[mass55th]

I've been divorced since 1979, raised my two sons alone, and have lived alone for many years now. I enjoy my solitude and tranquility. I've got to peel potatoes in a little while for dinner tomorrow, and will also make some chocolate chip cookies. I decided not to do my regular cut-out cookies or the candy cane cookies I usually make due to chronic back problems. My oldest son is coming in for dinner tomorrow, and will stay overnight. My youngest son lives in Indiana, and will be having Christmas dinner with his wife. I've been doing some reading this afternoon and evening. I usually have five books going at once, and the last one I'm reading from is titled "A Tudor Christmas" by Alison Weir and Siobhan Clarke. If I get a chance later in the evening, I'll watch the programs on my DVR, and work on my family tree. Tomorrow I'll be busy cooking a turkey breast, and a standing rib roast, plus making mac and cheese. I made the dressing today, and only have to put it in the oven tomorrow. I send most of the food home with my son so he doesn't have to cook the rest of the week.

I hope everyone has a Bigly Merry Christmas, and a Happy and Healthy MAGA New Year!!

Raised the four alone, they are gone and tomorrow two of them and some of their bio relatives (they were all adopted at birth) and a stray or two are coming to dinner.

Listened to Steyn’s Christmas Program streaming this afternoon and made an apple-cranberry pie, cranberry relish, sherried mushrooms and did five loads of laundery.

Tomorrow’s menu: dips and veggies, then Rib Roast, my special lemon rosemary rice, broccli, sherried mushrooms tossed salad with balsamic vinagrette, Hot sourdough bread Chocolate cream pie, and or Apple-cranberry pie with ice cream.

just finished a good book called The Dearly Beloved.

It was very nice.
