I could do without the ice/snow mix for sure.<br />Your remark about Grape Nuts being a "marginally enjoyable breakfast cereal" made me laugh. That is exactly how I thought about it then.Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-1676365235489127522016-12-27T17:46:57.582-08:002016-12-27T17:46:57.582-08:00Melting of ice and snow is always (imo) a thing to...Melting of ice and snow is always (imo) a thing to inspire gratitude. We've been fortunate this year so far, one 'shoveable snow fall' that got washed away within a week. The snow line has been to our north. It will surely snow and be cold, but now that the days are getting slowing (but steadily) longer, I can imagine an end to the winter.<br /><br />First photo made me think 'Grape Nuts!' one of those marginally enjoyable breakfast cereals when I was young. lol Clark Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606902779389446947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-36308067383648343992016-12-26T19:44:11.385-08:002016-12-26T19:44:11.385-08:00It looks like there is a chance of still some more...It looks like there is a chance of still some more snow on the horizon, but if we are lucky it will just be in the higher elevations. I think that all the walnuts in this fruitcake will win you over. We visited with Mom again yesterday, and she didn't seem in worse for the wear. With the AD she didn't even remember it had happened.Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-16106254362726419292016-12-26T19:22:28.631-08:002016-12-26T19:22:28.631-08:00No doubt huge thanks for melting snow and ice!

I love walnuts so maybe...:) <br />How scary for your mom. I'm glad she's alright.<br />GirlieOnTheEdgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226101556766074271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-8325639855619755802016-12-26T12:23:32.843-08:002016-12-26T12:23:32.843-08:00Hmmm...finding alpacas everywhere.

I didn't know exactly what I was going to give you for Christmas, but then I found that alpaca fabric (it was labeled llama, but I knew better!) and then suddenly I was finding alpacas everywhere, and it was easy to put together a little alpaca-themed package. :-)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-21625680306716665162016-12-25T20:51:22.265-08:002016-12-25T20:51:22.265-08:00You are the second one liking the gingerbread man!...You are the second one liking the gingerbread man! <br />I wish I could say the fruitcake didn't have any eggs in it, but 'tis not so. I just paused and looked through some fruitcake recipes I have saved, but they all include eggs. If I come across a fruitcake recipe without eggs and dairy, I'll share it with you.<br />I've never actually taken care of any alpacas, but I have petted a few. I agree, they do seem to be quite curious.Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-71135322987584964182016-12-25T20:32:41.934-08:002016-12-25T20:32:41.934-08:00Thank you Kerry.

And I'm glad the fruitcake went well. I'm a big fan of fruitcake, and on the lookout for recipes which don't use eggs or dairy!<br /><br />The alpacas are cute. I once helped my mum look after some alpacas for a friend of hers, while the friend went away on holiday.
