Merry Christmas

To all, travel safe, enjoy the family, Merry Christmas.

Christmas Cookies

Sunday evening, C, A and I made the dough for some of our Christmas Cookies. We made honey cut-out cookie and chocolate crinkle doughs. Of the Honey dough, there is apparently some local thief that likes the dough so much that we need to make a double batch just to get enough cookies. Same should happen with the chocolate crinkle dough as well but that did not happen.

On Monday, while A went to visit a friend in town for the holidays, C and I baked the chocolate crinkles. After finishing this portion of the baking, C posted this to help her sister:



Note there is no reference to me as I pose no threat. I am not a chocoholic.

Christmas Picture

Many of you will be receiving a picture in the mail of A and C, so I thought I would post a different one.



A made a 3.64GPA for this past semester, her best semester yet, even with harder classes. C's grades are not all in yet, but we will find out soon, but it will be better than a 3.0

Merry Christmas

Snow and Ice

Well, it did snow last evening. We got about 4 inches, but the ground was way too warm for it to stay around too long, so it is melting from the bottom up. Right now, there are about 2 inches of snow on the ground, covered in ice as it is drizzling then freezing.

Here is a picture of a figurine in the front yard.



It will be more of an inconvenience than anything for the rest of the day, but only a minor hindrance.

They are predicting Snow

and significant ammounts, 8-10 inches overnight tonight. If it happens, it will shut down the world here for 2-3 days. We shall see.

First Update: It has begun snowing her, but just flurries. A bit west of here in Winston Salem, it is snowing ans sleeting. It should be interesting. If it gets pretty outside, I will post pictures.

Update 2: The snow is about to end and we have about3-4 inches on the ground. It is about 10:15PM and the warm weather is pushing north, changing things to sleet, but all precip should stop in the next hour or so. I will take pictures in the AM when there is light.
