It was bigger than it looked, so I divided it and had dessert two days in a row. I actually prefer the tiny ones.

That's the kind of thing I do. It's so easy to overlook what's right in front of us. And even small microwaves take up a lot of space. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy those beautiful pies.

We had a couple of days where I had to lower the awning and one where the breeze was hot, but overall it has been very comfortable weather. <br />Hie thee to the kitchen, maid and bake!

Merry Christmas.<br /><br />Delores; it certainly was and I'm glad I don't have to do it again until next December. Merry Christmas.<br /><br />Joanne; he's pretty smart. knows exactly when I'm about to get up and do something important, and jumps up for a cuddle so I'm stuck there.
