Marmalade Makin' Mama

The title of this blog is compliments of Kara's creativity. Credit
given where credit us due!

I got busy making my annual batch(es) of jam yesterday. I did a double
batch in TN at Thanksgiving. Yesterday I did 4 batches. I have enough
cranberries left to do 2 more batches. So I will have done 8 batches
when all is said and done.

How can it taste just as good every year? I don't know, but I'll keep
making the annual cranberry banana marmalade until that changes!

I just wish all of you were here to enjoy some!

It's begining to look . . .

a lot like Christmas at the Miller home. Kara and I decorated as soon
as we returned from Tenessee (literally as soon as!). Thought you
might like to see what our place looks like.

It has been a flurry of activity since. Most of the Christmas shopping
is done. I just need to get my annual letter out now. I will have a
few extra days off over the holidays, including time the first week of
Jan when Kevin, Jenn and the girls will be here! Can hardly wait. You
can tell what is Emery's under the tree because all her things are
wrapped in Disney Princess wrap. :-)

On our way home :-(

What fun we had! It's hard to leave. But we are on our way home. We
will board here in Nashville in a few minutes. So glad they come to
Albuquerque in month! :-D

I am thankful . . . .

for grand-daughters!

We are on our way!

Shari got us to the airport in great time. We will soon board!
Clarksville - here we come!

Thanksgiving!

We are bringing treats to share at work next week. So I had fun making
something traditional to the Miller family tonight. Had my Christmas
music going too! Emery and I will have fun making these in Tennessee
on Thursday! I've never packed Oreos before. I love fun traditions.
Maybe packing Oreos will be a new tradition!

Costume day

Friday we were supposed to dress up like a patient. Since most of ours
are pregnant, I really had no choice! It gave me great empathy for the
9 months Jenn just went through. After 8 hours I was really tired of
being pregnant!
