Winter Solstice

Almost 40 degrees today, what a relief! Frank got out the bobcat while I was at work and cleaned up the driveway. We've been wading through snow for awhile now but it was just too cold for him to be out in the bobcat. We survived.

Today is Winter Solstice, I guess that means it's the shortest day of the year. There are probably way more scientific explanations but, for me, I just like the sound of it. 

Working on finishing the To Do list before Christmas. Today it was pick up groceries to make my part of the Christmas Eve snacks. I planned on making krumkake but I can't find my iron. You know you have too much stuff when something like that happens. Hopefully it will turn up soon. Fudge is another thing on my list. Nobody else likes making fudge, it can be finicky. I don't mind and for whatever reason I don't seem to have issues with it. Calico beans, Ham, and other sandwich stuff is on my list as well. Angie did all the baking this year and Milo wants to make little smokies and meatballs. They have quite a list too. It's a busy time of year....
