Today after work I stopped at two stores to pick up little items but they didn’t have either of them. So I came home organized a few small gifts and found bags and tags for them. After lunch of potato soup I started a batch of fudge. It was my mom’s recipe and she made it every year. She cut it in small pieces and put it in a pink candy dish. I put mine in a sealed container because there is still 8 days until Christmas.
Once I had the fudge all cooked, cooled, and poured into a glass dish, I cleaned up that mess and started on a batch of chocolate covered pretzels. Autmn specifically asked for them. That always makes a mess because the non-perils bounce all over the kitchen, and I find them for days and days.
When I walked out to get the mail I noticed that my next door neighbor decorated their house with several strings of colored lights. It looks so nice! The former neighbor was not big on decorating, so this is a pleasant change.
While I was inside making a mess in the kitchen, my neighbor Daniel was outside mowing his lawn! Then he left his two dogs outside to fertilize the grass!
I talked to Kelly for a few minutes – they have been crazy busy. Matt sets up and runs the sound and slides for events at the church and there have been a lot with the Christmas holidays. Those guys need a vacation!
My blessing today was getting the chocolate snacks done and put away. Also talking to Beth for a few minutes. I’m so glad we did!
Today is my cousin Perry’s birthday. They live in Delaware. Happy, happy birthday Perry!

TOMORROW December 18th is:
Answer the Phone like Buddy the Elf Day; Bake Cookies Day; Flake Appreciation Day (Snowflake, that is); National Tissue Day; Wear a Plunger on your Head Day – who makes these things up???; National Twin Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Feathers Day. TOMORROW – I hope someone answers the phone like Buddy the Elf! How fun is that? I baked all the cookies and candy that I plan to do – all that’s left is the Oreo Ice Cream for the 28th! Have a happy Wednesday. God Bless…
