There are plenty of geese that are wintering over near the creek.
There were only a few of us that showed up. I don't know what kept others away but it was their loss. We had a great time and CC had the house beautifully decorated. Here's what I ended up with. Mine were the Knuckleballs, top left. (Recipe below)
CC made these yummy peanut butter cup cookies. We keep them on a seperate plate because Liz can't have them.
The sunset was beautiful on the way home. I stopped north of Mexico to take this picture. It doesn't capture the beauty of the evening very well.

ReplyDeleteRon loved your Knuckleballs and he had no idea who made them. Good thing I have the recipe! You are his favorite sister in law between geneology research search and cookies he likes!
