      Thanks for stopping by Michelle- I love those sugar cubes….where did you find them?

      susan’s last blog post..A Few of our Christmas Eve Goodies…

      I updated the post with a link to the site with the sugar cubes–I had it up on the Flickr page but forgot to do it here. Aren’t they precious?!

      Ah Michelle, Hope you and P had a wonderful Christmas and that the New Year brings you both much happiness.
      Wishing for Peace too from us, here in good old Pennsylvania where we got soaked last night from the rain -going into church -but thankfully, didnt get snowed or iced in or out! Counting one blessing with that, for sure!

      Lots of ice my family’s way…my brother worked Christmas Eve clearing roads for PennDOT, but sounds like they all had a good time anyway :)
