I am going to be vigilant about icing it several times a day, as that seems to help. I am sitting here now with ice on my knee. Let's both continue to take care, and let the men be happy when we are back 100%!!
I vote #1 It is just so lovely.
ReplyDeleteI rather like the green paper ones!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your leg's getting better, Karyn. Doesn't seem to have slowed you down that much though!
Everything I have to do from dressing to ablutions to cooking and cleaning takes 3x as bloody long. I am starting to get ticked off with slowing down.
