Today is December 1, 2008
This is the beginning of the last month of the year 2008. This is the end of the 2008 hurricane season. This is also cyber Monday, the online shopping discount day. Also, 25 days until Christmas day which will probably be celebrated over at my sister's house. My sister has her artificial tree up. I didn't locate the lights in the boxes she brought, but she said the lights were in the boxes. She will have to be the one to put up the lights and other decorations. Mom and I will be there just to enjoy the view. This is a picture of the first keylime pie mom made with the small keylimes from the little keylime tree located outside in a pot. I enjoyed a couple of slices and it tasted real good. My sister Glendon said she wants one for Christmas. I guess we may have to buy the keylime juice at the store, if we don't get anymore keylimes from our tree. The crust looks like you could almost just dive into the pie. This isn't the kind of pie you would use to give someone a pie in the face. The material is too good to throw away on just one person. Mom also cooked a roast which we have leftovers for roast beef sandwiches. The night before mom and I left Glendon's place and the first night we came home, I pointed out to mom the alignment of two stars in the evening sky. They were brilliantly bright right at sunset. However, the stars seemed to be in slightly different locations from Glendon's place to the beach house. The two stars were suppose to be the two planets Venus and Jupiter. The news about the alignment was on the Internet. Mom figures this must mean something good because it seems like such a positive sign. I am getting into the Christmas music for the 25 day period. I am also looking forward to working on sending out Christmas cards. I would like to write a little inside the card and maybe send a picture or two. I like to send the personal touch, so our friends will think kindly of us the rest of the year. I also would like to find some time to recall Christmas in the past. I would like to remember people I treasured in my heart and the special times we had together. Plus, I want to create some new memories with people I got around me.

That pie does look good, like something you see a picture of in a cooking book (a perfect pie). She had her baking time just right. I noticed on meringue pies that sometimes the little peaks can get burnt. Your mom's pie has a nice even golden brown all over. And the meringue, how long did it take her to whip it up like that? Save the seeds from the key limes so that your sister can plant them and grow her own lime tree. All of her plants seem to do so well. Today may be cyber Monday but I am going to go shopping the old fashioned way. I resisted going on Friday or this weekend because of the crowds. Today I shouldn't have to stand in long lines. When I do cyber shop I usually do it with WalMart because you can use their gift cards like a credit card. That way I don't have to give out my credit card over the internet, I just buy a gift card at the store. If you pick up the item at the store, then there isn't any shipping charges. A good deal because the on-line selection at WalMart is so much greater than the selection in the store. Don't procrastinate, get your Christmas shopping done early to avoid the panic of last minute shopping. Have a nice day and enjoy the cool weather and the key lime pie (it looks really good). Lew
