Hi Chris and Holly Everything you made looks delicious. I can't believe that it is almost Christmas. We are down to the floor as far as having the kitchen completed. It looks like it won't be done for Christmas. I am disappointed but hopefully it will done in January.
What is done looks amazing and I love my new cupboards and backsplash. Our church is having their Christmas dinner tonight. I am making cowboy beans. Everyone loves my recipe so everytime we have a dinner, I get to make the beans!! John is hunting today.
we are hoping to get at least one more deer. He can get three does yet so hopefully he will be successful today. I have a busy couple of days coming up. I am going to baking cookies and making fudge for Christmas. I promised John some coolies and peanut butter fudge so I am going to have get busy and get it made. Got to run. Hope you and Holly have a terrific weekend. Hugs--John Debbie Mya and Allie
