Glad you had a great time, Cheryl - except for that last part Also glad you're all home safely.
I wanted to let you know that my MIL is improving. Yesterday they moved her to a regular room and today the plan is to release her to a rehab facility. She will probably be there for a couple of weeks, so my FIL will need some meals and a little education on how to assemble meals from supermarket cooked foods.
We're also going to make some springerles and pfeffernüsse - traditional German Christmas cookies my MIL used to make when DH was growing up
Taxy, we're driving so we're going to take my KitchenAid stand mixer
The recipes are from my MIL. They call for things whipping eggs for 20 minutes, then later mixing in the flour for half an hour! I never made them till DH gave me the mixer and I still need him to help me roll out the dough. Springerles have one very stiff dough! The ladies who made these by hand back in the day have my utmost respect.
Thank you so much, ladies.

GG, I'm probably too late but want to wish you a safe journey again, and a happy anniversary to your MIL and FIL.
SC, good to hear you made another flight safe and sound.
I pick up my grandson Tyler from school every day now since his mom got a new job. We have such a good time, and IMO there's no better babysitter than a grandparent. Today was the first day in a week that the weather was nice enough to walk to and from school again. Searching the 'net now for ideas for Christmas treats to make with him after school - he would love to help decorate cookies.
Cheryl I forgot. Have fun with your grandson this holiday and really enjoy watching him become soooo excited about Santa coming and all that goes with his idea of Christmas.
That goes for all you grandparents. Let the fun begin!!!
Beautiful flower and lovely sentiment, creative.
DH brought home a rotisserie chicken for lunch yesterday, even though we were getting a lasagna meal later. I de-meated it, and now the carcass is simmering with onion, celery, carrot, and herbs. It's nasty, cold and very windy out, so a good day to make stock.
