December in our home
Son Bobby noticed our home needed some TLC on the outside. He offered to power wash and paint all of the outside and he did! It looks great too. He is same son that helped us tile our floors just about a year ago. |
By the comments from people that have been in our home, they seem to either really like this tree medley or they think it is just bizarre. |
Gavin and Elizabeth
having a little Christmas fun
and in case I don't get another blog post done before Dec. 25, Merry Christmas to you all with love from Rhonda and Jeff |

Happy Birthday Mom!
Friday, November 18, 2011
the little stuff is at the top of my thankful list
Some cookies I baked today for a baby shower that Nina is hosting tomorrow.
The new mom is doing this new baby daughter's room in hot pink and zebra.
Nina saw some cookies similar to these on Pinterest and thought they would be perfect for this occasion. The Pinterest version used peanut butter cookies dipped in pink sugar.
The new mom is a RD so I am sure she follows the no nuts eating recommendation to avoid passing on allergies to the baby.
So I baked a double batch of thumbprint cookie dough from Betty Crocker,
and tinted it heavily with rose food coloring.
The center is a Hugs flavor of the striped Hershey kisses
I don't think I have ever made such hot pink cookies before, these turned out delicious though!
The December issues of Country Living and Martha with their very pretty Christmas covers have arrived but I will just wait until Dec. 1st to read them. |
Sweet little Gavin and Elizabeth this morning just a coincidence that they both wore Eskimo Joe shirts |
Jimmy came for lunch and Elizabeth was so excited to see him. Gavin would of been excited too but he had already left today. |
I am thankful for little things like a lunch visit from my son,
sweet grandchildren,
fresh cookies,
a funny cartoon,
and new magazines
there are lots more things I am thankful and this is just the things I am thinking of right now
I added a few kind of new blogs to me on my sidebar.
One is the fun activities of an American family living in Europe.
One is a homemaker in New Zealand who follows Pinterest and actually makes something she pins everyday, then blogs about it.
Another one is about thrifty things made at home and
the one is called Life at Kilkinney Glenn

November update
2 wreaths made by my brother, this wall leads into our kitchen and faces the dining room. keeping it real - can you see the trash can? |
plastic canvas candlestick Pilgrims and Indians I made 10 or more years ago The turkey salt and pepper shakers belonged to my grandmother. |
more turkey S&Ps, that will actually be used. I don't care if these get handled but I would be very sad if something happened to my grandmother's set |
my father in law painted this turkey and it is hanging by our front door. |
