Afternoon all&#33; Been busy today, I just realized Christmas is only 2 weeks away and I hadn’t started the cookies. I copied all the recipes and put all the dry ingredients into ziplock bags to be mixed later. I did this last year before we went cruising so I’d have a head start before we got back. It worked well so decided to do it again. Also did the refrigerator cookies as they will stay 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Waiting on the corned beef in the crock pot to finish now. <br /><br />Jackie sounds like your storms were early today. It was pretty awful here early this afternoon, it’s cleared up but the cold is coming with it, I can just feel it. Glad to hear Tania has had some relief by seeing the baby and knowing what they are dealing with. I continue to pray for her and her child.<br /><br />James congrats on you weight loss. Hope the house works out.<br /><br />Cheryl are you adjusting to the new hair? It was wonderful that you were able to donate it. Can’t wait to see the picture&#33;<br /><br />Sounds like lots of diets are planned in January. I’ll be joining you all when I get back from my cruise.<br /><br />Ed glad to hear Roe’s treatment is all set. I pray this does the trick and her health is restored.<br /><br />Falina hope your friend can get your laptop fixed.<br /><br />Sue hope you got your shopping done.<br /><br />Nice to see you Carmen.<br /><br />Andrea glad you were able to check in. Hope your problems clear up.<br /><br />Sad news today…..they found a child’s body in the woods…….they believe it is Caylee Anthony. I sure hope so…….it will be wonderful to put this all to rest for her family and for our community at large. <br /><br />Well off to shut off the corned beef……Howie will be pretty happy with that tonight. Have a great evening all&#33;<br />
