I can hardly believe this is the 50th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas! 50 years! First it was the 60th anniversary of the green bean casserole and now this....I'm beginning to feel a little old. As these events arrive at milestone-type anniversaries, I'm less that eager to admit that I watched the first showing on tv. I used to proudly state that I was there for the first time. Now I shy away from owning up to it at all. I step away from groups talking about how looooong something's been on tv. It's all quite disturbing.
It's pretty cold here. When I got up and let Bear out this morning, it was 24 degrees out....brrrr! When the temps are so low, I feel like making soup and baking. Yesterday I made con chowder to have for lunch the next few days. This morning I made little apple "pies" out of crescent roll dough. Tomorrow is BigTable at church, so the apple "pies" will go there for that...I'll leave a few home for Craig. I put apples in the crockpot last night when I went to bed to make applesauce. It smelled really good when I got up. I think what I really like is the way it makes our little house smell...makes it very cozy.
Thanksgiving here was very nice. Not like it used to be, but nice. We've met a young couple with 2 small kids and they've only been here 2 weeks. We met at church. We had heard that they were pretty homesick, so we decided to take them out for T'giving dinner. It was very nice to get to know them. I reminded me that when I was growing up, my parents would invite anyone over for T'giving or Christmas that didn't have anywhere to go. We had two ping pong tables and most years both those tables were full. It was a good way to grow up. I learned that sharing with others is really the best way to go. Thanks, Mom and Dad.
