I am still feeling under the weather but my brand spanking new washer & dryer arrived today so the hubby is setting them up as I type. Tonight I have to finish wrapping presents. Tomorrow is cleaning and cooking, x-mas eves dinner will be prime rib, potatoes, au jus, asparagus and parsnips...Christmas day will consist of coffee with Baileys, opening presents and me in the kitchen making a traditional Christmas dinner....turkey, stuffing, gravy, potatoes, turnips, veggies, cabbage rolls and perogies. YUMMERS!!! I hope to be feeling better by then.

Merry Christmas everyone, and a belated Happy Hannukah to our Jewish friends. Hug your family close to your heart and enjoy just being with them for the holiday season.

The snow is nice.....I did not realize how much I missed that.....yes, in Central America christmas is fun, they put lights on the palm trees and have blow-ups with christmas themes and blast out christmas reggae tunes and such and bake delicious goodies but that being said it was awfully difficult to describe to folks just what our environment here was like during this time of the year.
Oh well, having some champers and peach juice right now, getting ready to start prepping stuff.....thinking of my friends here and elsewhere....will spend time on the phone later. Money well spent as far as I am concerned.

My roast beast is in the oven, I am cooking it low and slow. I still have to prep the veggies. All is well. The kids are super excited for Christmas and looking forward to building a snowman with Daddy this afternoon.

The texture of teh snow is perfect for a snowman.....absolutely perfect. When I walked down to Metro meats this morning to get my home smoked bacon for "Or-dervies" I saw bunches of kids out already with their crazy carpets.....covered in snow of course and laughing.....these are the things that engender excellent memories of the farm and that one snow drift that would reach almost to the top eaves of the barn....man that was a good suicide crazy carpet run.....yes, one may hit a cow right?

We just polished off our free turkey from one of the Hutterite colonies we deal with, and washed it down with a 24 of beer (courtesy of the boss) and hand-rolled Cuban cigars.
My job has its perqs!

Our holiday plans have been put into turmoil.... I just got word that my brother died in Mexico a few hours ago. We haven't received many details yet.
I'm still in shock actually. Can't sleep.
