Happy Holidays

Hubby and I went on vacation!! It was a needed break from our hectic schedules of work, school, homework and not to mention our opposite schedules. Well, we went to Florida for a good friend's daughter's wedding. We usually don't go to Florida during Christmas break, since our weather disaster at Disney World when the boys were young. We ran around in rainy 50 degree weather with three young boys and a sick husband. But this time we were hoping for warmer weather and we had it for a few days. One good thing-- NO rain for the gorgeous bride on her special day. A little chilly, but a blanket of celebration warmed the entire group of well wishers. Stephanie and Jim - have a great honeymoon and keep that spark going 'for as long as you both shall live'. Another good thing- we loved seeing our good friends Barb and Gary and the rest of the family. Thank you for sharing your holiday with us!!

Best Wishes for a safe and prosperous New Year!!

Welcome 2010!!

Where had the time gone. I can't believe it's the last day of a decade; one where we have seen more hardship and negative impacts on our country then we care to remember. Some of them, unfortunately we will not forget though.

We plan on celebrating the beginning of a new decade with good friends tonight. Good friends always deserve good food, so tonight we will be having a Spinach Caprese Salad for an appetizer, along with some Parmesan cheese straws. For our main course Paula and Jeff are making crab legs, roasted potatoes, and steamed vegetables. After some challenging games of cards and dominoes we will be ready for Tiramisu Roulade, a chocolate desert that looks heavenly and I am sure will taste the same. Check out Simply Gluten Free for many recipes that everyone will love.
