Mary's birthday

Today we celebrate our Mary turning 11.  She had her favorite breakfast, puffy pancake, with syrup and whipped cream.  The cream was actually pretty close to butter.  Betty was whipping it and had a beautiful texture.  But she had to do just a little more when the lumps appeared.  I just smiled as we ate our butter/cream.  Amazing how syrup covers a multitude of sins!

Saturday means a break from school which is nice for us all.  We have invited friends over for cupcakes this afternoon.  The cupcakes are in the fridge cooling as the butter softens on the counter.  The ants have found our clothes which is a pain.  They seem to like cool, dark places to gather.  Some sort of meeting I suppose!  I shook everything out and sprayed the bug spray, encouraging them to relocate.

We enjoyed a trip into town yesterday to do some shopping.  The market yielded some delicious pineapple and even lettuce (not very common) that actually looked good.  We got a chicken at the store which we will cook for Christmas.

Hoping that you all would enjoy a relaxing time leading up to Christmas...praying for the Christmas program at our church,  Tracie
