<\/p>\nIT’S STILL COLD.<\/p>\n
i got an e-mail greeting from the warwick hotel, where we stayed at the end of our scotland trip.\u00a0 i LOVE the photo, so i’m including it now for you to see because it’s so cute.<\/p>\n
actually, i’m including it because kevin figured out how to save it as a picture because when i kept trying to save it, it was an online image and i couldn’t just make it BE A PHOTO.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
AREN’T THEY CUTE BEARS?<\/p>\n
Plus, a nice message.\u00a0 that warwick chain, they have many fancy hotels all over the world.\u00a0 we got a great deal on our room, plus the room was huge, i mean HUGE, and i can’t remember the exact price but it was definitely under two hundred dollars, and this is quite amazing for new york city.\u00a0 it was also very very convenient to everything, including central park, only a few blocks away.<\/p>\n
maybe we’ll have to try all the warwick hotels all over the world…<\/p>\n
but right now i’m not going anywhere.\u00a0 just sitting here on my couch.<\/p>\n
i made one recipe of bar cookies, they’re called “angel cookies,” from the joy of cooking.\u00a0 pecans and coconut and brown sugar on a shortbread crust.\u00a0 as usual, i’ve selected a lot of cookies to make for christmas, but i must be careful and make the ones that people really, really want first, because i rarely make all the cookies on the list plus this year there are a DOZEN different kinds which is quite a lot.\u00a0 dad wants wedding cakes.\u00a0 kevin wants pfefferneuse.\u00a0 check, check.<\/p>\n
i would like to make some delicious fudge, too, but that means i will DEFINITELY GAIN FIVE POUNDS because i have absolutely no self-control when it comes to my DELICIOUS FUDGE.<\/p>\n
i used to give it to my piano teacher, mrs. ecklund, every year for xmas.\u00a0 i wrapped each piece up individually in saran wrap, and she told me that she and her husband would save it and cut each piece in half so it would last longer.<\/p>\n
she died right before our wedding.\u00a0 she was a lovely women, mrs. ecklund.\u00a0 a hard piano teacher, but i learned a lot.\u00a0 kevin is taking piano lessons at lincoln land community college, have i mentioned that?\u00a0 it’s funny to hear him practicing downstairs every morning.\u00a0 well, not EVERY morning, but he’s pretty good at keeping at it.\u00a0 sometimes he practices later in the day, and sometimes he doesn’t practice at all.\u00a0 he’s already very good.\u00a0 he’s also going to take some kind of music theory class.\u00a0 he’s very very busy.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
still already totally sick of the cold and how will i get through the whole damn winter grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
