One from old friends who live across the country whom we haven't seen in decades, and the other from a young woman I met through blogging ages ago. Such a lovely surprise, and they mean so much to me.

I apologize for not posting more frequently at the Window. I am trying to pull some posts together for there soon. This old blog of mine seems more like a journal that could be updated more often but even here time gets away from me. And it was so silly to turn off comments as I did. Not the best way to blog. I see you've left a comment at the Window so I'll go there now. How did I lose track of you? Will have to see if you're still on my blogroll there. Do you still blog? I'll click on your name right now and see if you do!<br /> Best to you!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-49913654973767404212022-11-25T09:51:02.437-08:002022-11-25T09:51:02.437-08:00Ahhhh, this blog is more current.

So I am happy to see you are blogging, and accepting comments.<br /><br />I am one of those people you surely do not understand, because I never liked sending Christmas Cards! Years ago, I finally said... Enough is enough. If this does not bring Joy, why do it?<br /><br />So I let everyone know, and ceased sending cards!<br /><br />The world didn't come to an end, and I had much more relaxing Christmas Times! -smile-<br /><br />Let everyone have the Holiday Time, which makes them the most content, is my view.<br /><br />Gentle hugs....<br /><br />Beside a babbling brook...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14230422491225783790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-80075028761100489242022-11-25T06:01:45.708-08:002022-11-25T06:01:45.708-08:00Oh dear, Jan!

(This afternoon is a doctor appointment to find out in full report of a MRI I had recently for a suspected compression fracture of all things.) <br /><br />You know, I think you're right, that is a cut glass serving plate the can of cranberry sauce slices are on. I just assumed it was silver but I always used to put my cranberry sauce in a cut glass bowl my mother gave me and was warned not to put it in while hot. I also just remembered a pot roast recipe I tried a time or two that called for a can of cranberry sauce stirred into the broth before making gravy. It did give it a little tang. <br /><br />A blessed Thanksgiving to you!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-52132490004304622512022-11-22T07:56:56.759-08:002022-11-22T07:56:56.759-08:00I love to make (and consume!) homemade cranberry s...I love to make (and consume!) homemade cranberry sauce. However, my family was raised on the canned gel variety, so that's what they prefer. I was, too, and it was served in a cutglass dish like the one in the photo. Which I still have, and that's how I serve it. I come from a family of card-senders, so I like sending and receiving them, for all holidays. If you send me your address, I'll surprise you on a holiday and send you one;) My email is in the 'About' section of my blog page. And no pressure to send me a Christmas card! lol!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147413132595250490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-42415149611690957772022-11-22T06:25:05.844-08:002022-11-22T06:25:05.844-08:00I didn't realize you could seal jars of it for...I didn't realize you could seal jars of it for use later!
