For presents to open this morning each of them got a library tote bag (from my stash of ALA swag) containing a book-themed gift.

Nice!

Yesterday, I stayed home while everyone else went to early morning church and we all went to the Christmas Eve service at 4pm. In between we put the orMaments on the tree, some of which are breakaFUL. I love Charlotte-speak.

Now starting a new Michael Caine movie, Play Dirty. I hope it’s more entertaining.

Still working our way through the latest season of The Crown.

Also finished Hitchcock/Truffaut. At times it was very good, at others it was very superficial.

Play Dirty.

Is it play dirty or play misty? I can never remember.

singdaw · « **Reply #219 on:** December 25, 2023, 06:02:33 PM »

Or play it again, Sam.

I don’t think I had ever seen Denholm Elliott that young in anything else.

Play Dirty is a WWII film.

I also need to make one more cherry almond tart.

Today Gram and Grandad were the first ones up, but the girls and their parents soon followed and Santa lived up fully to Charlotte’s expectations. They gave us an “experiential” gift, too, complete with the matching tote bag - a Costco membership.

The butter hasn’t softened.

Continuing to enjoy the holiday artwork. Thanks singdaw!

Christmas evening greetings! We have had 3 very busy days with Charlotte and Hannah and their parents. It took Hannah until Saturday morning to decide Richard and I were OK.

Hugs. I'm sure Charlotte was thrilled to have you there.

Christmas with young children is definitely the most fun.

Yes it is.

You are welcome, DR Freddie.

I have read online about various schemes to quicken up the softening of butter.

On Saturday Rob, Charlotte, and I went “shopping” for our family gift to them. You see, because they live outside the city limits they have to pay a prorated fee (based on the value of their home) for public library privileges. We went to the library where I paid their annual fee and Charlotte checked out one book. For presents to open this morning each of them got a library tote bag (from my stash of ALA swag) containing a book-themed gift.

I love your book-themed gift while at the same time shocked they have to pay a fee to get a library card. I guess we were lucky that our Ashland library was a county library since we lived outside the town.

One of which involved pouring boiling water into a tumbler, then pouring it out and covering the stick of butter with the dry, heated tumbler.

I've never tried it.
