I am never sure where the time goes, as I get older, it seems to go faster. I remember my mom saying this to me, and at the time being a young teen I was thinking, well I wish it would be that way for me, because time seems to go by slowly, lol...Now I know what she meant.
With the Holidays almost here, I want to take a minute to think about all my blessings and new family members that I just am so grateful for. No matter the circumstances they are all part of my tribe. For my new little (Bean) soon to be here, your GG loves you even before you are born. To my children, my greatest gifts of all, and my grandkids whom I adore. To my husband of 52 years, you truly are my best friend. I am so blessed.
I truly hope all of you have the most wonderful Christmas and New Year. I know some are not and you are in my prayers.
The snow is soon approaching, love it when it snows for Christmas. Here is one of my favorites for the Holidays to make, so easy and fun to do alone or with family, and they are yummy too:
Merry Mice:
what you need:
a bag of chocolate kisses
cherries with stems
a bag of chocolate melts
a bag of sliced almonds
black frosting in a tube
start by taking all the kisses out of the foil. then drain the cherries, put them with stems on a paper towel so that the juice is absorbed.
melt all the chocolate wafers in a microwaveable dish until thoroughly melted. Then dip the cherries and part of the stem in the chocolate melts, and place on waxed paper to harden. After that is hard, dip the candy kiss round side into the remaining chocolate melts, stick it onto the cherry, and add two ears of almonds in between the kisses and cherry. put in the refrigerator until all is hard. Then add your eyes with the black frosting and a bit on the nose, or you can add any small red candy for the nose if you prefer, put in pretty boxes to give to friends and family, or just eat them yourself.
