Hi Biz. It is good to hear from you. I am recovering from foot surgery (4
weeks ago) so I am house bound for at least another couple weeks. I will not
be back to work for a while. It was wonderful to finally meet you in
Creemore. Save some of the cider for Mark and me!!!

Margie

Season's Greetings to all.



My days of "radio silence" are now finally over. The quilts and final
manuscript for my latest book were sent last week and real life has resumed.
Thank goodness for two entire weeks before Christmas and the holidays arrive.
There are wonderful pictures from our September Apple Festival and other
orchard pics, waiting in my camera to be shared, so that is planned for quiet
days in January. Fortunately, there's a rumor that Santa is going to arrange
for a lesson on how to get things from the camera memory card into the
computer and on to our screens to be enjoyed. I do hope he doesn't forget.



The good news is that my best half has five carboys of cider, fermenting
away, so we should start having taste tests soon to see when they're ready to
bottle. Many of our neighbours offered me apples from their trees, so they
will certainly get a few bottles come spring. Another cider lover I spoke
with gathers his apples from the local back roads and laneways that run
between the fields. Like a fisherman with his favorite fishing hole, this
fellow has a map of his favorite cider trees - minimal amounts of pest
damage, etc. He goes with the theory that terrible tasting apples make for
great cider, so we are going to exchange a few bottles and compare our
results. He still won't tell me which roads he gathers from.



In the meantime, a friend sent me this lovely singing message ( see below ),
and I just had to send it along for more folks to enjoy. Merry Christmas and
Happy Hanukah, and a safe and fruitful New Year for everyone.



Cheers, Bizmark.

The song was originally recorded by the Drifters in 1954.

Turn the volume up - these reindeer can sing.
