  • Happy New Year.

    January 1st 2017

    Posted on January 3, 2017 by

    Mother at home always had a large cake and a huge breakfast ready for us on the first of every January. We had all kinds of family and friends that would pile into the house around nine or ten in the morning. All day there would be food and many desserts.

    Her mantra was, start the day with people you love, and eat, laugh, have something sweet to make the whole year sweet, and of course reminisce! New Year’s eve was never a big deal. She said we had to welcome the day with these things when the sun is shining. Not the middle of the night! Made a lot of sense to me. I have followed that tradition here.

    So every 1st of January, the family comes over for brunch or regular lunch and they just stay and laugh and visit with each other for hours. I did the same yesterday. Here are some photos of yesterday.

    img_6305Noah is so tall. We took a picture standing together, I looked like a cretin next to him!

    img_6300_1Bought a cake, but made the strawberry/cream cheese pies. Made some fresh squeezed orange juice which was so delicious!

    And we all had a wonderful time. Hope all of you had a great day.

    I wish for all of you a year filled with Happiness, Peace, Love, Good Health and Laughter. I pray that the wars will be a thing of the past, and that the Syrian refugees (the innocent children) will find homes and hearths to find respite and love.

  • I love the photo of you with Davis and Noah! You look wonderful! The food on the table is mouth watering - Is that roasted Brussels sprouts?? yum!

    • No Val, they are spinach balls made with spinach, stuffing (like the one you use at thanksgiving), some chicken broth, an egg and some spices, and sscallions, you make them into balls and bake them in a 350 oven for 20 minutes. They are really delicious, and so healthy.

  • The food is so pretty, and I think it tasted every bit as good as it looks. Family, friends and food. 3 ingredients for a happy day, and a happy year. Blessings to you in 2017.

  • Oh my, such yummy-looking food!

  • Tһis iis a delighted skill to know how you can participate in or so they claim.
    Childhood without exciting as well as activitіes is actᥙally no childhooⅾ whatsoever.
    Toys and alsо vіdeo games help toddler build their focus as well as creativity comіng from a really youngeг grow older.
    Be that puzzle games, plսsh playthings or board gɑmes, smooth toys, toys are ɑn integral part of the growing years of a toddler.
