    Ok, ladies, back to the kitchen................just  steamed 4lb of shrimp.........made "olive salad", onion dip, cocktail sauce, and garlic green beans with crushed tomatoes, the rest of the menu, is Roast beef, Roast Pork, mac and cheese, potato salad, pepperoni and cheese platter, chix filet,. antipasto, corned beef, cole slaw, oh God I'm getting ill just talking about it..........................still have to attempt my apple butter cookies............................really don't feel like baking anymore, but the kids will come over tomorrow night and say  "what Mom, no apple butter cookies this year...........................so  back in I go....................will drop by a little later.................hugs..........

    I need a nap just reading about what you're cooking!

    I'm trying to get my kids to clean the house.  Wish me luck.  I don't hear any vacuums humming.

    Sorry your luggage is too small, Sheila.

    Cat lady - too funny.  Now you've got me wondering if my old Christmas sweaters are ugly or not.  I liked them.  Maybe I have no taste...

    Just got back from a boat trip on Nick's boat, it is too cool to swim all though the water is so beautiful.  Beautiful fish also, we went out to the Vixon which is a ship wreck a few miles out and through bread overboard and these huge white fish came up and out of the water to eat it.  We stopped at an Island that Nick's cousin owns and tied up the boat to have lunch it was sooo nice and serene.  I posted the spiney lobster tail I had on FB at the Lobster Pot in Hamilton.  It is alot milder than Maine lobster.  But still delish.

    Hugs to all!!

    did ya see my drawing in the sand on Horseshoe Bay!

    Sounds awesome Deb!!  Enjoy!

    Ducky, I did the same thing today.  It's martini time now.  A cellar full of boys and I am now making chicken nuggets for them.

    Ugly Christmas sweaters are all the rage!!

    I am so happy to be home for Christmas - it feels warmer and more comfortable than I thought was possible.  I just want to be here and enjoy my home, my family, Christmas, Hannukah, and the brand new Shelby.

    Warm wishes to each and everyone of you - you mean so much to me.  I appreciate the support you have offered during my diagnosis, my treatment, my DIL issues, the birth of my first grandchild, the lawsuit, the displacement and finally now, the move home.  I am very lucky indeed.  Thank you to all my BC sisters.  

    Love,

    Diane

    So glad you are home for Christmas, Diane. Hope every last second of it is wonderful!

    I hope the washer fixing guy shows up first thing after the holiday and fixes it right away, Sandy. Wish I could do your laundry for you.

    Don't forget to eat today, Sheila! You need your energy to play with your little angel. Sounds so sweet. Hope RPOC has mellowed.

    And nothing is easy - DIL arrived and said my home was toxic and she couldn't stay and poison her daughter.  DS explained that we had used no VOC paint and that there was no toxicity.  She and baby are upstairs while rest of us are downstairs feeling awkward.

    I am so sorry, the drama never ends does it, what does VOC mean. Toxic, are you kidding me, well unfortunately you see how things are going to be...Try to enjoy yourself...Question, if you go downstairs doesn't your clothing have the toxicity on it?  Does she realize that when she takes that child out that...oh why bother you know where I am going...again sorry, try to have a happy holiday anyway..

    Linda have a good holiday!!!

    Shiela.....are you home?

    Chris, again take care of yourself....

    The house "seemed" less toxic to DIL when we started opening gifts so she was able to join us. DH made that prediction early on :)
