To all of you who were anxiously waiting for the next chapter of "My Summer in Pantyhose," mea culpa, mea culpa. Christmas Eve got away from me. It's a big cooking day and a lot of prep going on.

I should have posted in the morning before the rush of the day hit. But I remembered that there were a few things that didn't make it onto the shopping list and the Sentry Market in our town has a habit of closing at noon on Christmas Eve. So after breakfast I headed to the store.

I did spend a few minutes on the computer after coming back, but then got caught in the honey do list and from there to the baking and prep for side dishes to be finished this morning.

Before I knew it it was bedtime.

So, sorry to make you wait. Hopefully, Thursday, tomorrow, I'll post chapter 34 in a timely manner.
