That’s a Texas winter right there my dear friends. It will stay pretty mild here for most of the winter, with a few days really cold and a few days unseasonably warm. This is the view from my kitchen window where I spent part of the afternoon making oatmeal cookies for my book club that came over last night. Sorry I don’t have a fancy recipe for you. I used the recipe from the Quaker Oats box and it was just perfect. It’s the simple things that are the most rewarding.
These cute little guys are my vintage Santa and Mrs. Claus salt and pepper shakers set. They were given to me from my Mema. They sit there and watch over me as I attempt to create our own holiday traditions.
Book club. A good evening with great friends. Using books as an excuse to get together. Shhhh… don’t tell anyone our little secret. Sharing hopes and dreams. Using this night as a recluse. To reinvigorate and rejuvenate the soul. To discuss world issues and solve them from our perch. We are reading The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards if anyone wants to read along with us.
