Good morning, all! Well, after all of last night's adventures, who knows what today will bring? Russell Warner sent me an update last night, which I read this morning (sounds like Gertrude Stein!), that our friend was seeming much better when he left her hotel, and how heartened he was by all the kind people who helped us last night. Who said New York's a rude city?
DRGinny, I hope your entire weekend was filled with birthday treats.
DRBen, thanks for sharing all of Baxter's handiwork. He's such an amazing artiste! When am I coming down to see your tree?
TOD: marzipan always meant "Christmas" to me, and peppermint candy canes. Because we were rather poor when I was growing up, we always had lots of ribbon candy from the five and dime and nots of unshelled nuts: brazil nuts, pecans, walnuts which we'd help my mother shell and she would put them into chocolate fudge she made for the holidays. She and her sisters, when together, would laugh about taffy pulls when they were young, but we never made taffy.
