Weeeeell, Santa was really good to me this year!
I received some Longlife Camping lantern candles(thanks Max!)
Some new gardening tools.
A new coldframe
A coldframe/greenhouse heater.
And Finally.........A KINDLE!!! Woohoo!(it's charging now)
So what did everyone else get?
I bought myself a camera..
This may sound silly, but the thing that I'm most excited about is a toaster oven. (It's the one thing, that I really asked for.)
I'm looking forward to toasting sammich's, with out having to use the big oven. I wonder if I can do roast and stuff like that, in it. I cook smaller stuff, cuz I just cook for two. (Sometimes just for me. LOL)
oh they are GREAT, I use one all the time,,, from toasting sandwiches to broiling meat,,, they are awesome !Quote:

That will be refreshing,, I had a full leg cast for awhile and you are right, That hot shower will be the best you ever had ! :)Quote:

i hear you guys; when i had my arm broken, getting the cast off and getting to wash the smell of death off my arm was one of the happiest moments of my life.
I got my present yesterday: for a good fifteen minutes, I was able to watch a wolf out on the lake :)
Unfortunately, my howling is still terrible - it made him sit down and probably wonder what on earth I was saying, but he didn't howl back. Very handsome animal, dark gey-brownish with a lot of light-coloured markings on his throat, legs, belly and underside of his tail.
Not seeing anything under the tree I went out to check the roof. There were some big boot prints leading up to chimney and what appeared to be a note hanging from the side. I carefully climbed up to check almost falling in the process only to realize it was just a few pieces of used toilet paper. wawawawa!
My gift will be spending time with family and friends.
Must have been a prowler !Quote:

I got a spare battery for my camera
An inversion table
Our kids bought us a new 1080P big screen TV (I guess our living room TV was too old for them).
Clothes, coffee cup with my GD pictures on it.
Oh, and a subscription to Dave Canterbury's magazine "Self Reliance Illustrated".
A t-shirt that reads "This is what a really cool grandpa looks like!" :banana:
Having the granddaughter with us was the best present and gave us all smiles to spare!
:) :) :) :)
I don't know what gift could be better than watching Christmas spark magic for young children. I love thinking back over the holidays when my family was together.
Santa did not bring me much, but I am home and have a job. Don't really want a whole lot more than that.
Oops, I almost forgot. My MIL did buy us a nice, big, flat screen TV. Kids sure enjoy it for their video games. :)
2 pairs socks (diabetes socks, wtm?)
2 flashlights
gel soap
shavin gel
razers (mabe i should use them?
notepad
pens
electrical tape
all i can eat today

T shirts, underwear and cologne. And last night and this morning spent watching the faces of the kids opening presents and the look of awe and wonder on their faces :)
And a partridge in a pear tree....
you two should shower together, ya know to conserve water.Quote:

Oh; and i got the lady the deepfrier she's been wanting, so we can try deep fried pickles and so we'll eat more onion rings.
that looks like quite a nice dutch oven, and case knives are always nice.
The boys got me a new Thermos and travel cup. The wife bought all three of us boys remote controlled helicopters. These are fun. Then my wife bought me a cast iron hand crank meat cuber. Oh yeah!

It's great for the kids but I'm not a kid any more and I didn't want them wasting money on me. What I did received was....
Brunch with the family.
Great fun watching the grandkids open presents.
The family sang happy birthday to Jesus.
A nap.

SD, nice! You musta been a good boy this year!
Just pulled it out of the oven. I used Rick's recipe,but I goofed. I didn't pay attention to the cans of peaches and these were packed in pear juice, instead of in syrup.... good but the peaches are tart.Quote:

Yep, some blended whisky too for the egg nog of course. Window cleaner is for the monitor LOL
My wife bought sliced apples in water for my apple cobbler. It was all they had.
So, now I have to figure out if I can do something to use them.
What are you making the cobbler in?
I made it in the Dutch oven of course... I said I was going to use it Christmas Day!! Well I did too!!Quote:

I had a long phone call with my mother who missed Christmas with us (she remarried and moved to Texas several years ago). and spent most of the day with my brother and his family, my BIL and his girlfriend and my in-laws. I talked the DW into making a "traditional lemon meringue Christmas pie" and had the best ham dinner sence last Christmas...a fine day indead!
I meant Batch. I was wondering what he was going to make the apple cobbler in. Probably done by now.
Kindle, and some quality tools to add to the collection.
I got 3,000 primed .223 brass and 3,000 62grain bullets. So now I have to dump some powder and seat some bullets.
I received some very useful things ,
A gerber gator machete
A colapsable 5 gallon water jug
A real tree camo jacket
A folding handle backpack cooking pan
Wow nice little present enjoy!!!Quote:
