For those on island, don't forget the Cookie Exchange I'm hosting at the Kea'au Lighted Christmas Parade! Parade starts at 5:30pm and you may want to be there about an hour early to get a parking spot. I'll be set up in about the same area as last year(south side of the Old Volcano Rd just across the street from the Kea'au farmers market. If you have questions, post them here. I'll have 5 pop-up set up with light, several tables, and the camp stove for making HOT coco. Be sure to bring cookies to share and a container to take shared cookies home! Please bring YOUR OWN chair or you will have to sit on the curb. I just don't have enough room to supply chairs this year. The generator will be running to power the festive light and shine on all the great cookies I know YOU'LL MAKE. Bring your beverage of choice if you don't like coco. I know peppermint schnapps goes great in hot coco!! In the past people have brought other libations to share also. Hope to see you all there!!!
IT IS THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!!

Maybe I'll roll out some old fashioned gingerbread cookies and drop on by. I mostly do bread but I've been expanding into biscuits and pie lately so cookies aren't too far of a reach.

Will bring decaf coffee & spinach lasagna (colors are right - red, green & white!) & Jim is baking the cookies this evening...so....
All we need is to bring our chairs & selves & the stuffs above....
Although I would like some rain... NO RAIN FOR SATURDAY (until later in the night...or maybe really early in the morning...but not for the parade!)
ADDED: cooking up the lasagna for tommorrow, so bring your eating utensils & drinking cups & chairs..... & come out to see the BIG, BRIGHT TRUCKS! (and the lights, and the bands, and the Santas helpers...

I'll have the "Scuba Sunday" paper box there if anyone doesn't have eating utensils or plates. Also have several styrofoam cups.
As the parade will start at 5:30, you are more than welcome to show up early and have fun with others and talking story. I'll be there around 2-3:00 to set up and hang the Christmas lights!
Hope for a good turn out.... The weather has to be way mo betah than last year!!
Cheers!!
