The only decent photo I got from this year's Toy Run Parade, this bear was riding in a trailer pulled by one of the motorcycles and must have made some child very happy.
I am not sure about a Christmas posting schedule, but am in the middle of making Chicken Mole to stew away all day today for a small party of my work mates this afternoon... our two week winter break starts today, and none too soon.
I will spend the day finishing out the month's paperwork and moving furniture for the carpet cleaner, tomorrow at the LYS on one of the busiest shopping days this year, then look forward to a weekend of cooking, family and fun. DH and I have a trip over to his parents planned for Christmas Day and the rest of next week, so posting will be sporadic... I want to wish all a peaceful Winter Solstice and a Merry Christmas.
