These are one of my favorite Christmas Eve treats. We'd have these for dinner at my grandmother's along with other goodies when my father, my grandparents and my aunts family would gather to open presents. We'd also have punch to drink.

60, Rain, and a Chance of Lightning
Wet Sunday. Wet Monday. Will it be a wet Tuesday? Only time will tell. Today's forecast called for temps in the sixties, but I didn't see anything about rain.

Random Thoughts Friday
Busy day at work. The day before doctoral application deadline. Printing and working up files for review. I'm in shock by the shooting in Connecticut. I cannot understand what would make anyone do this to innocent children.

Raining Cats and Dogs
I think the heavens opened up and poured buckets and buckets of hard rain down this morning. I could hear it even in the shower this morning as I got ready for work. Thankfully it has subsided to a drizzle by the time I left. It picked up and has pretty much remained at a… Continue reading Raining Cats and Dogs
Sunday Sundaes
Today at church the timeline was revealed on when construction would begin on our new facility. Thirteen months from now construction will begin. The prospect of being in the new church on the new property is very exciting. The church that I went to when I was growing up rebuilt from the old building to… Continue reading Sunday Sundaes
