Sometimes I think we're all tightrope walkers suspended on a wire two thousand feet in the air, and so long as we never look down we're okay, but some of us lose momentum and look down for a second and are never quite the same again: we know. ~Dorothy Gilman The Tightrope Walker |
| The Whatsit Christmas was pretty good. I did something I have never done before. I just gave all my kids money. My husband had gone around in the car one day and asked them what they wanted and money seemed to be it. Anna Claire wanted some new clothes but she can buy those with her nice new money. So there. As far as presents to actually open goes, they always go on a shopping trip to get each other presents, as well as us and their grandparents. Also, my husband had bought them a few things and wrapped them. I just never felt inspired to go shopping because I truly couldn't think of what to get them. They have all the games in the universe which they never play, if you try to pick out clothes for them they don't like them, etc etc. I put their money in envelopes and sent them on a scavenger hunt to find it, which they loved. They finally located their money in the dryer. Ha! I amused my own self on that. Merry Christmas season to all. |
| Well friends, I haven't blogged in 8 months because I haven't had an Upgraded Account in that long and the reason why not is that I have been trying to hang onto my money. What for, I don't know, I still never seem to have much! I finally put in a few dollars to be able to look at my blog long enough to see which recipes I had placed in there. This was in preparation for Thanksgiving. I did have a little green notebook with white polka-dots in my desk drawer with all the family recipes in it - Bigmama's Jam Cake, Sara Helen's Chocolate Pie, Sweet Potato Casserole, Memaw's dressing, (poor Sweet Potatoes don't seem to belong to anybody, maybe to my descendants it will be Whatsit's Sweet Potato Casserole) but my notebook seems to have flown the coop. Ah, me. It is what it is. I had put the Jam Cake recipe in a blog entry, but nothing else. Mama had the Chocolate Pie recipe - I was impressed because she still had the original one that Sara Helen had written down decades ago. Between the two of us we recalled the Dressing recipe and googled a Sweet Potato Casserole recipe and we were fine. Whew! A good Thanksgiving was had by all. Oh, we had turkey too, which I don't like much, that's why I almost forgot it. Also Green Bean Casserole. Anyway, I thought I might as well do a few blog entries as long as I could.
