So glad you have been off visiting..And home made fruit cakes is yummy..Randys aunt made it all the time..She use to get syringes from the hospital..Not used ones of course..!!!!!!!!  And inject the Brandy right into the cake..We use to laugh like crazy if we were over when she was doing it..!!!  Made the best cake ever..!!!!As well as super moist..!!  Not sure I can go back to the regular cake..!!!  Did get the last of the grocery shopping done this morning..Was p and out the door before 8:30 and finished shopping by 9.. In and out quick..The parking lot was starting to fill up by the time I got out of there..!!!!!  Town was nuts..!!  Even our little one..

Hi Patricia..Am realy pleased with the painting and it is finished now.. Was going to send a pictureof it anyway to show you what I was working on..Have already picked out what I will paint next.. It is one along the same trail.. I don't always walk along the River with the bear..I like to be up at Elk Flls and along the river that feeds it.. There are no fish there because of the falls and the dam..The fish can not make it up the falls. The picure I sent you does not give you the idea that it is probably 100feet down into the gorge from the top.. I was standing on the old platform Use to be the only way to see the fall and now they have built a suspention bridge over top so you can veiw it from above..  I love to go into the park..Also most tourists do not even know how to get down to it..!!!  They just to to the suspention bridge..  I don't like it to get down it is all metal stairs..Hard on my knees..!!!!!!!!   The other one is all trail.. The dirt trails are much easier on the knees for walking..!!! 

Alisha came over and the girls did some baking. I am going to head to Costco tomorrow and do a bit of last minute shopping.. You know because I am crazy and it woud be so much fun to be in a building with half of the town..LOL..LOL..LOL..  Eryn is going to stay with Alisha and if we can not find a parking spot I am out..!!!!  Randys' idea to head there..!!!  I have not seen Carol on at all. Must send her a message on messanger.. I do not even know if her Christmas gift made it..!!!   Not that I am looking for a thank you, just do not want her to think I have not been thinking of her..!!!  So glad you had a lovely time at the Carol program..And lunch out ..so nice..!!  We do not go out much as I seem to always have one or two kids hanging around.. Hoping that Rashad can get back into school so will have my days freer..!!!   Hope you have a wonderful day..Loads of Love and Hugs..  And am really happy that I can send pictures to you over what's app and not over the computer..!!!!!!!  Loads of Love and Hugs..XXXXXX

Hi Patricia..Well after the walk with the boys I did not do much today..A bit of laundry. Made sure the boys hit the shower..!!!!  That was a must..LOL..Both had a really good time..  Rashad is o hyper active it does him good to get out, but I certainly am not as fast as him so he just runs on ahead and circles back..I have been taking him on trails he does not know so he stays fairly close to me..  !!!!!!  We will do that trail again as it is one of my favorite ones anyway..  !!  It is along the River the feeds the falls.. The dam had opened up and was letting a huge amout of water through as the pictures showed you..!!!   The old look out we went to is not used very much..It was built in the 30s so is old and not everyone even knows how to get down to it..We wre the only ones at it.. I do like to be out by myself..
