O yes, it’s Christmas: I woke up this morning to find a bright red Mercedes in my garage! My son and DIL are here!! This is one of the rare holidays that all my children are home and it’s one of the best holiday’s I’ve had in a long, long time! Adding to the special events is the post from my dear friend, Amy Bowllan. Amy is one of the few people posting recipes that I’ve actually met in person. She blogs at Bowllan’s Blog on the School Library Journal site.
Her FB posts this past year took us through quite a challenging year confronting Amy and reminded us what a strong, determined woman that she is. Her ‘recipe’ is so appropriate for Christmas Eve, one of the most hurried days of the year! O! Please remember to come back tomorrow for my last post of the season. Be safe. Be warmed. Be at peace. Happy Holidays!
