Couples...

We had the privilege to attend a 50 year anniversary dinner for a couple who are like family to us...So conveniently, here we have some wonderful couples who have been together many years....  What a wonderful thing to appreciate!

Fred and Kathy

Dogie & Joyce Anne

Me and Mine, (whew-whee I am looking like my Grandma!)

Another nice one!  Janie and Preston

Who are these wonderful people?

Almost 50 years together!

The newlyweds, they are glowing!

Another happy couple and the sweetest little girl ever!

And here they are, 50 years together!  What an example for us all.

So Long December

The girls baked cinnamon rolls for a lot of neighbors and friends, and we delivered them and had some visits.  

We used Pioneer Woman's recipe and also copied her tradition of gifting the rolls!

New Winter dresses for Thanksgiving, from Zulily! My 1st experience with that company, love them!

We made two huge batches!

This was soooooo much fun! I can't remember having such a good time baking EVER!

Except someone floured the whole table (10 feet) and floor!  Love my concrete!
