Peanut butter Hershey kids cookies View attachment 335445I

My mom makes those for Christmas and the ones that you use the chocolate stars.

Sounds lovely. We used to get to Longwood Gardens a couple of times a year when we lived closer. Now a 3 hour drive is too much, plus with the dogs that would mean finding someone to care for them.

It'll be 2 hrs 15 minutes for us to travel there.....but compared to driving from NJ to Orlando...hey that's nothing
Additionally, we don't have any pets.
Anyway, hope you have a great Christmas

I LOVE these cookies. I was always really excited when someone would bring them to the parties at school, because my mom wouldn't make them. They were one of my favorites.

Thank you. I wish the same for your family.

Feel free to laugh. No one was upset. Cannot get mad at that cat. He is too cute.

I guess I’ll just have to be unfashionable, no lie rise for me.

Being unfashionable is nothing new to me, so it doesn't particularly bother me to be out of style. I don't see why anyone even wears stuff like that. I'm a function over fashion girl. If it's not comfortable, I'm not wearing it.

I think it is muscle related. I wasn’t overdoing it at the time, I just was standing up from sitting. I haven’t used the muscle relaxer yet. I didn’t want to take it when brad wasn’t home in case something happened to him and I needed to drive, I like to be alert for that. By the time his got home it was close to bed and he didn’t want me to take it because it is old and he feared some sort of reaction while I was sleeping. So maybe today, this afternoon perhaps. It is just frustrating.

Perhaps you should see a doctor and get your own prescription that isn't old. Doctors can give you better stuff than advil, and then you wouldn't have to worry about a reaction because it's old.

Happy Sunday! Happy Vacation! Went Grocery shopping Friday night to avoid the crowds yesterday and today. Went to my cousins annual party yesterday and had a great time. They themed it nostalgia this year, and everyone brought pictures from Christmas past and brought there favorite food my step grandma use to make. I channeled my real grandma though… and made Sausage balls.. however I did a pinterest twist (using red lobster biscuit mix instead of bisquick) and they turned into sausage cookies… They tasted amazing though…so who cares the shape, right? LOL

This morning I’ve worked on getting some old junk out of my room….. starting laundry… dunno what we are going to do today … maybe go see Mary Poppins Returns?

We did that today!! Cute movie. Not as good as the original, but it was fun!

Going out or auntie Swanson?

Actually hubs is making the lasagna. He bakes a really tasty one!

I found a video on Longwood Gardens at Christmas time. That night we will stay at a Hampton Inn in Lancaster PA and then the next day we'll enjoy a nice lunch at Miller's Smorgasbord. That's it for plans. How about all of you guys? Anyone doing a multiple day getaway?

Oh my, that's gorgeous! What a nice Christmas week activity for you and you wife. Also, happy to hear that she is feeling better every day. That's the nicest Christmas present of all !

 

[MinnieM123]

Yikes I agree with the above it may have been easier and cheap to start from scratch. {{HUGS}} all around

Probably it would have, but from what he shared, I don't think they knew what was coming. In hindsight, I guess we could all make different choices, but most of us don't have that luxury. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for them, that something good comes out of all this in the new year.

So I just went into my bedroom that I share with my brother and locked the door because all of the sudden my grandmother says "Well I know this very nice young man..."

EDIT: My grandmother pulled his picture up on Facebook and I can hear my mother saying, "Nope. Absolutely not."

Doesn't she always do this to you around Christmastime?

 

[MinnieM123]

Thanks. I have the heating pad on it and took some Advil. Hubs found me some of his old over the counter back pills I may try that next. The heat does make it feel better.

There should be a date on the pill container. Some pills are fine for quite a while after expiration, but it's on a case by case basis. Other pills turn toxic. If you have the name of the medicine, just look it up on a medical web site (there's plenty of them), and see what the safety window is on them. And if you have even the slightest doubt whatsoever, discard them.

@Mr Ferret 88 , what are your plans for Christmas Day? Is Mrs. Ferret all set for Christmas? I figure you both will have a special coffee that morning together, as I know that's a favorite thing you both enjoy together.

 

[Figgy1]

That's too bad. I wish you a Merry Christmas for the Sunday - Tuesday time that he is with you.

Thank you and he gets a 5 day weekend next weekend as of now, but as always subject to change

Our tradition of making them for Christmas started back before James was born when Chocolate World had a promotion on kisses. If you bought X number of bags of kisses you got a little cooking with Hershey baking cook book for free.
