time flies

well here we are almost to Christmas!!
Wow, where did the year go??
Im not being very good  at keeping up with my blogging,
am I?
We are winding down at work and I have taken on the job of taking care of the co op houses.
So its adding a bit more work, but thats ok..
I enjoy doing this..
this is a great time of year, for some..
and not so great for others.. its tough if you dont have the money to keep up with
the jones..
When my daughter was young..it was hard..there wasnt enough money to have the things
you wanted them to have, or eat..
Why, is it so important to be like everyone else?
I dont know.. its kinda crazy isnt it?
We should just care about what we have..not worry so much what we dont have..
there is a lot less stress..
Tonight my sister and I made cookies, n these great pecan bites
oatmeal bars, and potatoe candy..
Our mom used to make it for us at Christmas time..
mash a potaote,2lbs of icing sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla,1pkg unsweetned chocolate,1cup coconut(shredded)
add slowly to the potatoe..the icicng sugar
and mix..roll into balls and refidgerate
melt the chocolate in a double boiler..
if you  dont have one..thats ok we didnt..
take a pot with water in it, boil it, place a steel bowl on top.
make sure its bigger than the pot.
stir until its all melted,remove..remember it will be HOT..
take the balls one at a time, and put in the chocolate then roll into the coconut
then refriderate that..
they are really sweet..but all you need is one..
they look nice too..
you know now a days, nobody needs to go without..
I volunteer for the Salvation Army and they feed and give gifts to anyone who cant do it alone
Contact them..if there is anyone out there..even your local Lyons Club..
dont be proud..
we all need help every now and again..
have a Merry Christmas..and a Happy New Year..
God Bless.
