    Yeah, off to Grann of 6 to play in her sandbox. (your an excellent sharer.) Although, can I get a rain check for summer. I am such a wus. I hate the cold. (Yeah, I know, what a wus.) lol, I don't even own a jacket.

    Frogquilter, I am so glad that you liked the things that I picked out for you. It was so fun putting your package together. I used to live in Tacoma when I was very little, but then moved back to Yakima & stayed here ever since. Take care of yourself & stay well.

    mmmh, macaroons sound yummy grann, I'll be over with coffee to join you. What a wonderful (now considered old fashioned) thing to do. I just know your cookies are probably enjoyed by all those wonderful people. That is the one thing I miss and love about a smaller town. Is there anything I can bring you?

I don't eat chocolate, but I give cookies to the mail carrier, the trashmen, and will take a big plate up to the post office for all to enjoy. This is a small community with only 8000 people in the whole mailing area, so I figure they will enjoy having them to munch on while sorting the mail.

    Thank you CindyLuella,That sounds like how my family used to be. But, now so many are gone and spread out. (I wish I had that problem) But, this year, I get to share my daughters in-laws. And I'm sure they will more than fill the "crazy" longing. Because they sure do have there quirks. But, I'm going to thank god I have this opportunity to join family and overlook the crazy. Have a Happy Holiday. And, I know you will enjoy your crazy family holiday anyway.(what is it about the holidays, they either bring out the best or the worst in us.)

    I always say it's a good thin my family can't get along. There's so many of us, that if we ever all agreed on anything we could take over a small country!

    For those who are facing the dreaded relatives... May you be a duck this holiday season and let it all roll off your back!

    Millie, you POSTED! I saw that gorgous stack of fabric in person. I think I can help you fill it out and we can come up with something fabulous, to make with it. It's like your SS channelled your taste in fabric to a tee. And I know you love to crochet in front of the tv. I know, you could make a nice needlecase for your crochet needles with the fabric. Or a table runner.(LOL) It's a good thing I told you we opened on the 11th or your little package would still be sitting there waiting to be opened. I see I'm going to have to update you a little more. (LOL) Well what are friends for. (tease, tease) I'm sorry I was slacking on the job. But, But, someone got me addicted to these turtles. Do you know anyone who fits that description. (LOL)Ack, turtles on the brain.

Well, (tease, and a big grin) I'm a toucher. I love the feel of fabric. I tell you what, I'll bring the chocolate and we can visit.

    Well, if you come today, you can help bake gingerbread houses. I have 2 baked and 5 more to go. These are not little houses either. They are about 8-10" tall, so the kids have lots of room to use their artistic talents on them. They aren't fancy either, just one end with a door and sides with windows and chimney on roof. I melt hard candies to make stained glass windows. One year I forgot and the kids had a fit. So I MUST do that this year. Little 7-year old DGD called me yesterday to thank me for sending that quilt to Vermont in her name. Her mother is the wacky one. I did NOT get a thank you from DIL though. She was very cordial, is going to get lots of candy and goodies for the sleepover. DGD is so excited, says she will bring her sleeping bag. I may be exhausted from baking these things, but to see the kids having so much fun together is well worth it. They grow up so fast......
