Time's Up!!

I have been working as hard as I could to get the house dressed up for Christmas before I leave for Galveston. I've come down to the wire and time's up!

The den is done!

I'm liking it.....

For over a week this was next to being the scariest room in the house!

The sewing room was the very scariest!

I was glad to move on!

I think I skipped showing the laundry room.

This was done right before moving on to the den.

Yesterday I worked on the sewing room and again today so that by 10:00 tonight it was as good as it's going to get.

Only room in the house without a Christmas tree!

After the holidays this room is going to get some hefty repair work!

Today I made a batch of Fruitcake Cookies......

and I used Peach Flavored Whiskey because I was out of rum!

I didn't even think about borrowing some from Stephanie next door!

I used real butter in this batch. Sometimes I use butter flavored Crisco.

And I baked a Chocolate Fudge Crack Cake!

I don't usually eat a lot of sweets but this cake was delicious!

I sliced it and took a tin up to the staff at the home where Reaoma was.

Tonight Pam and I went to the monthly Family Social Evening.

I met Agnes's son and daughter in law and visited a minute with them and with Helen who lives in the room next to where Reaoma lived.

The lady in red playing the guitar is a 92 year old resident here and did the entertainment for us tonight. It was a bittersweet visit....

The Dallas Cowboys played tonight and WON against the New Orleans Saints!

Even Louis Dean was excited! He's a fair weather fan!

Now my time is really up!

Summer will be here to pick me up at 5:00 in the morning and I still need to pack.

I'm gonna have to sleep fast tonight!!
