Hi **oopsie** , you probably already know this; when I was going to be donating, a friend told me to eat a fair amount of raisins for a few days in advance, also a nice steak dinner doesn’t hurt.

When I was in TX, they called me a Yankee. I didn’t understand (and didn’t particularly care for it) as Yankees are from New England. But then they called the guy from Oklahoma a Yankee and explained that anyone not from TX was a Yankee. Must be the same in WV.

Nice day. Lectored the REJOICE reading. Home to gather up everything I was taking to Daughter’s to make Christmas cookies. Daughter served a fritatta and bacon for brunch. Then we made the dough for M&M cookies and for PB Kiss cookies and put it all in the refrigerator to chill. We took Bella for a walk then it was time to form the cookies and pop them into the oven. To get Hubs into being part of the action I had him trace the bottoms of the cookie tins on wax paper and cut them out to line the tins and also to cut a new brown paper bag open as after the cookies are out of oven and the cookie sheet is set to cool on wire rack for several minutes, I use my Mother’s mini turner to slide the cookies off the sheet onto the paper bag to finish cooling.
