You are welcome! Merry Christmas!
I just wanted to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and happy new year. I’m not in your age group at all. I’m 76 but I still enjoy your post. I feel like I have family. Your kids are so fantastic. Seem to be a great grandma. Enjoy Peggy Ann.
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas and Happy New. Year to you!
I am trying to give your cranberry/orange cake five stars but it won’t let me. Browser is safari. It doesn’t have any ratings, maybe that’s why. It’s wonderful and easy.
Oh no, I will look into this! Thank you for trying! Comments and reviews are SO helpful! I am so glad you loved the cake.
Hey girl- Great list! Love the pic of Caleb- so cool! Yummy food and cute clothes! Hope your feeling better Maria. Y’all have a blessed Christmas!!
