The following morning, we up eating egg nog waffles with thick smoked bacon with a side cut fruit from another country. Cindy made her coffee outside, and we had our glass of egg nog. They did the cleaning, and we left to the grocery store to stock up on egg nog before the store ran out. It was cold and raining. Cindy drove us in her BMW. Julia states her family went back home. I asked Cindy to stop at the women's shelter. I was still learning where things were located in Seattle. I didn't always like relying on my navigation system in my vehicles. I quickly learned they weren't always correct. I had a check written for them for Christmas. I had spoken to the director and told her I would drop a check off so the employees could go buy gifts for their women and any children they may have with them. We finally arrived, and we all got out. When we entered the business building we went to the receptionist. She recognized them and said hello. I introduced myself and informed her I spoke to the director, and I wanted the funds from check to buy gifts for the women and any children with them. The lady asked if I wanted a letter. I asked her to please mail it to the address on my check. I still had checks with the Ruiz address. She thanked me and told us goodbye and enjoy the upcoming holidays. We all tell her the same. We all got back in her beamer and ran because the rain was coming down hard.
" I would like to throw a party at my house for you all and the local people I have met. My parents will be coming as well as some of my former colleagues from the porn business. I still keep in contact with a few of them. I already have a caterer who will have food and beverages for us, and I paid Hannah to make the desserts. I only used local female business owners. We need to support women and not big companies."
They told me to tell them the time and date. I did, and Julia noted in her calendar and sent the information to Cindy. The radio stopped playing for a few saying a message. The music returned. Christmas songs continue to play. I told them it was casual professional attire. We arrive at the house and unload all the egg nog. We all love egg nog to drink with alcohol, by itself, and in our desserts and food. I hang up my coat and wash up. I start using some egg nog to make egg nog cookies. I plan on making several dozen for my party and for the cabin. They leave me to my baking. Once I get enough in the oven, I begin making lunch. I am making Indian food from a recipe I use often. They return to join me. They pour me some eggnog to drink. I take a few sips and continue making Nan and then make the sauce to go over the meat and potatoes. They ask to help to learn. They put on their aprons and washed up. I instruct them what to do. I remove the cookies and place them on the cooling racks on the kitchen table. I add more cookie dough on the parchet paper and cookie sheets and place the racks in the ovens, and set the timers for each. I watch them making some mistakes that are able to be fixed. I ask them to stop and explain. I add some additional ingredients as they watch. I use measuring spoons to make it easier for them. I usually go by taste. I have them taste it, and they smile. The Nan is done and is in the oven, staying warm. We are finally sitting down enjoying our Indian dinner. They tell me I should open a restaurant. I chuckled and told them I sold two restaurants when I knew I was moving here. One went out of business, and the other is doing well. During dinner, I continue to make cookies. I ended up making 26 dozen cookies. 3 for the cabin for us and whomever come to visit. 4 for Christmas day and the rest of my party. I kept two dozen for us to eat and whomever stopped by. 24 are now in the freezer and labeled where each one is to go. They are doing the dishes. I show them photos of what was done in my home . I even showed them the photos of the artwork locked up but hung up. I needed to take them for my insurance company. I tell them tomorrow, I will be finishing up my Christmas gifts shopping. Cindy asked if I like company. I tell her yes. Julia says she is meeting with old friends from college who are here for a few hours. Everything is done. Julia pours us some milk, and Cindy goes makes herself another cup of coffee. We are sitting in the lounge drinking our beverages and eating two cookies for dessert while we binge watch home alone Christmas videos. The lights are turned off . Cindy turns all the led mini white lights. I love the holidays. We enjoy all the movies. It is late when we load the dishwasher with the plates and cups. We go to their room to have coitus.
