Good, Jake!! 
That first one is funny, Falcon! Second is really cute!
Morning everyone...or evening!
Yay! It's snowing! We actually got enough snow to completely cover the ground. The last time I can remember that happening was in about 1991 or 1992. It's supposed to keep up through tonight. Hopefully there'll be enough left tomorrow to make a snowman!
or maybe....
but I am sure it will be....
That car looks like a mess! I don't know how they'd get all that off.
The snow is really pretty. The scenery around here consists of red sand and mesas. It's nice to have a little bit of a change once in a while.

That would be pretty, Falcon. BUT, I don't want any just yet!
In the UK all the sales (which traditionally start after Xmas) have started early. No snow yet though unless you're a Haggis Eater (Scottish)...

There seems to be a lot on sale here this year too.
Because of the coastal waters, we normally only get cold weather here in January and February. Then, no sticking snow to amount to anything. An occasional flurry, but I'll be somewhere else before that happens! However, the snow pix is beautiful!

That IS a beautiful picture.
I've been a vegetarian for a long time and don't know anything about cooking a ham. Maybe Mory could help. If you want a good recipe for pumpkin pie made from scratch I can give you one.
There's still snow on the ground. It looks like a good day for listening to Christmas carols, drinking hot chocolate, and making a snowman!

Is your ham cured? There are so many kind...fresh, honey cured, salt cured, sugar cured. If it is a honey or sugar cured ham, I don't boil it first. I score the top and stick it with lots of clove, bake at 350 F. for about 15 minutes per pound. The last twenty minutes I glaze it with brown sugar, 1/2 stick butter, and a tablespoon water that has been brought to a slow boil and turned into a syrup consistancy. Then place several pinapple rings on top and marchino cherries if you like. Bake for an additional twenty minutes.
Morning-evening everyone! Going to be another 70 degree F day here in NC.
Falcon, here is a pretty falcon! Not as nice as your's but pretty!

The bird is beautiful. It would be nice if there were more of them around. We have mostly hawks and eagles, and there's a Red-tailed Hawk aerie around here somewhere.

I found this card and thought it was nice. Kind of stirred old memories.
Lol, Mike!
Gosh, Christmas is about here! I need to start making candy and things I can do ahead. I haven't really gotten into gear this year....maybe my gears are wearing a bit!

Serenity/Shirl/RSMiller/Mrs M - I wish she'd stop doing that!

She's having an idenity crisis!
Maybe we can help Mrs. M. through this identity crisis. She seems to be having trouble deciding on a name. Does anyone have any suggestions?
We really need an evil smiley icon on this board.

It's ok. I feel at peace with this name. I liked my Mrs M, but this is nice.

Hehe, well nice is always best!
Must be a full moon.
Falcon, that is sooo cute!!
I have a list of friends I know, all written in a book,
And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look;
And that is when I realise that these names are a part
Not of the book there written in,m but deep within my heart.
For each name stands for someone who has passed my path sometime,
And in that meeting they become the ryythem and the rhyme
And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this claim,
I really feel I am composed of each and every name
And while you may not be aware of this special link,
Just meeting you has shaped my life far more than you can think:
for once you've met somebody, the years cannot erase
The memory of a pleasant word or of a frinedly face
So never think that Christmas cards are just a mere routine
Of names upon a Christmas list, forgotten in between
For when I send a Christmas card which is addressed to you,
You know you're on the list if folks that I am grateful to.
For you are part of all the folks I'm glad that I have met,
And you are one of those dear ones I'd rather not forget
So. whether I have known you for many years or few,
In some way you have had a part in shaping things I do.
And every year when Christmas comes I realise anew
The biggest gift that life can give is meeting friends like you.
So may the Christmas spirit continue to impart
It's richest blessings always to keep within your heart.
