New Years Resolutions

Post your New Years Resolutions!

I am still pondering mine (like everyone, eating better, losing weight and exercising are options).

Its almost 9 am here, and I am the only one up. I am using Scott's computer because my laptop bit the dust. We ordered a new one for me, but it won't be here for a week. The house could fall down, but I know with Scott, I'll always have a computer - he makes sure of that.

We took our tree down in the first five minutes we got back from the beach, but the ornaments and knick knacks have to be packed up neatly today.

I'm craving an Orange Julius, so maybe we'll take a road trip to get one - they have them at Potomac Mills.

Where are the truckers?

the AldenCaelenBailey/ChevalleyWhatever holiday!

Sing with me:

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
One family
Two dachsunds too many (sorry)
3 aging daughters
4 family feuds (not really)
5 original Aldens
6 grown up grandkids
7 pipes a piping!
8 maids...where were the damn maids.
9 mochatinis
10 tons of food
11 ribs on the roast
12
......

Can't think of 12, so maybe it's up to the loyal readers to adjust...

Merry Christmas from Eric and Catherine!

Friday, December 21, 2007

Hi Catherine and Eric - good to see you posting here! I am looking forward to the big holiday as well and I think I have everything ready to go except for some last minute baking. I made a double batch of fudge yesterday - now if I can just keep from eating it! Tomorrow I will make a cheesecake (you all had better eat it!) and a pecan pie. I will make a lemon merangue pie at Jane's on Monday for Scott and Jamie! Can't transport a lemon pie safely!

I used my new crockpot cookbook yesterday to make a chicken dish. I thought it was very good, but Grampa wouldn't eat it! As usual, Sandi gobbled it up. Why do I bother. All he likes are spaghetti and hot dogs, not to mention the occasional peanut butter sandwich.

Speaking of Jane -- Hoping she and Mark will arrive back home tonite or tomorrow. We will be going to Virginia Beach on Sunday and will stay until Friday. We have to pick up our prescriptions at Fort Lee and they won't be ready until Friday. We save a ton of money getting our medicines there.

Have to get offline now -
Love to all and see you soon,
Gramma

Well, I have been procrastinating long enough..

Hello to everyone! I can't believe Christmas is in 5 days! I think I am ready for it to be over but Eric and I are excited to get to see everyone.

Eric and I started looking around at houses for us, Michael and Zsuzsi. Just wanted to see what was out there. I think it will be fun all of us living together.

Speaking of Michael and Zsuszi, we are about to go visit over there for a little bit. Mark and Jane-drive careful and we will see everyone in a few days!

Love,
Eric and Catherine
