hi I am back and cake is iced and ready to take into work tomorrow as that is my last day before Christmas/New Year holiday.
Ah-ha! Think my monitor's resolution may be a bit off, cause all I saw was a dark hole above. Thanks STARWISE
I think poor Spot got all tuckered out from putting up the Christmas directions on the outside of the house. And he made a santa claus sleigh pulled by the three blind mice. And put a spotlight on it. The neighbors love it, Jonny. (You sure you don't want him back?)
w, ping!
It is only a little thing but I think you will enjoy it.
*sigh* I miss our "excursions" through DC. LOL!
Dang! I meant to drive past the National Christmas tree your last night in town. Sorry I forgot. Did you get to see it?
You're welcome . . . Now I'm off to finish wrapping presents while watching "Bells of St. Mary's"!
Night all!
Hmmmmm, didn't work!
That picture on a wide screen is going to be a problem LOL
By the way the package has arrived thank you very much - I have put it under the Christmas tree or rather next to it.
***Thank you for tonight's Dose, Jonny. I love the way you put the President's words under various pics!***
So do I. If I miss any of the day's news, Jonny gives a recap. And, hey, that's what the Dose was originally meant for.
I love the way you put the President's words under various pics!
Thanks :) I figure most of us aren't going to read the full transcripts, so I just post a few highlights here and there. The Reader's Digest version ;)
See my later post it arrived yesterday but with posting the dose I forgot to thank you = bad snugs :o(
Here is my attempt - need to get larger sandwich tins though mine are only about 6 1/2 inch so I put it into larger cake tin an 7 3/4 and a 8 inch which are the largest I have. Our cake tins are not quite as large in Britain to get bigger ones you need to go to a specialist store or buy second hand on ebay.
Sooooo, is it Gates or General Pace? Do you think Gates has enough sway to turn General Pace???
Yep, I found something perfect for him. He kind of gave me a hint, without really meaning to.
I miss our excursions too! Lol we had so much fun. Nope, I didn't see the tree. It's okay, though.
Just out of the oven
Filling in middle
Decorated with Merry Christmas on top
Looking forward to the photo. Cub
No I have not got round to opening the package yet but I will as I peaked in the corner and saw it was wrapped - thank you so much.
