One of the cardinal rules in The Grandmother's Handbook is that a grandmother MUST always make Christmas cookies with her grandchildren.
It's in the chapter entiltled "Building Precious Christmas Memories" in case you missed it.
And since I was reared to follow the rules ALWAYS, tonight Kenzie, Bailey, and I made holiday cookies.Â
They had great fun helping cut them out, frost them, and decorate them. Actually, we made some for Kenzie to take to her class tomorrow as well as some for home.
While we were making the cookies, Bailey turned to me and said, "You look just like the perfect grandma with your apron, your nose with a fleck of flour on it as you take cookies from the oven, and the laugh lines beginning to form in your face. The only thing missing," she added, " is the white hair."
"Well, thank you, hon. I consider that a high compliment."
When we finished, we went to the mall, ate, and did a little shopping. It is always a treat when the three of us do things exclusively without Mom and Dad.
Holly's company was having a celebratory dinner tonight over some big case that it had settled. Several people were flying in from the New York office for it. I wish I had taken a picture of Holly and Bevan before they left. She looked like a million dollars in an off- the-shoulders-holiday blouse and "after-five" black pants.
I'll be spending the night because Holly has another function tomorrow night in Waco. The primary job of the Waco location is reburbishing and rebuilding aircraft for both the private and public sector.
She was telling me that her company had just landed the contract to redo the interior of a 747 for the Sultan of Brunei. Her company has a twenty-year-history with the Sultan, but this will be one of the biggest projects they have done for him.Â
They will "gut" the interior, install a luxury bedroom, lounge, office and bathrooms with solid gold fixtures. Expense, obviously, is of no concern. He wants opulence in every feature.
we missed.
