#6 is not showing their identity

First I'd like everyone to have a "Merry Christmas" and enjoy your family..
and friends....
I'd like to have a Merry Christmas present...would someone be kind enough to tell me how to get rid of the "mystery follower" that is following my blog and when I try to see who it is , ......I'm led to a site I don't care to view...I'm having enough trouble with my computer ,than have to suffer someones idea of a prank!....They are Posting senseless comment's on my blog, which somehow I can't delete!

and now "Back to the Vacation"


Here is what a Storm brewing in the west looks like! kind of scary when the sky looks so tremendous and frightening...as if it could suck you up with one whiff!
There wasn't much lightening or thunder noise..but I was glad to get out of it's way! A car was no place to be for me at that time...we made it to safety inside the mall...there were many people shopping for Christmas, you wouldn't think there was a recession , ...

Houses ,Houses , Houses...

I thought this was a lovely site I'd like to see again...

Look at all the houses built so close to the mountains

People love the weather and that's why they have come to this place.....
If you do a close up , it's a better view of them...

Flowers in Arizona still in Bloom Thanksgiving"



The weather had been getting cold in NC...and we felt as if we had missed the whole summer...since we both were ill in July...by the time we gained enough strength for the trip it was still good weather in Arizona...I took a couple of shots of flowers that were still in bloom and it's the beginning of their Winter.

I'm interrupting the Vacation pictures for a minute


To give a News Flash:

North Carolina has Snow! Just about Six inches last count and it's still coming down...:o)

Maybe it will help some of us who have these bad colds..I hate to say it , but it seemed as if I had that HINI bug...I had all the symtoms of it that they gave out on the news..

Anyway I decided to stay in and do some baking, different activity than in the young days :o)..best thing at my age to do :o) for now anyway!! LOL

I've been dying to try this Rugelach recipe from the "Barefoot Contessa"

and I must say it turned out pretty good, what your looking at is half of them...Cecil enjoyed them with a glass of milk...I had a sody :o)

A nice Pound Cake to Boot!

Then I decided to make a plain pound cake I hadn't made one of them in a long time..I was too busy making Carrot, Orange Marmalade and all the other interesting cakes...
This one turned out nice and high and tasted worthy of the effort...
I'm not expecting anyone, but just in case ...I'll have a little taste of a treat..

Just a foreword:

Of course I got the pictures A@# backwards again...but at least I was able to put them on the blog...every picture took two or three times editing...I don't know if it's the computer or me...I'd rather blame it on the computer. :o)...anyway you should enjoy one or two of them...I've got lots more to share...and I'll keep them coming as long as I can ...Do a close up and you will be able to see and get more out of them...
