So they canceled school yesterday???? And then today, this... This is the most snow Portland has had for a very long time. Melissa and Maggie's roses are snow covered. Our yellow roses are still fairly intact even after the last two days of freezing temperatures. Sam and I are going to weather the weather and go out to finish our Christmas shopping. Yes, I gave up on the completely handmade stuff and will buy the last 3 gifts on the list. Local businesses, of course. Sharon made the most perfect peanut butter blossom cookies (the ones with the Hershey Kisses) last night and that is what I ate for breakfast. With a monster cup of coffee to even out the sugar, of course. Today I am making pistachio brittle and peppermint bark for Carson's teachers. We are excited for Aunt Lenora to come to Portland on Christmas Eve. We haven't seen her since Norma's 70th birthday bash. She is the only one in Sharon's family with the "gift for gab"--just like me. Although I am working on Norma.

Aunt Lenora is looking forward to visiting. It will be fun to spend Christmas with kids. And of course, gabbing with Kim.
Actually I'm getting quite gabby. I just needed some coaching and someone to practice with.
It's good that you're practicing. Sharon usually just rolls her eyes and goes back to reading.
lenora- she even snorts with the eye rolling now!!!!
Sharon, I'm with you--not gabby. We're more the strong silent Monninger types. It's fun to listen though!
