Poem Artwork

Eating right now, Snickerdoodles,
They are cookies of a kind,
Cinnamon & sugar, my diabetes WILL mind,
They are my treat for this “holly day”,
Eating sugar & drinking milk,
I wouldn’t have Christmas any other way…

This was the first year out of sixty one,
That I stayed in my home,
Usually surely I am out on the roam,
But it rained here all day, there was no sun…

So at home I did hide,
Not even to the shore did I take a ride,
It was different to at home stay,
I watched TV, read a book, & ate a sandwich & soup,
Didn’t really want all that hard to prepare goop,
Not to forget eating my snickerdoodle cookies,
So from my normal Christmas I did this year play hooky.

It will take me a couple of days to get over all the excitement that Christmas bestows on this humble home. God bless you all and Happy New Year 2016

So, where's my snickerdoodle? Did you eat mine, too? Geeezzzz. We got out last evening for the candlelight service at church--Lessons of the Nine Carols. Wonderful service.

We hid at home, too--Scott worked on his stories, I knitted, played games, watched a movie (while he slept), and knitted some more--got 6 scarves done. We haven't even stepped outside cause it's been raining off & on. Oh well, get to drive home in the thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully, I will beat the all mad rush to get home. I won't be passing any malls so should be smooth driving.

Santa found us last weekend and Remi is excited because he found her new home. Take care, sir . . . Bobbie & Scott
