Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Baking Cookies

My ankle felt a LOT better this morning
but giving it another day of not walking.
I'm a pretty quick healer.
Thanks for all your concern!

Made some Christmas Sugar Cookies this morning.
Will make the icing tomorrow and decorate them.
I will be taking them when I go to Blankets for Babies Thursday.  
We will be having a cookie exchange after working on the blankets.

Finally got out some Christmas decorations.
Since it will just be the two of us we didn't bother getting
a Christmas tree, but we do have this cute little one.


Started reading book 12 of the Gamache series by Louise Penny.
Another good one.

That's been my day.
We are about to leave to go to Casselman's Restaurant in Grantsville.
Meeting the seniors from church there for the
 Christmas banquet.
Looking forward to a good time.

A happy day to you.
Thanks for stopping by.

Back in the day my mother would bake a hundred dozen cookies for Christmas.

So glad to hear that your ankle is feeling better. I think you were wise to take the day off of walking to let it heal. I think your little tree is so cute! Have a great time at that banquet. We have an empty-nesters group we get together with for dinner once a month and we sure enjoy that. I know your cookies are delicious! I need to do some baking soon too. See you again tomorrow!

Christmas cookies ... I think I need to make some.

I, too will be baking a ton of cookies today for my luncheon party tomorrow. Keep resting- Gamache is a good series :)

I love your Christmas corner, the tree is cute. We just hang our decorations around the house these days and don't bother with a tree. It's nice and easy and we love it. Your kitchen must smell great with all the cookie baking you're doing. Hope the ankle feels much better after another day off.
Enjoy your day!

Hi, Karen! I'm not blogging anymore, but I'm still reading yours, which is always a delight, with such beautiful pictures. I was taking a break from decorating cookies today to read your blog, and saw YOUR cookies and the recipe! One of these days I'll blog again, hopefully. I hope your ankle heals very quickly. Have a lovely day :)

So pleased to read that your ankle is feeling better... just take things slowly on it and allow it time to heal properly.

I love that little tree. Right now I have a 7 footer, but in the future I plan to scale that down. I don't have the space or the energy for big trees anymore. But I do enjoy a lighted tree!
