I guess I have good excuses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My computer died and I had to get a new one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My daughter had a baby boy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We helped our daughter get ready to sell her house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then we helped her pack and move.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I got to spend time watching our little grandson.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought when I retired I would have lots of time at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I seem to have more time of WISHING I were home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway here it is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas time again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few pics</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my mother's first Christmas tree. A feather tree my grandmother saved</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for many years. The only things original to it are the little elf on the top and a gauzy stocking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other things she bought for her little tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The two candle holders are jars I recycled. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a collection of old word Santas. The pink one just seemed to belong here this year.</div>

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I am a bit late with my wishes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were so busy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cooking for hours for big family meals just wears me out now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think next year I need to do something easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not take a lot of pictures. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't even downloaded the ones I did take yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So here are a couple pictures of our rare December snow.</div>

Tonight my house is so quiet since she is back home now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her toys are still where she left them, tomorrow will be </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
soon enough to put them away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
until next time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she loves the space beneath this tree. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today she told me a little deer sleeps here.</div>

One more book or playing in the sand </div>

Happy New Year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was taken on Christmas Eve. Oldest granddaughter teaching the youngest to play Hello Kitty Uno. When Livvie was little it was her favorite game to play.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My trees are down. I took them down before my surgery on December 30. I wasn't expecting to have surgery but had to have my gallbladder removed. So I have been taking it easy, recovering and thinking about all the things I want to do this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like blogging more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crafting more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gardening more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Decluttering.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Visiting my favorite blogs more often.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sisters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little one spent the night here for the first time. She did great. I was afraid there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
would be tears for her momma but she is always so happy at being at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nannie's house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is this huge tree at the end of our porch. It is my favorite tree and under it there is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a space that is perfect for sisters to play in the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
secret fairy place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this picture of the two of them, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were talking and the little one was making</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mud pies out of dirt and grass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But they were too hot so she told her sister to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
be careful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Definitely going to use this picture on a scrapbook page for each of their books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I will get my ducks in a row and start posting here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to admit I seem to like reading</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Better than writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always like taking pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were at my daughter's the other day and oldest</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
grand was blowing bubble gum bubbles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Youngest grand was adorable trying to figure out what that was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore the two of them. They make me smile.</div>

I have to admit it makes me sad packing away all the decorations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have things that were gifts, things I've bought, things I've made, things my daughter and nieces made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I even have a couple cross stitch things my mom made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have my mother's first tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love having something my grandmother held on to for many years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas gets here and I always feel like there are so many things I should have done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made one kind of cookie this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried a new recipe for a cake which was good but was just so time consuming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided this past Thanksgiving and Christmas I have to streamline my cooking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was exhausted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I was also sick off and on for weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway just a few random pictures cause I like them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it is so cold here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the teens this morning.</div>

I think I found this recipe in Taste of the South.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so simple with just 3 ingredients.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made 2 batches today so have a tin full to take to a friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shortbread</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cream together until light and fluffy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup softened butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and 1/2 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pat into a 13 x 9 inch pan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bake 30-40 minutes until lightly browned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remove from oven.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prick with a fork in a zigzag pattern to allow steam to escape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Allow to cool then cut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I love the tins with the clear tops, I just got 2 but maybe I can find more of them).</div>
