Next Day Latte

After enjoying a hot peppermint mocha, what usually remains is what I call coffee SLUDGE.
With the sludge, I make another latte for the next day.  I add some fresh milk, a  little sugar, stir it up, and put it in the fridg for what Mr. Isaacs calls, my  NEXT DAY LATTE.

Woke up this morning to retrieve the morning newspaper, and was greeted with a smile of SNOW!

Deck the Halls 2011

 The Halls are finally decked, and I'm  pooped!   Mr. and Mrs. Clause, with their waving hands, and lite-up faces, once again take center stage adorning the bay window, awaiting the kiddies oohs and  ahhhs.   Once again, I have managed to show little restraint, decorating the Christmas tree, with its fully loaded branches doing their darn est to endure the weight of a Mad Collector's 30 year ornament collection.  The fireplace mantle is draped with garland, stuffed with embellishments,  and aglow with frosty pine cone lights.  During the Christmas Season, the cardinal red table cloth dresses the formal dining table, as it has done for years.  It's my  favorite decor of Christmas.  Centered on the table is a spread of greenery,  accompanied by a collection of candles and porcelain birds.

 Well, we did it!  Another year of,  Decking The Halls!  Hoping yours was as exhausting and memorable as mine!  Now, back to the hustle & bustle of finding perfect gifts, & finalizing the Christmas Dinner Menu.....

                              ****** MERRY CHRISTMAS   ******
