We have had very unusual weather here! Starting last evening, it’s poured down rain here, and they got heavy snow in the mountains around here. There was lightning and thunder last evening along with heavy winds. Excitement! And then today there was some water in the washes!
This morning we had cereal and then did computer work till noon. I was working on my email inbox, getting it down to 50 items! I'm working toward getting it all caught up, and then keeping on top of it in the New Year. 10 is my goal.

Hiking the Pontatoc Ridge Trail
The cranberry relish was delish! I waited till it cooled before adding the celery and nuts. The dinner was a real feast, with tasty and beautiful food for all.
Today I went with ten other members of the Hiking Club to the Pontatoc Ridge Trail. It was 5.2 miles total, and a fine, challenging, and beautiful hike! We got to the trailhead by going to Skyline and then

After the hike, I came back here to find that Michael had done a load of laundry. He also investigated the Fitness Room here at the Village, spending some time on the stationary bike.
He and I had lunch, showered, and then went for his blood drawing. His numbers are still remaining pretty good at this point.
Then I drove him up to north Alvernon to show him Finger Rock and the trail where we had hiked. Good time.. good day!

Merry Christmas Eve! Today I walked to the Sunflower Market for a muffin and bearclaw! You know that it's going to be a good day when it starts like that!
Today I made cranberries for our Village Holiday Dinner tomorrow. I'm going to add celery and walnuts, but here's what it looked like when I was boiling the cranberries with the sugar-water:
In case the recipe turns out good, here's what I did:
Janee's Cranberry Relish
Boil for 5 mins, stirring occasionally:
2 C sugar
2 C water
Wash, pick through, and add
4 C cranberries
Boil 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Cranberries will pop!
Cool a bit and then pour into bowl and refrigerate.
Stir in
1C walnuts
1C chopped celery
