CHRISTMAS COOKIES AND GRANDBABIES...AND BELL BELL

Today, I saw Emmy and the kids for the first time in about a month...yikes! I have been in Ohio and just now got over the mountain to visit them since getting back into town. We baked a boat load of Christmas cookies and played quite a bit. Clarkie finally remembered me...I wore a Tinkerbell T-shirt, which helped jog his memory...he has connected me with "Bell Bell" and refers to me as such, which delights me to no end...The cookies turned out great...don't even get me started on those anise cookies with lemon icing...oh my gosh...Martha Stewart, you she-devil...and the afternoon ended up with a love-fest on the couch between me and the babies...ahhhhhh, Christmas, cookies, and grandbabies....heaven on earth.....
