Hi Debby. I came back to look at your snow picture again! Rob's brother's girlfriend in Chelsea wrote this morning that they are having a big snowstorm today. Guess the folks in many states are seeing lots of white, including you! Glad Jeremiah got home from Germany safely. Hope you & all your family will enjoy many blessings this Christmas & all through the new year

Debby, just want to let you know right away that we will NOT be in FL from Jan. 6-20, so I'm hoping maybe your trip to see your parents might be later in the month. We will be spending the week of Jan. 6-13 in NC with our middle daughter & family & then the week of Jan. 13-20 at the Fripp Island beach house. Sure would hate to miss meeting up with you again this time around. Stay warm & cozy in your Winter Wonderland up there!! Rick must get so cold working on Jenny(ie?)'s car. Hope he's done soon!

Hi Debby. Lots of snow up here in Ottawa right now. How about down your way? I just stopped by to say that I hope you and all you care for enjoy happiness and peace during this festive season and in all days to come! Best wishes for a Merry Christmas!

Debby, Wishing you and your family, health, peace, love, and happiness during this Christmas Season and throughout the New Year! Merry Christmas! Stella & family

Debby, just stopping by and noticed you had the hot chocolate simmering ... I've added a plate of shortbread cookies to share with the rest of the gang. Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and may all good things come your way in 2008!

Debby,
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Debby, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.

Debby, All if fine here, at the moment. The snow storm only left 1 inch and all was melted in 2 days. We are even having a heat wave, was in the 50's today should be the same tomorrow maybe even the next day. I did not mind the snow, no ice with it. Yes, there are still parts of OK without power, mostly in OKC and in the rural areas all over the state.

Thanks Debby for the welcome wishes and chocolate munchies, I have been visiting these pages and commenting sicen May 2005 b ut hadn' got around to setting up my own page- Still not sure that I will afford the time to make my page interesting to visit.

May you and your family enjoy a joyful Christmas with the traditional gifts of love, peace and hope

I always do lemon cordial for Christmas pressies. Love that home-made feel. I used to have a lemon tree in Victoria but up here we have a lime. I'm actually going to make another couple of batches today and maybe mix some lemon and lime.... so here's yours
LEMON CORDIAL
Ingredients:
Juice of 7 large lemons
Grated rind of 5 large lemons
1 kg sugar
1.5 litres of water
25g citric acid
Method:
1.In a large pan, boil up sugar, water, grated peel and citric acid.
2.Take off the heat and add juice, If preferred, this may be strained.
3.Bottle whilst still hot into clean, sterilised (in oven ) bottles

Whilst lemon cordial is great in out hot Australian Christmas climate.. you may want to try it with honey and hotwater (perhaps with a dash of whiskey as a hot toddy.

Enjoy with my blessings!! fi

Debby, Knock! Knock! Anybody home? Have you any room for a little bubbly? Well, then. I will leave this case of Veuve Clicquot Brut. I hope this messsage finds you and your family in the best of health and spirits. You are always a delight on the site. Celebrate the season.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Debby, Just had to stop by to wish you and yours the happiest of holidays and a happy, healthy new year. Peace.

Here's wishing you a wonderful Christmas filled with peace, joy and a multitude of blessings. May your blessings overflow and be multiplied as you journey into the New Year.

Merry and .

Thank you for the birthday blessing and hope you have a very merry Christmas. Enjoy the snow for me. Haven't seen snow in person in years and I was not in TX at the time.

Debbie sorry I am running behind, but tis the season is my only excuse.

Thank you for my birthday wishes last week.

Hope your holiday celebrations were as good as mine.

So nice of you to come by and thanks for the flowers...I love them. Wishing you to you and your family...I lived in Sault Ste Marie 7 years and still miss Lake Superior. Just found out Greg (Canuk) was brought up there...I placed some Mochas I made for Chritsmas on your table and a tourtière...Enjoy!

Debby, Have a great new year and many more.

Stopped by to wish you good cheer
Brought a little bubblie here
May your toast be great
For two thousand eight
May you have a very

Hope your Christmas was blest.
No resolutions to obsess
It is not too late
For to celebrate
Our Lord Saviour’s Righteousness

I brought you the whole peach pie for you to enjoy with your family and friends on New year Day.

Hi Debby, Tourtières are a french canadian tradition meat pie. It used to be made with wild birds (tourterelles) but today we make them with minced veal, pork and beef and a pinch of clove and cinnamon. There is no Christmas without Tourtières...some people put also mash potatoes inside.

Debby, happy new year, and please pass on my WELL DONE to Jenny!

HURRAH for Jenny. She has done extremely well to make the dean's list AND hold down two part-time jobs. You must be so proud of her.

Debby, doesn't it seem that life is such a roller coaster of good news & bad news! It was good to hear that Jenny made the Dean's list, but bad to hear about your poor swollen face. Hope it gets better fast, so you can start to think about getting down to FL. I hope when you do come, it will be much warmer than the past couple days! I'm sure your mom & dad have told you about the really low (well, for FL anyway!) temps we've had. I figure maybe this is God's way of helping me adjust to the colder weather we'll have in NC & SC! Have almost finished putting the Christmas stuff away - ugh, what a big job. Tomorrow we'll get the suitcases out again & Sun. we'll drive to NC. I won't have a lot of time on the computer while we're traveling, but I'll try to check in now & then. We have a meeting in Atlanta on Feb. 10, but other than that we should be home whenever you do get down to your folks. Hope to see you in a few weeks!

DEBBIE, thanks for the lovely comments about my quilts! I really need to put up some new photos, I found more photos on my computer one day, now to find them again! I really enjoyed working on the quilts, and miss being able to with the problem I have now with my hands. Maybe some day I can return to them. I still have a lot of unfinished projects and dozens more in my head wanting to be made. I cannot die yet, I still have fabric!!

Hi Debbie: Thank you for your help. I had been away from the site for a few days. Got to get back 'in the swing of things'.

Thank you Debbie, you are too kind. Belated wishes count just as much. In fact, I just went down to the post office today for the first time in days and what do you think I found there. A card from Rolanda. I am deeply touched by you all.
The roses are beautiful. Thank you once again.

Debby, for the new member "Welcome" & the WARM cookies. Yum! Noticed that you are a fellow Michigander ...or is it Michiganian? Drop by any time!

Debby for birthday wishes yesterday 13th Jan. Had a wonderful day which I finished with a family dinner.

Debby, I live about an hour west of Detroit. Compared to Australia, we're almost neighbors! Funny thing, after my husband mowed this afternoon, our neighbor mowed theirs! Guess they figured if he could look crazy, then they could too! Hope we don't get too much snow. I haven't looked at the weather channel today. I know that Petoskey was getting buckets of snow this afternoon. Hope it's not on its way downstate!

Debby thank you for the birthday greetings. I am sure I will have a lovely day

I love the picture of your house. It's starting to snow here also amd I just got the front room tree down.. now on to the back room.. This is my break time... Mary always an excuse. Thanks for everything , take care, Mary

Hi Debby,
Thank you so much for your birthday wishes to me on the 16th. My apologies for being so late in replying. I had a lovely day, made even better by the greetings from my new friends on this site. Thank you so much!
What a glorious picture of a White Thanksgiving.

Debby, When you get your grandchildren, that's when the fun starts. I've enjoyed every minute of it (my oldest GC is 9) which I never really expected to. My kids are 37 and 35, not kids anymore. Cheers, Cynthia

Debby,
Thanks for your help on my avatar! Now I feel like I'm really a member!

Hello, Debby. Glad you liked the Harry Caray stories. I love all the pics you have of folk music instruments. In college in Missouri, I loved go to Bluegrass Conventions, out near Eminence MO, at Sinkin Creek. Great memories!
I was looking through your Flickr photos, and could not help but notice you have a wonderful photo of a Sandhill Crane and its chick- but you have them labeled as Blue Heron. Check out my photo gallery, I have pictures of both birds so you can see the differences.

Mea culpa! It's been awhile since I visited so thought I'd drop in with a batch of liqueur-laced hot chocolate for us to share. It's cold here too. Does this thermal underwear make my behind look fat? Have a wonderful day and stay warm!
