Let it Snow, let it Snow.......

So much snow - keeps me busy shoveling. And of course as a result, this old back of mine has decided to act up again.  I just keep quiet, share it with no one and carry on.
Thanks for the recipe Cathy.  We did not go shopping yesterday but I have looked at the tubs of McLarens Cheese lately and the price has really gone up hasn't it?  The Cheese tarts I made was from a container I already had in the fridge and just enough left in it to make the tarts.
We visited our friends in Sprucedale on Monday afternoon to take a little gift basket to them and pick up one they had ready for us.  Nice visit, beautiful home and decorated for the season.  They were planning to come to our house on Thursday to deliver their basket to us so we had to quickly make plans to avoid that. Driving by the cemetery going into Sprucedale, we remembered that we had not taken the arrangement off the tombstone as we do every late Fall. So there it was as seen from the highway (can't get into the cemetery now) covered with snow and listing to the front. Too bad - next Spring I'll have to make an entire new arrangement I guess.
That morning I had also gone over to the neighbours with a book for Ruth to read that I had just finished.  Her Surgery for hip has been put on hold until the cardiovascular specialist sees her = the anaesthetist wants her checked because of a constriction in her aorta (she is vague on details) So Bailey and I went in and had a coffee at their insistence. Nice home, decorated with Christmas tree and other ornaments. So in one day I was out and about having visits and coffee in other peoples homes haha!  It was fun!
I have been playing with a little toy Harry picked up at the dump. It looks like a toy sewing machine but I went on line to see and it is actually a toy needle felter. I have been using it with a few pieces of felt I had although you are supposed to only use the purchased kits. The machine came with nothing of course - therefore that is why it was in the dump store. Just for fun go onto the net and look up SEW COOL from SpinMaster. and see what I am talking about. 
My Mammo has been scheduled for Dec 21 in Huntsville so I have that to look forward to for next week. 
Coffee time now and a little peaceful sit on the chesterfield gazing at my little fibre optic lit tree and red cardinal lights. Then the day begins.  Take care
