Some of Us are Sick


A few days before we left New York, Kathy came down with something.  Probably a flu, given the symptoms.  She wore a mask the whole time of the trip and the flight and was starting to feel better after we arrived.  But then I didn't feel well, a day after we arrived, and it felt as if I had the flu, with my nose running like a faucet, and my skin hurting, and all I wanted to do was take naps which I did.  So four days later I am beginning to feel just a bit better, and yesterday, Amy started to feel poorly.  So she took naps when she could, which is not easy with Vivian wanting to be with her all the time.  We have been wearing masks around the house, and so far, Liz and Sarah have avoided our fate.


So today we all went over to Amy and Gus' home and Kathy and Liz started making gingerbread for cookies and of course Vivian was really excited and wanted to be a part of it all.  Here they have rolled out the gingerbread dough, and Vivian has placed cookie cutters all over the rolled out dough before separating each cookie.  Then the cookies were transferred to a cookie sheet for baking.  The gingerbread cookies are delicious!


Somehow last night I forgot to include this photograph!  I had selected it and worked on it and cropped it and then when posting the other two, left this behind!  I think it is cute because you can see Vivian kneeling on the bench in order to work on the cookies.

I am sorry to hear so many of you are not feeling well. The 3 generations (I know Auntie) baking Christmas cookies is what it is all about! Love this photo. Hope Amy feels better quickly.

Sorry that you & Kathy were sick and now Amy is sick. No fun at all. Hope everyone stays healthy for the rest of the holiday. Love the photo of Kathy, Liz and Vivian baking Gingerbread cookies. Someday, she will follow the same traditions…Betsey

Sorry to hear some of you have been sick. The photo is adorable of Vivian with Amy. She looks so sweet waiting by Amy to wake up. Nice photo, too, of Liz, Aunt Kate and Vivian. Looks like Chef Vivian and her assistants. Trace
