When I ran across Ting A Lings, the name caught my attention with visions of swirly skirts, pillbox hats and pearls, straight from a Fifties movie. I knew this would have to be a part of this year's Christmas Treats. I did a little research and, sure enough, Ting A Lings were a Fifties thing. Originally, Wheaties provided the crunch stirred into melted chocolate. Someone replaced the cereal with crunchy chow mein noodles and Ting A Lings would never be the same. Numerous variations have been shared, but the enchanting name remains. Quick to make, topped with colorful sprinkles and with their unique taste and crunchy texture, they add charm to any collection of Christmas treats. This recipe could be called 1-2-3 Ting A Lings. 1 cup nuts, 2 cups white chocolate and 3 cups chow ... [Read More]

I love looking out the dining room window at the "Best of Neighborhood" display in the next cul de sac with sparkling white lights on everything that does not move. Evening walks this time of year are full of light and good cheer. Entire houses outlined with lights, some flashing in elegant waltz time, others frentic. Tiny lighted trees on porches. Rotating snowflake and reindeer lights on garage doors. A single porch light or darkness now and then says we don't all celebrate in the same way or the same things but we are all part of the neighborhood. May your week bring joy to your heart and, above all, peace. Thanks for stopping by to share your great posts!

I am thankful for Thanksgiving! We joined lots of people -- all related -- and enjoyed the food they brought -- in baking pans, platters, paper plates and casseroles. The game players settled in one room; the talkers in another, with lots of laughter in both. More people stopped by to say hi and stay awhile, others left early laden with food samples, with plans to drive through two states before daylight Friday. Whatever shape your holiday, may pleasant memories continue to warm your heart! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!

-9 degrees in November!! Bytes is spending the weekend with cousins on Wheel's branch of the family tree, camping out in the old (and cold) family farm house for their annual get-together. And we're all looking forward to my family's Annual Gather Eat Laugh and Talkfest on Thanksgiving Day at Gina's House. Should be about 40 degrees warmer by then! May you have a restorative holiday whatever the company or circumstances! Thanks for stopping by this week!

My deepest apologies for going missing! We helped Nate the Great (nephew) celebrate his mom’s wedding with four days of family togetherness. Spent time with my sisters, a brother and their spouses with much laughter, teasing and catching up on the last five years over pizza, wedding cake and motel breakfasts. The wedding was beautiful and we saw other relatives and friends for the first time since the pandemic. It was wonderful!! It was not until we were back home that I realized I had not published the linky features last week. I am so sorry for the inconvenience to you and I am so glad that you are back this week!
