~ Greetings and Warm Welcome to my blog on Merry Day 3 ~
On Merry Day 2....
I was in my kitchen doing this until 9 p.m. on Merry Day 1:
Then on Merry Day 2 until around 8 p.m. I was transforming the above shapes into:
St. Nicholas!
I have promised a couple of dozen to family that I will send in the mail as soon as I get them packaged. And the rest is then reserved for me to carry around in my basket on Dec. 6 (St. Nicholas' Feast Day) and I will pass them out to random strangers as a "random act of kindness". Just to make someone smile.
Do you know the story of St. Nicholas? The True St. Nicholas - who of course evolved over the years into Santa? Instead of my poor words on this great saint, let me instead point you in the right direction:
So merry Day 3 has started, I've had my coffee and now I am off to:
1. package up my St. Nick's
2. make 150-200 the yeast rolls I gave the recipe for HERE
Tonight at our church we are having a dinner and dance in celebration of our 50th anniversary.
I was asked to make yeast rolls and cupcakes.
After yesterday's cookie icing that took 12+ hours to complete - I am exhausted (and I ache all over).
I have to make the yeast rolls, but the cupcakes I purchased...I couldn't make them for as cheap as they were at Sam's. 30 of them for $15.98.... I bought 120 - that quantity along with the other desserts that are going to be there - should be more than plenty. I'm tired.
I'm tired! hey I'm admitting it....I'm getting old.
And I have to drudge up some enthusiasm to make all these rolls.
HA HA HA!
In the spirit of sharing, caring and spreading love and grace - like good 'ol St. Nick...
I think I can make these rolls with gladness!
May it be so!
Merry Day 3!
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Vonna xxxx

Vonna dear ~ You are a marvel of blessings to others. Not surprising that you are "tired", but I imagine you are at peace in following His
