The Sisters Are Coming!

It's fruitcake making weekend, and my sisters are on their way to my house! If I've been quiet this week it's because I am getting ready for the fun to begin. I've bought baking supplies, planned meals, cleaned, planned where everyone will sleep (this is a small house!) and probably driven my husband mad.

Five of my seven sisters will be here, along with my aunt, two or three granddaughters and maybe my great-granddaughter. Lots of female energy will be floating around and Larry says he's heading for the high country.

Here's a photo from one of our fruitcake days several years ago when all 8 of us were able to be together:


Good times ahead!

  2. This sounds like the very best kind of fun! I only have three sisters, but when we all get together we have a ball.

    Enjoy yourselves...I know you will.

  3. I'm so happy for you! I only have one sister and she doesn't bake, cook, craft or any of those other fun things so we don't do things together. Sounds like a fun weekend to come! Hope you'll post photos soon.

  6. Still nibbling on the fruitcakes my wife made 15+ years ago and may even have a couple of her father's around.

    Moisten them yearly with a bit of brandy, wrap them well and seal them up and they last forever. Too rich to mold or spoil and so rich a serving is a 1/2" slice.

    If you're not into fruitcakes, they make a great paperweight. :-D

    Enjoy the making and the company and have a great Christmas.
