    Jeanette......I realized with the recipe that the coffee cans aren't 1lb anymore
    so I used 4 of them. I also toasted the pecans first.....they taste better.

    HELLO -

    Checking in to say Howdy... and..

    Something on my mind.....

    I feel awful that I am not able to appropriately
    THANK YOU for my gift. I realize it's a week
    today that I received it -

    I know I've 'informally' touched base with two
    or three of you... But please -- I am not being
    ungrateful, I am waiting for Terry to get home
    to her list (if she can find it) LOL Terry - i said
    with love. Have a safe trip home.



    CAROL - Welcome to the blog. I see you were
    able to get back on. I know I owe you a call, Frank
    said you called. I was out gallivanting this morning.


    SUZIE- Guess what Frank is doing??
    He's making his stuffing balls (not stuffing
    his balls). You should try either one this year.
    :lol:

    We are having a Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow
    with some friends - since we're going out on
    turkey-day. I'll let you know how they come out
    LOL. Fun memory... Many laughs .......... xxxx


    WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY WEEKEND -
    PRAYING FOR ALL YOUR MOMS, DADS
    AND FAMILY... AND OF COURSE SNOWBALL.

    LOVE & GOD BLESS YOUR DAY!

    Za & Mom
