Well That Was Fun

I've been working hard on getting things ready around the house, and mostly in the kitchen, for Christmas this weekend and all the kids coming to visit! I am so excited to have them here all together!

I baked a total of five batches of these Butterhorn Rolls:

The recipe came from my grandmother. I first made them when I was in high school for 4H and the county fair. Oh they are soo good.

In my quest to get everything ready for the holidays coming up, I had an appointment to get my hair cut and colored. I haven't been able to, or wanting to, give up the gal that has done my hair for the past nine years, so I still drive the 90 miles back to the town we used to live in. Yes, I know I have a problem.

Yesterday in this State of the not so Great White North, it snowed. Shocking, I know. I think we've had something like 20 inches of snow this month. I checked the appropriate websites for road conditions and decided I would make a go of it. I got about 40 miles away, and the roads became very covered in snow. I was driving about 40 or 45 mph. UGH. I decided I just didn't want to drive the rest of the way like that, so I turned around. Well that was fun...

I called my Stylist, Hairdresser, Hair Lady.... (what the heck do I call her?) The Lady Who Does An Amazing Job At Making Me Not Look My Age. (I like that, but it may be a bit wordy.) Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, I called Deb, and she graciously let me make an appointment for tomorrow when she doesn't typically take appointments on Wednesdays. She's the best! See why I can't give her up? (Oh, no, I just checked the site for road conditions again, and the roads don't look so hot again.) (Shoot.)

Got a call from the son tonight and they are coming tomorrow night! WooHoo!

Merry Christmas to all my Internet Friends!
