I LIKE Thursday #75

Happy Almost Christmas! Happy Winter Solstice.  From now on the days will be getting longer! That’s always a good thing! Check in with other bloggers at LeeAnna's blog, Not Afraid of Color

We finished the puzzle! It was a great conversation builder! Remembering the TV shows, the character names. So much fun! Thank you DD, for the fun gift!

Then we drove to the Klamath National Forest to cut a Christmas tree. The weather was a factor in our thoughts. But as we climbed above the clouds the sky was a fabulous blue. Took my guys about 30 minutes to find a great tree. 

I stayed by the vehicle. I don’t have good balance when it comes to tramping through snow covered underbrush. But my view was so beautiful! 

These was this tiny bit of green lichen ( I think) just laying on top of the snow. 

And single pine/spruce/fir cones here and there. 

The snow was not deep, so there was great contrast in the landscape! 

The very pretty tree awaiting lights and decorations! 

Monday we drove to a neighboring city to do a bit of shopping, check out some Christmas lights and eat some great Mexican food! 

Tuesday was a dreary day! As was Wednesday. DS and I made Chicken Enchiladas for dinner. A favorite yummy supper. 

Wednesday was my day to start preparing the cranberry salad. It’s a long process if you do it according to my late MIL’s recipe. 'smile'

2 cups of ground fresh cranberries with 1.5 cups of white sugar stirred in. Let set overnight in the fridge. 

It's a jello based salad If you want the recipe, send me a message at jdyblr6107 (at) gmail (dot) com.

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy
