Tootsie Turds and other fun!


Last week was the Lloyd Family Christmas Party. We had to take some white elephant gifts to exchange. One of our gifts was this wonderful plate of Tootsie Turds...have you ever made them? Yum! Take a package of Tootsie Rolls, unwrap them, place them on a plate in the microwave for about 30 seconds on high. When done warming you can mold them into the shape of a turd...add a few corn nuts or peanuts for visual effect, place them back into the package they came in. Just right for giving to your favorite pal...or not...

Santa's reindeer rested in our backyard the night before Christmas Eve. Here's a picture of where they bedded down for quite a while. We didn't see them that night, but on Christmas Eve there were 7 deer in our backyard, 5 does and 2 babies. It was pretty cool!


And last but certainly not least, here are a couple of pictures of what Santa brought me this year. I can't fully say that I'm enjoying it..yet...I'm so used to a mouse and an ergonomic keyboard...so let's just say that I'm using my learning curve right now. It's nice to sit here on my couch and surf though...



Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas. Happy New Year!

Glad you got a new toy with a learning curve too!
Have you moved into your new place yet? Your pics look great. I still LOVE your old place though.
Happy holidays.

When you do a Messenger chat, there's an icon to turn on the webcam. Don't know if you remember....I used mine in your house to show DH??
