Double digit
12/20/05 5:45 A.M.
10 F, Cloudy, W wind 3 mph.
Good morning,
What a difference this morning. The temperature is actually double digit this morning. First for a few days. The wind is also down this morning. Maybe I can get the trash burned for a change. Seems like fall is ending with normal temperatures or there abouts. The next couple of days actually above normal!
So we have some gingerbread men and other ginger cookies in our larder for Christmas. More will be coming. Margriet is having a ball trying to figure out which things to make first. I help some by saying, "All!" She didn't think it was funny. She does have plans to bake a lot more and I am not complaining.
I finally got all of the "easy" Christmas letter written and envelops addressed. Now come those that I need to look up or ask folks for addresses. I found there are a lot that have disappeared. As the cards come in, I check to see if the return address on the envelop is on my list, if not I put it there. One problem is the folks in the Netherlands have the habit of not providing a return address on their mail. Don't know what that is about, but expect there isn't much return mail that way. Guess we had better pick up some stamps too!
We didn't hear from our computer guru, so I wrote an email to him yesterday afternoon. Sometime after midnight, and long after I was in bed, I got a return email saying that he had gone home early and was some sick. He would be in the shop this morning and email me what is going. Do hope, Margriet especially, hope we will be able to pick it up again today.
Margriet found some books of my Mom's, actually periodicals, about homemaking from 1939. She was reading some of them last night and every once in awhile would laugh or chuckle. She was reading about all of the "modern improvements" of the time. Like actually having a window in the oven door to watch the turkey roast. Folks must not have had too much to do at that time to sit and watch a turkey roast for several hours. Anywho, she was having a good time and did learn from them. Hope see will try some of the recipes too.
Time to get the day a-going. Christmas tree cutting day along with Bible study this morning and a church council meeting tonight. Busy.
In Christ My Saviour,
