One of my Princesses is coming over tonight to make a cherry pie. We were going to do it Monday evening, but with not feeling well, and not wanting to inflict my cold upon her (assuming that is what it is), I asked her to wait until Wednesday. And that is today. My "cold" has gone from sneezing and a really bad runny nose to this morning where it has settled in my chest and I'm getting the occasional 'cough'. Ick. Oh well, this too shall pass. Right now I'm going from hot and sweaty to cool and comfortable. What's up with that? Office temperature never suits me anyway. It's going to be one of those days. Yesterday I wore a sweater most of the day. Partly to hide my fat belly (I know, do something about it if it bothers me) and partly because I was chilly.
So tonight she and I will be getting together to bake cherry pie. She wants to make it for her boyfriend for his birthday - which is today. Sadly, I am making her wait a day to give it to him, but that is the way it is. I gave her the recipe over the weekend (although I found a much easier one yesterday and plan to use that one) so if she really wanted to give it to him on his birthday, she could have done it herself. But I like her reasoning for waiting to do it with me. "so we can spend some time together." My grandchildren know exactly what to say to melt my heart.
I love the memories we make at Christmas time making cookies and Christmas mice and whatever else I can come up with. I can't believe how quickly (yet, not really quickly) this year is flying by. It seems that way because of additional expenses and money going out faster than we can make it. And I'm concerned about what am I going to do about Christmas. I'm not sure how it will work out, but I will work it out. At least my boys are fairly easy - cookies, salsa and chips. :-) And I love making it for them. And, as I'm learning some of the grandchildren like the salsa pretty good, I might be able to work that with the older ones as well. It sure helps to give them something they "want" and not just another t-shirt.
Anyway, I'm thinking about making a couple extra pies to bring in to work tomorrow. It's a simple recipe and I can easily get them done. But our priority is getting the pie baked for the boyfriend. Of course, if one of my boys stops by on his way home from work to pick up his birthday gift, there might be a pie about ready that he could take with him if he wanted. Depends really on when we get started on the pies, and when he finishes up his work. They might coincide.
Well, it is time for me to get to work. Running a little late this morning getting out of the house, then ran into more traffic than usual. Got to work a little later than usual, which is really no big deal. I believe that God allows me to run late so that I could miss any 'could be' accidents that I would either be involved in, or caught in the traffic. Every morning we pray for my safety to and from work (as well as my son whose job is to travel all over the valley) and my other children and grandchildren as they travel. Got my two reports out already and here I am. But it is nearing 8AM and I do need to get to work.
Hope you have a great day.
Blessings!
