She was very unhappy not to be able to open the last box. They put her gingerbread house on top of it and that pleased her

So good to see TCB posting!

Yes it is.

Thunderstorms are hovering over the city. And I went out shopping in them.

Closing show vibes for ChasSmith and company!

I found the See's Candy store with little problem. The greater problem was choosing what to buy.

I also made it to Trader Joe's to stock up on radishes before Noche de los Rabanos arrives.

Headlamps are whole again, thankfully (and thankfully, that's not too difficult on this car).

And though it seems like I just got up and it should be - oh, maybe only about ten in the morning? - it's 2 pm and I have but three hours before getting ready to go. I believe someone stole half a day from me.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #68 on:** December 18, 2021, 11:09:36 AM »

Thanks for the closing night vibes and for the heads up re the Noche.

I don't know what's done on that day, but we do love our radishes here.

I got a box of truffles. And some double cocoa hot chocolate. And a Santa stocking stuffer.

On the radio while I was out, the NPR had a great program of music from soundtracks related to Christmas. I heard two selections from The Preacher's Wife, one from The Bishop's Wife and, best of all, some Victor Herbert from Babes in Toyland.

Jane · « **Reply #73 on:** December 18, 2021, 11:33:24 AM »

OK. The stocking stuffer and hot chocolate sound good. I am not a fan of truffles. I love their chocolate buttercreams.

Good afternoon.

I'm baking cookies to give the children at church tomorrow.

I had a very good phone conversation with the project's chief funder, and all seems good. This is a relief.

We are only 30 mi from home, plus the time it takes to stock up on essentials at the market.

Laura · « **Reply #80 on:** December 18, 2021, 12:24:59 PM »

I'm being incredibly lazy. Mostly stars, candy canes, and snowflakes. They are the quickest to do.

Laura · « **Reply #81 on:** December 18, 2021, 12:25:43 PM »

I'm glad to hear that Elmore. You must provide those kitties the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep. Must go pick up packages, although am fearful of the lines.

I'm out of powdered sugar. How can I be out of powdered sugar?

Oh yeah. Baking.

That sounds like me. I know I bought four pounds of butter. Where did it go?

I will be scarce, as there is much to be done today.

Will try to get back later before I have to get ready for our
