Ready to Hit the Road

By Georgia Osten
Yep, I finally finished all my shopping. Even grocery shopping. Certainly, there’ll be more groceries to get once I get to Florida. Tomorrow, Santa aka PawPaw will deliver goodies to the families going to Colorado and Oklahoma. Then, we’ll be ready to head out on our trip on Wednesday. I do have some more baking to do. Gotta do the Jelly Cookies for those deserving grands. What’s a Christmas without Grandma’s Jelly Cookies? Mmmmmmmm, don’t they look good.

They’re actually not Jelly, they’re jam or preserves, and they’re called Jam Strip Cheesers. I found this recipe a hundred years ago in a Pillsbury book at the check out line of the grocery store. My husband had to laminate the old thing for me because it began crumbling with age. My youngest daughter gave me this for Christmas a few years ago.

I hope I have the energy; I’ve been sitting here at my desk yawning and wishing I could get a nap when I get home. Nope! I’m sure I’ll perk up once I’m out of this “freezer” with my little heater going full blast.

I’ve delivered almost all my local Christmas gifts. I wonder if Santa ever had to deal with all these mosquitos.
I’ll bring the goodies for my peeps at work tomorrow.

Oh da-da-dear-dear. I need to finish my story and get busy!

    • Slow Down

      By Georgia Osten Drastically slower pace now that we’re back home. We made the trip home from practically the southern tip of Florida in one day. It’s at least a 14-hour trip no matter how you look at it. We made a slight detour on the way back through Panama City to get out son-in-law to his car – long story, too long. I don’t remember where we were when

Or who could have guessed

    • Miss Bee’s Bolivar Buzz

      By Shannon Williams “If Plan A fails, remember you still have 25 letters left” I love to make plans, it is almost a disease, as I just have to have a plan for just about everything, and I have to admit that I like to plan. I view myself as being flexible to change those plans, as there are just way too many things that can get in the way of a good plan. The past several
