{February Happenings}

  Well our February Florida weather is cool in the mornings, warm during the day and cool at night. Which to be honest, suits me! But, we can't have perfect weather that suits us all can we? This weather has had me in the baking mode though. I saved a few apples from our mountain trip and baked an apple bundt cake to freeze for a Sunday dinner sweet.  Decided to whip up a batch of Kitty's shortbread spritz cookies. They weren't as pretty as hers but oh they would melt in your mouth. Be sure to pop over to see her recipe.  https://www.kittyskozykitchen.com/2025/01/impossibly-easy-ham-and-swiss-pie-and.html#more I had some left over deer venison and decided to make a Venison and Penne Casserole. Was a hit with Marty and his dad. But, we love all things venison around her neck of the woods.  One day I had some broccoli that was going to go bad if not used so whipped up a little comfort soup. Broccoli and shedder cheese soup.  My oldest granddaughter Raygen bought h...

{Merry Christmas Everyone}

My Skinny Tree in a Sleigh I have sure missed blogging with everyone but after I returned from New York with my family it seems that I have been full steam ahead. I hope that you all are ready for Christmas. I must say that I was on top of things this season. All my decorating and most every gift was taken care of before Thanksgiving this year. YAY! Of course I have had tons of piddly things to do but have enjoyed the holidays for sure.  We had such a blast in New York. This was my first trip and I am so glad that I was able to spend this time with my three daughters, three oldest grandgirls and my sweet friend Kim who is also my daughter Melissa's motherinlove. We left on a Tuesday morning and I got home on Saturday morning around 1:15. We did so much in a short amount of time. I can't even begin to tell you all that we done. Two of my daughter's had been to New York so knew the ropes pretty much. THANK THE LORD they did because this country ...

{It's About To Be Christmas Y'all!}

Isn't this just the sweetest picture ever? My daughter snapped this of her two girls right after they put up their tree and it just melted this Nana's heart.  I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We surely did. As always we have such a big gathering with Marty's family at my Fatherinlove's home each year. Lots of food but most importantly, a sweet time of fellowship.  The day after Thanksgiving me and my two youngest daughters with three of the grandgirls hit the Black Friday Shopping. My oldest daughter and her family took a trip to Universal in Orlando, Fl. so she wasn't with us. Honestly, the crowds weren't as bad as I had anticipated. The lines were a little long but hey...what do we expect when we go out Black Friday shopping, right?  Of course, we ended our day with Starbucks and that makes everything okay in my book! Most of you know that I LOVE my little corner chair in my dining room and use it for so ...
