I ran by the Jewel to pick up additional baking supplies for some things that we are making for the New Year's Eve party that we're going to tonight. While on my way to the Osco side to pick up additional Fisherman's Friend for Gretchen, I found a Christmas item that was greatly marked down from its original $21.99 price to $5.49 and decided that I should pick it up.

I am told that Ruby the Dog was greatly interested in interfering with the cupcake baking going on in the kitchen before I returned. The three-foot long rawhide bone has proven to be a perfect distraction for her. :)
