I am not used to seeing it rain here in December. I decided I am NOT a fan of it either and that it is no fun. I want snow. I was so happy to see a little snow this morning when I woke up. It was very wet though and soon turned into blasted rain. Ugly rain. It has not stopped.
It was an evening of Christmas shopping tonight! My most favorite kind of shopping too. Midnight Madness it is called, done at the store, the lone American store here on base. Can’t pass a sale up, especially here. It started at 8pm. Many people showed up hoping to get some good deals. There were some to be found.
I then came home and baked cookies! Today’s cookie is one of Daniel’s favorites! I have to admit I really love the yummy, buttery butterscotch smell that gets stronger as the cookies bake. He always love to eat a few, fresh from the hot oven and I can not blame him!
