Christmas makings and sad news...

Still catching up on sharing my Christmas. One posting after this one to finally be caught up. At the end of this installment I have some very sad news to share.

I rushed home from my Christmas shopping trip to watch mom make some chocolate peanut clusters with Cocoa. Mom made us sit back, she wanted us to avoid chocolate paws. While we were drooling over the chocolate smell I could hear mom's embroidery machine running upstairs.
