Christmas 2009


HO, HO, HO!




Merry, Merry from Texas!




I hope everyone had a delightful Christmas Day. This longhorn resides above my close friend's mantel year round, but is always decked out in special holiday greens this time of year. So I thought you might like to see a little Texas Christmas humor for Pink Saturday. I don't think Beverly will mind since she said we could "fudge" a little during the holidays.



But just to be on the safe side, have a peppermint almond macaroon before you leave. They're filled with chocolate mousse, and oh so delicious! And they are perfect for a Pink Saturday!!!



Please do leave me a comment before clicking yourself over to Beverly's @ How Sweet the Sound.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    Happy Pink Saturday, Sarah. I must admit the longhorn looks not only quite festive, but lovely, too. Do you think a longhorn would mind being called lovely?

    Now about those macaroons. I would like one right now to have with my coffee.

    The longhorn is fab, just so Texas!
    The macaroons look meltingly gorgeous, wish you could pop one in the post to Normandy.
