Well we have 4 more days till Christmas. On Friday I will drive to Boston and pick Rob up, Shannon will be going to NH to her other grandmothers with Kristine.
I have made 7 different flavors of chocolate covered cream fills--peanut butter, maple, orange, blueberry, blackberry, coconut, and raspberry. We are doing without strawberry, mint, and lemon this year. Baked snicker doodles for Jim, brownie bites with peanut butter frosting, sugar cookies, also have peanut butter fudge and chocolate bark with peanuts, white chocolate bark with pecans. Have to do up a cheese and pepperoni platter, swedish meatballs, mini dogs in BBQ sauce and not sure what else. For dinner we will be having a ham, though I found a new recipe for a pasta dish for Rob (he's a vegetarian again) with spirals, tomatoes, creamed spinach, and garlic. It looks yummy. Scalloped taters with cheese, homemade rolls (if I have enough time), and not sure yet about the vegetable.
Today I mailed out the last package--sorry Jody, Meghan and Aaron--it may be late! Stopped up to work and delivered Christmas ornaments to Tessie for Julie's grandchildren, baked the brownie bites and made frosting for them. Did dished left over from yesterday and more that I created today. Other than that Sammy and I have taken it easy today.
The dentist tomorrow--YUK and then my annual checkup with the PCP on Wednesday. Gonna be a busy week.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
My prayers are with all our service men and women every where.........may they know they are loved and not forgotten.

Karen,
Oh my gosh, girl....you've been busy. Now that it's Christmas night, I hope you are resting now, and maybe enjoying a bit of that candy you made which sounds YUMMY by the way. Enjoy having Rob there and I hope you see Shannon soon.
Rest - OK?
Merry Christmas, dear friend.
Hugs to you and Jim and thank you for your prayers for our troops. This family appreciates them.
Love,
Sue
