Little decoration.....

My only Easter decoration...   The beautiful Egg, painted by one of my daughters~in~law, years ago.  I have taken very good care of it, for a long time.  :-)

.

.

And here are just a couple of pretty cups...    My decorating has really fallen by the wayside.  :-))))

It's that time of year, again....... :-) :-(

Yes, it's that time of year again.  When we are inundated with adds for Cadbury Easter Eggs.

.

Oh my!  Oh sigh!  Look at that delicious, creamy, chocolaty goodness.

.

And they are on sale, everywhere!!!  It's very hard, to avoid them.  It's so easy to be able to buy a couple here, and a couple there.  >,-))))

.

When I was growing up, a Fanny Farmer Easter Egg was always gotten.  It has been a long time, since one could find a real Fanny Farmer Candy Store.  That is one of those childhood memories, which have flown.  -sigh-

.

(What ever happened to Fanny Farmer Candy???)

.

Fanny Farmer Easter Eggs were not mini.  And they weren't huge either.  They were purrrrfect.  :-)  As anyone old enough, to truly remember them, can attest.   :-)

reading.... eating.......

one christmas cozy...   one ya book, by a favorite author...   

enjoyed the cozy, with a big country home in the uk, a varied group of guests for the christmas holidays, snowed in of course, and a murder, also of course.  ,-))))

nearly done with the "the fixer"....  as i said above, i really enjoy books by jennifer lynn barnes.  yes, they are ya.  also yes, they are intelligent ya books. 

.

-sigh-  i know i shouldn't even show a pic of a home-made fruitcake.  because everyone goes "aaaahggggggg" at the very word "fruitcake."  but if a spice cake mix has candied fruit and walnuts added to it...   and then, it is pricked all over, and rum is poured on it, often...   it makes a nice little treat in the evening, with a glass of port or harvey's bristol cream.   :-)

.

and this cake mix, was gluten free!  so i can eat it too!  which is even nicer.   :-)

Cure for "no snow"

Temps in the 50's!  Imagine that!  Obviously no snow, in our future.  So I get my snow-fix, by watching Hallmark Ch. Christmas Movies.

 

.

And baking a Mincemeat Pie, while the Hallmark Christmas movies are on.

no snow this year...

no white christmas here, this year.   but it isn't as if we have not had plenty of them.  yes, it's odd.  but i don't see cold enough weather in our forecast.

for a while i was hoping for snow for christmas.  but now i think it best to forget it.  be glad that it is still so easy to get around.
