Want some toffee?

My friend Mrs. Mom told me about some super wonderful toffee over at Swamp Suburbia so I had to go over and take a looksy. Now, I am a toffee snob. I hate to admit it but I am. The stuff you buy in the grocery store or the 7-11 just doesn't cut it. This toffee looks delicious and I hope I got in under the wire to get a free box to try out! I know if I have one bite of it I will be hooked and want more, my jeans are screaming NO but I am just not going to listen to them! So if you want to check it out click on the Toffee box on my sidebar!

We have had tons of rain and ice the last couple of days. Parts of Maine are still without power especially near the coast. Luckily this area hasn't had a problem but I sure feel bad for the thousands that are going into their second and third days without power. We put in a generator last year and I love that thing! After the ice storm of 1998 we were without power for a week in the middle of the winter. Not fun. We finally moved into a hotel until it came back on but I spent days here at the house with one of the fireplaces on to try to keep warm. It wasn't warm but took the edge off. Now when the power goes off the generator kicks on within a minute or two and voila' we have lights and heat again!

We had our Sunday School Christmas program last Sunday night during the evening service. I love seeing all of the little ones up there saying their parts and singing the Christmas songs. T and D did well and Funsize did the piano music for everything.

One of my sisters did a part in a play and did a really good job. She always likes to tell people that she is my MUCH YOUNGER SISTER as she is 7 years younger! haha! I was the baby of the family for 7 years until she came along and I wasn't thrilled. Then two years later my brother came along after four girls and we all were really excited about that! I think I was supposed to be the boy. I was a tomboy, does that count? Now we all live in the same town and are very close as we are with the rest of the family.

Last night I was going down to the barn to feed little stray barn kitty and it was VERY dark. The dusk till dawn light on the front of the barn is on the blink so it makes it very dark down there. Due to my run in with the irate hunter earlier in the week I was a bit nervous going down there by myself, the wimp that I am. I got about half way down and a huge buck let out a big snort and scared me half to death! I turned around, went back to the house and sent Hubby down when he got home from work! He said sometimes when he walks over to his Dad's next door the same thing will happen and take him right out of his boots practically! So is the life out in the country, but I would rather it was a buck then the nasty mouth irate hunter.


Got lots of decorating done yesterday. Both trees now have ornaments on them and lots of my snowmen are out. I will take pictures soon but I left my camera on and the battery is deader then a doornail so it is charging. I tend to do that quite often. If you want to see some fabulous decorating go over to Ruth Ann's at Warm Pie Happy Home. She has such a nice touch and decorates her whole house with tons and tons of stuff. It must take hours and hours but is sure worth it.

Guess I'd better get back to working on Christmas cards. Also need to run up to the stable and see the boys as it was too cold this morning. I found socks with horses on them for all my stable friends so need to get little bags to put those in and hang them on their horses stall door.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and enjoy this season of joy!
