Wednesday, Love my bloggy friends

 I finally finished another chart, and it will definitely be the last for the year. This one seemed to take forever, but the shop has been slow, and I have been spending money on Christmas and death. A little sick humor always helps.

Mom is here (hub's mom) and she is such a joy.  She brought her fruit cake which by the way is very good. The only fruitcake I have ever thought was good.  She also brought her raisin filled cookies, which my kids love.  We had to hide them from hubs already, and he had had his hand slapped when reaching for the fruitcake in the fridge.

Went to the eye doctor and got good news, no sign of macular degeneration, or glaucoma, which runs in the family.  Macula blinded my grandmother and my mom. But the Sjogren's is causing my eyes to have a cataract affect.  The surface is severely dry and scratched, causing me to look out a frosted, scrapped window.  So new eye drops are supposed to clear it up in a few weeks.

My stomach issues are not resolved, but I am trying to eat high fiber, no nuts or seeds, and almost all liquid diet. Are caramels part of a liquid diet?  Like do they turn to a liquid like a milkshake? Asking for a friend.

I did get 5 pairs of pants hemmed late last night it took me less than an hour, but I did do it.  Hurrah! Also got most of the things done on my list so I was very proud to me.

Here is Oliver sneaking a Christmas cookie.  How cute is that? These are the old chairs that came from Sweden, I made the cushions and painted the table and then covered the tabletop with wallpaper and a plastic topper.  It looks really cute in their apartment.  It was for daughter's birthday, and she loves it. Look at his little tip toes.  I am going to frame a copy of this for my Christmas decor.

My youngest daughter just started baking, and she called me for copies of my mother's recipe's. I was so happy. She has never done this before. These girls need to learn all these skills, so I can pass some of this baking on to them, don't you think?

Oliver eating grandma's spaghetti.  I will go get Oliver this evening, as it is supposed to snow tomorrow, and I don't want to brave those roads. Plus, I have mom and Hub's here so plenty of help.

Now that my vision is clearing, I am on my way to Lil sis' with mom to make caramels, and toffee.  I made a large batch of sugar cookie dough last night to get cold in the fridge. I dropped it at Lil sis's earlier before my appointment. Lil sis has a gas stove, and I am not going to try and make caramels again on my stove.

By the way, poor Slug cannot leave the country without Sis and I having a heart attack. This is what happens when you are declared the third twin.

Thanks for all the support, guys, I feel more myself today.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are int the negative.
