I have made Chocolate Chip Walnut cookies, Sugar Cookies, Peanut Butter and they have all been eaten during the black out....so I am gonna have to start over and maybe there will be school next week so the kids can bring them to their teachers instead of eating them!

I like the french toast casserole but after 15 years....I would like to try something new! Here is my French Toast Casserole Recipe: 6 cups bread cubes 5 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1/4 cup white sugar, divided 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon margarine, softened 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons of maple syrup Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8x8 inch baking pan. Line bottom of pan with bread cubes. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, syrup, salt and vanilla. pour egg mixture over bread. Dot with margarine; let stand for 10 minutes. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Bake in preheated oven about 45 to 50 minutes, until top is golden

Every year I have done the same old thing so it is well getting old...I always make a french toast casserole. This year I would like to do something differant... I need suggestions please!

Nope I never asked the boss but if I had a friend at work I have asked them what the company did for them their first Christmas Bonus. The company I work for does $100.00 the first year and then it goes up $100.00 every year until it is a whole week salary without tax then stops. Hope that helps.

Well we make Christmas eve a visiting night we grab a slice of pizza grad our gifts that need to go to the people we are visiting. We stop and see friends at 2 different houses eat and enjoy our time together on our way home we get a cup of hot chocolate and got see the Rhema Lights. Then home we go we sit down and watch a Charlie Brown Christmas, Frosty and a longer Christmas movie, last year was Elf. DS9 will leave out reindeer food & snacks for Santa. Before the kiddos go off to bed we hang our Christmas key ornaments on the tree there are 3 of them you hang the shepherd's key on a low branch to signify Christ's humble birth; the Magi's key on a top branch, near the star they followed; and the Christ key in the middle of your tree, because Jesus was crucified on the center cross. This brings back the true meaning of Christmas for us.

One of the men from the nursing home that I was adopting for Christmas has passed away they called me today and asked me if I would please take someone else because they are so short on donors this year. I was able to pick up just about everything for James, blanket, toiletries, shoes and candy. I still need to find a jogging suit for him and I am iffy about some white t-shirts. I had already picked up most of the things for Larry before he passed away, some I can pass on to the Ken, the guy they just gave me others I am just going to leave with them at the home...I don't have the heart to return it so I am sure that they can find someone to use it. This need has truly touched my heart.

I found this today when I got home from work there it was in my mail box...it is just perfect...and I have no idea where my person found a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree it can with book and Linus' blanket to keep it warm. She also sent me a pretty Christmas Tree ornament to represent the Charlie Browns Christmas....all that it says is from your SS in Georgia....hum I went back a few posts trying to figure out who it is...hum http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w213/mcknight_colleen/SSGottaDeal002.jpg DS9 is a ham and had to be in a picture...lol http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w213/mcknight_colleen/SSGottaDeal001.jpg
