Woke up to find several stocking orders this morning. Guess what I'll be doing today. :) Little Maddie McDoogle will be here soon. I'll get her to help me. She started on cereal today so she should have lots of energy.

It's funny how people seem to start gearing up for Christmas in mid-October. I know that October 15 is when I start looking at my plans. It always seems so early, but the next thing I know it's the middle of December and I'm behind the eight ball. Not this year. (Of course I say that every year.)

Today I'm going to test a new fudge flavor. We usually stick to our basics, but this one sounded really good for fall - Pumpkin Pie. Anna is gong to take some to work where there are lots of willing taste testers.

The time frame for our CD is October 13-20 so they should be arriving any day now!

Tuesday of the Twenty-eighth week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Edward the Confessor
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11:37-41.

After he had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal. The Lord said to him, "Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.
