New Years Eve!

Happy New Year’s Eve to you all! We will not be going anywhere today. We didn’t have big plans anyway, but Dennis just drove down to get his mom‘s prescriptions from the pharmacy and he said it’s awful out there. It’s a freezing mist! Mandy, Brad, and Piper were supposed to be tested this morning. She just texted me and said they’re not being tested because they can’t even get out of their neighborhood. They posted a winter storm warning for us from 6:00 tomorrow morning until midnight. Heavy snow is expected. I guess our day in the sun is over!😍. My flip-flops have been retired for the winter.

Meanwhile, last night I mixed up a cheese ball that’s been marinating in the refrigerator overnight to meld the flavors. In a little while I will form it into a ball, or maybe, since it’s just Dennis and I, I may just leave it in the bowl for easy storage.

This morning I baked Vera’s almond cake. Vera has “The Threaded Lane” blog over on my side bar. She generously shared this recipe with me. Oh my! The smell is amazing. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you Vera!

I’m planning to put a big pan of lasagna in the oven about mid afternoon and we’ll have salad and garlic bread with it. Tonight we’ll snack on our cheese and crackers and have almond cake. And that will be it for our big New Year’s celebration. What about you? What are you planning?

I made two pair of black and white mittens yesterday and have another single mitten almost finished. I just have the tip of the thumb to bind off. Using a single color is much, much faster than putting stripes in.

I’m wishing you all a peaceful and safe New Year’s Eve and I pray that 2022 is a better year for the entire world.

Blessings and love!
