... because Tuesday is our library day, and we came home with a new selection of Christmasy books.
... because I got a big stack (though not all) of our Christmas cards mailed out. This is high on the list of miracles for me, no kidding.
... because we have the best music playing through the house. Here are a few of our favorites:
... because my brand-new candy thermometer and stainless steel pot came through for me. My candy jar is full to overflowing with caramels now. Yummmm...
1 cup butter or margarine
1 pound brown sugar
dash salt
1 cup light corn syrup
1 can eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt butter in heavy 3 qt. pan. Add sugar and salt; stir thoroughly. Stir in corn syrup; mix well. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Cook and stir over med. heat to firm ball stage (245), for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour into buttered 9x9 pan. Cool and cut into squares.
... because today I didn't hydroplane into a curb, and today I didn't wreck one of our tires and a hub and the frame under the car, and today I didn't have to call my hubby to come rescue us. That was yesterday, thank you.
... because our little accident yesterday was so very minor, and we're safe and are able to enjoy our happy today. And so we are.
Yipa!!! How's the car now?

First of all, let me say how much it boggles my mind that you've actually been updating your blog lately.
Secondly, do you wonder what the neighbors think of That Crazy Woman Next Door That Takes Pics of Her Mailbox?
