We hope everyone is warm, and safe, from the wintery weather. i wasn't outside for too long, but was so happy to be able to go out to put goodies outside for our nature friends :)

I don't know how u all do it with the cold u all have. I hope u all have a nice evening & enjoy your shows. I enjoyed seeing your nice pictures you posted. Hugs & love FF
Hi Chris and Holly. Your goodies all look so good. I love sugar cookies and keep say I am going to bake some but somehow I never get them baked. John likes chocolate so that is what I always end up .making.
We went to Tractor Supply today and got sunflower seed and regular birdseed. Those little birds are really going through the seed since there is snow on the ground. Then we went to BiLo and got groceries. We have a major snowstorm coming next week so we wanted to get stocked up.
Still working on Katie's afghan. It is almost done. I will have it done next week. It is really pretty and I love the colors.
I am baking an angel food cake tomorrow. I love angel food cake. It is my favorite cake. I love it served with strawberries and cool whip.
I hope you and Holly enjoy your weekend. Sounds like a fun weekend. We don't have any plans yet.
Hugs to you all.
John and Debbie
Really pretty cookies and decorations, Chris! I'm glad that you and all of the bakers had fun today. Enjoy your weekend! Love and hugs.
