Only Four More days!

We are spending Christmas Eve in Denton with my family and I am so excited!!!  I'm making cookies today for the kids and some of the grownups and I'm finishing up Christmas presents for my husband's side of the family.  I'm trying to make cookies for the kids there too, but don't know if I have enough time with the size of the family on the Farnsworth side, but I am going to do my best.

I haven't been excited about Christmas in about four years.  The stress always gets to me because I can't seem to get everything done that I need to do and I'm so tired by the time it is over, I just pass out....

On December 31st this year, it will have been one year since I've had any kind of alcoholic beverage to drink and I think that is something to be proud of...  It is not that I am an alcoholic, but there were times when I didn't think I could relax without something alcoholic.  However, I made a promise to my husband that when we got married I would quit.  It has taken me a while, but I am there. 

Anyway, back to Christmas Eve... my niece went through rehab this year and has been transferred to a half way house and I will get to see her on Christmas Eve for the first time in about nine months.  She has finally gotten her life straightened out and I'm so very proud of her!!!  She can only visit from seven am to seven pm on Christmas Eve, and I want to get there sometime between ten and twelve so that I can spend some time with her.  I love her very much!!

Anyway, I know we will be a little sad this year too, because this is the first Christmas without my dad.  However we have lots of memories and things from the years that will make us laugh and smile. 

Hey Mom do you remember the year we dropped the ham or was it a turkey taking it out of the oven????  We laughed for hours!  Anyway, I know we will have a good time, and next year we won't have to travel at all on Christmas Eve.  We will all be together.  I can't wait!  I told my husband this morning that next year we are taking the week of Christmas off!!!!

God Bless you all and Remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!  Happy New Year!

Love, L

Dixie Dog Treats Recipe Book

Hey everyone, Just want to make another post about the recipe book that is for sale to make your dog treats.  There is nothing harmful in them and they make great training tools. 

You can make mini muffins or you can make biscuit type treats either one.  The information is in the download pdf document on how to do both, plus a couple of extras.  I've been making mini muffins the last month or two and on Sunday made 68 mini muffins. 

I use them at night to put them in their crates.  Usually all I need to say is "Biscuits" and they will both go to their crates and wait.  The big dog, Sioux, goes to her bed and waits.  It's all good! 

The cost of the book is $5.95 and you can pay with credit card or your pay pal account or your debit card if it has a MasterCard or Visa logo.  I have a few customers whose dogs absolutely love them. 

This is a great and easy way to give your dog something special, and you don't have to go pay mega bucks for dog biscuits at the store.  Give your dog the present that will keep on giving!  Buy the recipe book today!

They are all tied with white but the other color can be most anything.  Thanks!
