Excited

Liza gets home tonight and I can’t wait to see her. It’s been four months and that’s way too long. In the meantime, I’ve been baking cookies.

These are lemon ricotta cookies, recipe care of my friend Cyd. I’ve also made pecan pie squares, cream cheese brownies and Heath Bar cookies. We now have a bazillion sweets in our house!

I’ve put some decorations in Liza’s old room so it looks festive too.

And in this cold weather, I’ve been wearing one of the first sweaters that I ever knitted. It’s a wonderful hand-dyed yarn and is very soft wool. Keeps me warm on these blustery days.

This afternoon is the secret santa party at Happy Knits. I’ve excited and nervous. I always stress over whether the person I have will like her gifts. I’m taking my camera and will try to take some pictures. There is sure to be much merriment there.

I’ve been very bad about remembering to take pictures lately. Our Christmas party was Saturday night and I only took three pictures, Three! That’s pretty bad. I will try to do better. Merry Christmas!
