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!

Sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the very best kind of fun! I only have three sisters, but when we all get together we have a ball.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourselves...I know you will.
=)
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.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! Your fruitcake is so special because of the love and laughter included ;-)
ReplyDeleteStill nibbling on the fruitcakes my wife made 15+ years ago and may even have a couple of her father's around.
ReplyDeleteMoisten 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.
And it was a very special time, full of memories, laughter and good conversation. Thank you Sue, for the beautiful weekend. tm
ReplyDeletePeaked at your schedule and I think you must be on the road. Hope you are having a good time and collecting more tales to tell. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tradition. I've been enjoying your blog so much today - it all sounds like such fun!
