MAE ALL...

Mick...glad the bunnies are friends again, taking away the hideaways in the garage appears to have been a good idea. LOL Ah...thoughts of losing the boss in a snowbank. LOL Beautiful weather here, 43F. Another quiet and calm day a work. We're having an Xmas lunch tomorrow for the bridge group so I'll be busy eating and playing cards. This week can't go fast enough.

Pauly...the tread is a little more expensive to replace as opposed to just slipping in an insert. I really should buy 2 pairs at a time when I find a good fit. Hope you had a good Tuesday.

Lav...did the weather smarten up at all? We are not expecting to have any more snow till after Christmas. YAY!

Decided I wanted a roast for supper, got to build up the iron, so I'm off to the kitchen. Have a peaceful night all....PPQP

Greeting Abbers,

Suddenly there’s not enough time in a day to get everything done that I want to get done, haha! I think I just want to do too much!
I enjoy putting on the christmas festivities around here, especially now that I am unemployed. Maybe I’m just moving too slow, Lol

PQ, you deserve a weather break to get your shopping & whatever done. Glad you got one
I think I will be making perogies this weekend & freezing them for Christmas. If you want to spoil folks, here’s that cookie recipe: https://polishhousewife.com/kolaczki/print/6795/

Pauly, I made a small batch of fig & persimmon filling this morning so I could use up the rest of that cookie dough, yum.
Remember when I had the stress fracture in my left foot about 6 years ago? Yeah, it still hurts sometimes in certain shoes, ugh.

Mick, I loved your recording this morning. What a special way to wake up, haha!! Thanks!
We do have quite a bit of history here in good old PA. So does Sam in VA. I bet he could find a lot with a metal detector.

Hello to Cyn & Det, hope you are both well.

OK, the gingerbread boys want to hop in the oven so I better get moving.
Have a good night all!

Lav

Had a dream i was making cookies in a dirty bowl but fir some reason I didn't care in my dream, gave hubs a cookie and it had hair in it-gross! Dreams can be soooooo weird! Much love to all and wishes for great BF Wednesday

Good evening Abbers,

Wow, we went to leave greenery at the relatives graves today & it was cold!!!! We stopped & had lunch with our daughter who happened to be off today. Stopped at Costco for gas & a few things on the way back. Mixed up the last batch of cookie dough & heated up leftovers for dinner, haha! No wonder I’m tired.

So PQ, the rain finally went away, the sun came out today but it got much colder. We drove thru a snow squall on the way home. I was hoping see a SNOWbow afterwards, Lol
Sorry for confusing you about a package delivery. My stupid mail program has been so screwed up since their big update earlier this year. I hope they get it fixed soon
Hope your day was good!

Pauly, please do not send me any hairy cookies, haha!!!

Mick, I did wtach some of the impeachment hearing when I got home. It’s just freaking amazing that a Democrat can stand & list the crimes & the evidence of such committed by #45 & a Republican can stand there & say there is no crime, no evidence, this is a witch hunt, haha!!! We all know he’s guilty as hell & needs to pay.
I hope your bunnies have fun on their vacation & you as well

Hello to Cyn & Det.

Have a nice night everyone!

Happy Wed night ABeroooskies!

it's been cookies and muffins and various treats around the joint.. a dangerous but fun time of year. This is really the first year of my life where I was
in an environment that celebrated the holidays. My folks thought is was a waste of time and had religious objections so I was always that weird kid that
didn't get Xmas. I'm actually enjoying the silliness and formality of it all.

new backpack? oh my.. I do love outdoor gear. I have a camera backpack which is groovy but it's too big for hiking. Santa has hinted at a new one...

I'm having entirely too much fun with my new phone as you can see if this works:

* video * Shared album - Xring007 - Google Photos

no new snow yet on the mountain so prolly won't be playing in the snow again just yet, but keeping and eye on
the weather for the next opportunity. Better be doing my leg exercises!

crazy chicken salad last night with walnuts, apple, feta cheese, radishes, tomatoes and a zillion things...yummo.

Pauly, dreams are indeed pretty wacky... I mostly like mine at least

Lav, so glad you don't have any broken bits. in fact, the whole crew seems to be in pretty good shape? I haven't done anything stupid to
injure myself in months... amazing!

did some really cool experimental photography Monday night and sent off to have 4 of them printed. I'll be exhibiting in 2 galleries come Jan. wow!
so much to learn about the printing processes and the gallery world. I'll be there for the showings to answer questions etc. so exciting! and a wee tad
nervous of course.

going to spend the day tomorrow with my uncle and one of his kiddos. love them all so much and looking forward to it.

things at home with 13yo are much more trying...groan. the lack of maturity seems absurd but I'm not a parent so I just have to have my shields up often.

PPQ shoe shopping? it takes me weeks and a dozen store visits to decide on shoes. ... I'm hopelessly picky. ack.

well, hollies are nigh and not a drinking thought in my head. So very grateful.

Sam still out there somewhere?

that's a wrap for now.... gnight loves and be well.

Mae everybody, Det your video made me laugh! Is that youre real accent or is it a part of the space age persona? Mick, when are you two leaving? Excuse my typos i got rid of spellcheck cuz it was pissing me off but now i know why it's there haha! Lav yep it was a dumb dream, no hairy cookies for any of us! PQ, are you getting some time off for Christmas? I get part of Christmas eve, Chrimbo then back fir Thursday then off Friday, my body is gonna be confused haha, Cyn how are you? Check in please, much love to all and wishes for a great BF Thursday?? Already?

[Mick]

hiya all..Im here but really busy internet getting fixed ...hopefully no problems any more

[porqoui]

MAE ALL...had a great day yesterday with xmas lunch and cards in the afternoon. Left with everyone else. LOL Things winding down at work, it's been a nice enjoyable week. Will be a short day tomorrow and then I'm off for 2 weeks.

Mick...I'm not surprised you're having internet problems with the weather you've been having. Hope they get it sorted soon.

Pauly...yes I get 2 weeks and boy am I looking forward to the break. I was going to say don't bother sending any cookies my way either. I've been having some strange dreams too.

Det...loved the vid, you certainly are getting into the spirit of the season. 13 can be a tough year but you'll get through it.

Lav...I don't think I've ever seen a snowbow. LOL You sure sound busy with all that baking, glad you were able to just have leftovers. And by the way....HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

Time to wind down and relax. Have a good night all....PPQP

Greetings Abbers!

Nothing like freezing your a$$ off on your birthday, haha! Just got back from dinner & a walk around Longwood Gardens in 23 degree weather! The entire place is decorated beautifully so it really is worth a little discomfort
YB got me a bird feeder to attach to a kitchen window & a 10 pack of instant hand warmers - I am sure he did his shopping in an Amish hardware store,. Haha!

Det, loved your video & I’m seeing either a movie or a stand up comedy routine in your future
The best way to survive a 13 year old is basically ignore the rudeness & reward the good behavior. That’s how I got thru it with my kids. They’re pretty smart & will pick it up fast
Good luck with your photo exhibit next month!!!!

Pauly hope your day was fabulous!

PQ, sounds you did have a fabulous day!

Mick, hope your internet gets well!!!!!

Hello to Cyn & anyone stopping by tonight!

Have a nice night!
Lav
