Please do not wake me!

After playing with the beach ball and riding bikes with Susannah, board games were a welcomed relief for my tired feet and legs!

Susannah asked for multicolored nails with sparkles. That girl knows how to ROCK!

This is Scottie Jackson who is an interim assistant coordinator of animal care for the Coosa River Science School located in Columbiana, Alabama. She is showing us Riscky, a Eurasian Eagle Owl.

"Riscky, named after 'Riscky’s' restaurant in Ft. Worth, Texas, hatched at the
WORLD Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis, Missouri in 2005. She was reared in
captivity for use in education programs at the Kelley Bartlett Conservancy in
Pike Road, AL from just a few days old and joined the 4-H Center in 2008.
Eurasian Eagle Owls are native to Northern Europe and Asia and are the
largest owls in the world. They will consume prey as large as they are,
including a young deer if the opportunity arises."

My sister Janice surprised me with 4 boxes of Nurnberger Lebkuchen for Christmas. With 7 cookies per package, we will treat ourselves on special occasions to a delightful "taste" of Germany, one of the most awesome countries in the world. Thanks, sis!!! You ROCK~

My son Samuel helped fill a gift basket with speciality items. He knows that I cherish my quiet time with a cup of something hot and comforting like this really delicious white hot chocolate mix made even more decadent by adding a large spoonful of Ghirardelli classic white chocolate morsels!

Now, I'm going to drink the hot white chocolate and put these cookies in the freezer with the others, just waiting for that time in the coming months when only Lebkuchen will make things right!
