This is the first and according to Twila the last Christmas we will spend in Texas. We plan on leaving Sunday Morning the 27th and drive the Jeep back to Oklahoma. We will then have our Christmas with the kids in the Cushing area. I think we couldn’t have picked a better time not to be in Oklahoma for Christmas since they had about 10 to 11 inches of snow Christmas eve but Twila says it just doesn’t seem like Christmas not being there. We got down to 41F this morning so I’m sure most native Aransas Pass people are freezing to death. It is chilly but all I have to do is check the weather in the Cushing and it seems a lot warmer. Weather Bug said it got down to 21F in Cushing last night and is predicting 14F tonight. Not my kind of weather!!!!!
We went to the Club house for the Christmas Dinner today. The camp ground furnished the turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, and dressing and everyone else brought a dish or two. Twila took a Waldorf Salad and baked rolls. As usual it was a wonderful meal. Of course I ate too much, it’s expected.
Twila and I have gotten into making microwave peanut brittle and microwave pecan pralines. Both have turned out really good after we got the timing figured out. You really have to move fast on the peanut brittle and the timing on the pralines is crucial so it will pour but not be to thin or too thick and be lumpy. The really good part is you get to eat your mistakes!!!!
I think I have mentioned that Twila’s brothers and sisters are going to get together on Saturday the 2nd of January. They are going to be fixing dishes that their mother made when they were growing up. We will be leaving Oklahoma and headed back on Monday the 4th.
Twila and I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
