Good morning Janie Mom did get her fruitcake yesterday. She said she wasn't going to open it until Christmas Day and then have some of it with her morning coffee. The package of baked goods will be late but that means they just last longer, right?

When I lived in Tennessee, my mom would send me an orange jello cake every year for my birthday. One year I opened it and it was full of ants! The next year she and my dad decided to visit and bring me my cake. It snowed so much that they had to get a hotel room on their way to visit. They were snowed in for two days. My dad ate half my cake. (I didn't mind. I was so happy to see them!)

Good morning, that cake looks good Janie,

Good morning, IM. Happy weekend! I can handle grumpy, and I do want you around.

Thanks Janie, I was trying to kid but in my medicated state of mind it didn’t come out that way

I was thinking about you and fruit cake the other day. It’s a seasonal thing you enjoy and it seems to really make the holiday for you. For me, it’s butter cookies; I like the ones without the sugar on top.

Mom and Dad get an A+++ for effort!

I've been slacking so today I need to kick it into gear. Need to run some errands and do some baking for my mom's package. It's almost to the point where it will be a New Year's package instead of a Christmas package.

I’m sure your mom will enjoy them no matter when she gets them. What are you making her?
I need to bake several dozen cutout sugar cookies. I have an order for 2 dozen for Tuesday, 2 dozen for one lady on the 23rd and a dozen for another lady the same day. I also want to do extra for work. I wish there was a way to do them fast and look nice.
I froze some peanut butter blossoms. I made peanut butter balls and ritz peanut butter crackers. I have them in the fridge. I made bugles dipped in almond bark and stuffed with an MM. I hid a container in the cupboard. I’m making Oreo Bon Bons this week.

Good morning, IM. Happy weekend! I can handle grumpy, and I do want you around.

Yeah, what Janie said!

Good morning, DMC did you finish your book?

Hi Janie, not yet. When I was younger I could whip it out in no time. It’s hard to stay focused. I read and then go do something, then read and blah blah blah…It’s a vicious cycle

Beautiful photos!

Hi Mark, thank you!

It’s a bit slippery here

I'm wondering if he was having fun spinning the skid steer (great name for that ice!!) or saying "Oh sh!t"

School is closed! Yes I wonder who slipped?

Probably the person who decides if school is closed. NO ONE should be out driving on ice.

I'm doing well. Going to be a short day

Two thoughts came to mind:
"Snow day at the home office?"
"Not as short as tomorrow but they will be getting longer in just a few days!"

Good morning Bob and all my other BYC friends

Omg. Y'all I have found my dream cake. It's a real coma inducer.

If it doesn't kill you outright!

Good morning Bruce. He was not having fun. He had several spin outs. I’m very glad they canceled school.

Good morning folks

Good morning everyone. Hope we all have a good Saturday

Good morning Debby, have a great day

Temporarily, I’m sick and grumpy. You don’t want me around. Yet here I am in the middle of the night.

The middle of the night is barely morning Debby lol.

Good morning IM, have the best day possible and get well quickly. I like you grumpy or not.

Good morning all!

I hope you feel better soon.
