Sleighbells Ringing at Back Fence- December 2019

Image result for split rail fences christmas

 

 

Hey everyone, I can't believe it's December already.

 

I had a nice Thanksgiving meal with my sister.  I didn't do any shopping over the weekend.  I did get the tree and house decorations up on Saturday.  Yesterday I paid my respects to my Aunt (Ma's sister) who passed away before Thanksgiving.

 

My sister has today off so we are going to the movies.  It's been a long time since I went to the movies.  We're going to see a movie called Knives Out.  I think it's a murder mystery along the lines of Agatha Christie. 

 

I'll let you know after I see it Woman Very Happy

I'm taking a break from shoveling, at my age I take a lot of breaks. 😆  I won't tackle the driveway, but I want to clear a path for the mailman, and a path for me to the garage.  I did get half of the end of my driveway done, because it will only get worse with the plow going by.  The snow is pretty, but also a PITA . The tree will have to wait for tomorrow, sigh.

I just finished watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on CBS.  Still gets me emotional all these years later.

I know what the cookie is really called.  I grew up calling them feffer-newtons.

I always ate Stella D'oro brand at the holiday and they changed the recipe (it's not the same to me).

My sister bakes me feffer-newtons so I get my fix that way.  The other day I went to her house and she had little gingerbread men.  I had one with a cup of coffee - really good,

 

I'm leaving a few bags of the gingerbread men.  Not an overpowering taste and great with coffee or tea.

Thanks  Bernie! - actually sat outside for a little while today. Not real warm but very nice. Suppose to start raining any time now and continue thru the night. Also get a bit chilly.

 

Ate my bagels inside this morning for breakfast - they were - as usual - super good.

 

Chat a bit later - am hitting the sack shortly.
