Open Sesame!

Confession: I forgot to take pictures.  I'm falling down on the job, I know!

Sunday, Rev. Hubby and I hosted a Holiday Open House at the manse.  I baked and baked and posted all the cookies and bars and goodies I made the other day, remember?  Well, guess what?  There are so many parties happening and events going on, that my kitchen bar is still full of cookies and goodies!!!  About 35 people came (we have about 300 coming to church) and those 35 people didn't eat much!!!  Ahhhhhh.  Hahahaha...I'm not upset about the number of people who attended; I hear our church has not had an event like this for several years so they aren't used to coming.  On a more sinister note: I thought people would come just to see what the house looked like! (Am I the only curious one in this church?)  Bless them; they weren't snoopy.  Darn them; I have all this chocolate still in my house!!!!! Family: guess what you are getting for Christmas; yes, homemade goodies!

Every morning I walk out to my kitchen and there loaded on the counter tops are all those left-over goodies...reminding me: eat me!  Yesterday I packed some up and loaded them into the freezer.  At Boy's scout meeting, they celebrated the season and so I dished up a tasty tray for him to take.  Gotta love the boy scouts....they eat!  I think one or two morsels came back home.

Tis the season for eating and loving and giving.  Have a blessed day, Grainiacs, and feel free to come on over.  I have coffee and goodies (I guess that's not a great thing to post since this is about my weight loss journey  or should I say "roller coaster?").
