Donuts

Commercials show donuts as the perfect food to destroy your diet, but do you remember how fun they were when you were a child.  You could eat them by taking a huge bite all the way to the hole, or loop them over your index finger and eat them in a circle.  My grandfather always recommended eating the hole first.

Grandpa loved to buy and share donut holes with us - glazed, cake with white powdered sugar or rolled in chocolate sprinkles.  Watch out!  Don't inhale the powder sugar.

My father on the occasions that he took me to school would stop at Lee's donuts to buy his favorite chocolate cake donuts with chocolate frosting.  He would buy me one with sprinkles.

And do you remember when Albertson's first moved to  town.  They had a donut machine that would make warm donuts while you watched.  Warm cake donuts with cinnamon and sugar.

I think on my way to work, I will stop to get a donut.  My favorite is a sugar donut.  Then I think that I will take a huge bite all the way to the hole.

Just so you know ~  I had my usual bowl of whole grain oatmeal for breakfast.  Oh, I wish I had thought to add sprinkles.

Unseasonably warm

Although it is winter, we are experiencing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above normal and so far very little snow.

I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas celebration and I am sending out best wishes for the New Year!  May the year 2012 bring you all many happy experiences!

I hope that it, 2012 will bring me a few wonderful experiences that I may share with you here on this blog.

White Christmas ?

A white christmas is not in the forecast for Ogden Canyon.  Sunshine and blue skies are forecast along with cold temperatures.

White Christmas?

Yesterday

Yesterday, we received a light dusting of snow.  Now the temperatures have turned cold, so I guess our dusting of snow will stay with us.  Not the white Christmas, of which we dream unless another storm hits before the 24th.

Last night, my friends and I attended a fundraiser and Christmas concert. Kurt Bestor, his friends, band and orchestra put on a lovely performance.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We have been decorating trees at my work for an open house on Friday, December 9th. Check out a few pictures at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150381747845736.340126.79845845735&type=3

Winds speeds bring destruction

Wow, what a day!  The high wind speed took down trees, took out power lines, and left Ogden in a mess.  In the canyon, we were with out electricity for around 8 hours.  Looking toward morning to see how the clean up has started.
