Hi Chris and Holly. So glad that you had such a wonderful time baking those cupcakes. They sure do look good. I am thinking if making a fruit cobbler for tomorrow. I have some peaches in the basement that I canned a couple of years ago that I could use in it. Your cupcakes look really good. I love making cupcakes for special occasions. Somehow cupcakes are just easier to handle at a special function than a cake is. I am sure that Alyssa really appreciated your efforts.

So glad that Holly enjoyed Thanksgiving with your family. I know how your family celebrates the holidays and birthdays and I am sure she is looking forward to celebrating Christmas with your family It is so nice of you all to welcome her into your family. I am sure that she really appreciates all the effort you all make to let her feel at home with you all.

John is deer hunting today. Deer season starts today and will continue for the next two weeks. I hope that he gets a deer. We have been fortunate so far. John gave us the deer that he got in West Virginia earlier in the week. We cut it up last night and today I am canning the meat. We did some ground meat that we are going to make some deer bologna out of when we get a chance. Probably will do it just before Christmas once hunting season closes. We both really love deer bologna and can't wait to make it. It s a pain to make and John has to help me make it because I am not strong enough to mix all the spices into the meat.

Pittsburgh Steelers playing Cleveland again this week. It could be an interesting game given that two weeks ago when they played there was the fight at the end of the game. I hope they all behave themselves but the game is in Pittsburgh and they may have problems with the fans. I know they said on the news that there will be extra police at the game. Then Holly's Ravens play John's 49ers this week. That will be a really good game.

Gotta run. Almost time for the meat to come off the stove. Have to hunt up my jar lifter so that I can get the jars out of the hot water. Take care and have a great weekend.
