Nothing really new to post. I mean, there is always a lot going on but not usually anything of consequence. We have all been sick with a terrible cold and now we find out that my 4 month old daycare baby has RSV. My kids just got done with their antibiotics and now I have to call in and see if they need to be tested too. Before you ask.... it doesn't matter how young or old you are, you can get it, it's just that it's more detrimental to infants (then again, what isn't?). Sooooo.... hopefully I won't be spending another $60 in copays and even more on breathing treatments and steroids for my three kids. I wouldn't be overly worried except that we have all had this terrible cough that won't seem to go away. UUGGGHHHHH!!!!! The joys, right?!?
My dear Aunt Judy has been tempting me this last few days by writing in several things that she has made the caramels for Christmas. I know where you live, Aunt Judy!!! I know where you live!!! ;) There aren't many candies that I can stand to eat over the holidays anymore. It used to be as a kid I ate a bite of everything. These days a little bit lasts me a year. Among my all time favorites: Mom's buckeyes, Dangler caramels, and Grandma Wells' chocolate covered cherries and cherry mash. I am sad to report that there most likely won't be any Grandma Wells candy this year unless we get a miracle that makes her a little perkier. Poor gal, she is wiped out. Please continue praying for her. She needs all she can get.
I have about half of the shopping done. I am done with all but one daycare kid, have most of my kids' done, and then just have to do my family, grab bags, and get online to have my niece and nephew's gifts shipped.
That's about it from here. Must get kids ready for school. Have a great week!!!

You and those caramels. good luck with the rest of your shopping. I am just so overloaded down here that I may simply wait and shop in NE. who knows.
Did you know I got that recipe (I think out of the Shafer cookbook?) and made them a couple of years ago? Mine were nowhere near as good as the Danglers, but close. Since we don't get Shafer Christmas any more, that's as close as it will get. Those are by far my favorite Christmas sweet. I remember that Christmas Eve at Uncle Myron's house, the one where Addison was a wee baby? And I was 22, single, and still in college. I must have eaten half the pan that year. Mmmmm...
I think I ate the other half!!! That Christmas (aside from missing Uncle Myron) is one of my favorites. Not just you and my brother fighting over Addison, but rebelieving (not really a word) in Santa when all the presents were under the tree. What an awesome year.... aside from the obvious. Christmas memories are the best. In my opinion!
If I have the right xmas, I just remember thinking that Santa Judy, I mean Santa Claus had lost her, I mean, his marbles as they wrapped all those gift bags. Santa was determined that Christmas would go on!!!!
The determination made me believe again. It was awesome. One I will never forget as long as I live.
