Dinner Party

The cold weather did not deter our Dinner Party, as it was -13 below! A real good time for a big pot of Ham,& Beans(Great Northern), and cornbread muffins! Appetizer was battered Motzella Sticks with sauce and a light Cheesecake for dessert! We enjoyed the dinner with 11 of our good friends. One couple brought drinks and flowers! I am still enjoying the flowers! We had a wonderful time!

More Snow!

This has got to be one of the 'Snowiest' Winters I can ever remember! That's okay, we are (as usual) so ready!!

I just hope it doesn't hang around for our Dinner Party on Saturday Evening! Should be lots of fun!! Good food and Good Friends!! We are so blessed!

'A Snowy Day'

New Year

A new year and back to normal...well as normal as can be! We are waiting for a 'Winter Storm'' blast(we are ready for you!). Other than that, our son is back in college for another quarter towards his BA. Our Dr.'s appointments are over for a few months (they were pretty good) and the Christmas bills are almost paid in full! Yep, this is starting off to be a good year! I hope it continues! But, if it doesn't I will always remember that, 'Our trials and tribulations only make us stronger'!

Stay safe and keep warm! KK

1/1/11

What a date! Not only is it the first day of the New Year---it's full of 1's!

It was a fun day for our family, too. We spent the afternoon and evening with our closest friends (S&G and J&N and lets not forget A, too!) for dinner and a night of gaming!

Dinner was great--the traditional pork and kraut, with mashed potatoes, salad and rolls! Surprisingly, no cookies! I made an Eclair Cake instead. G's Mother L was able to join us for dinner and a great conversation! She is so special! She reminds me so much of my much Beloved Aunt Dot! She passed away in 1990. I had so much fun visiting with G's Mother!

THANK'S for a GREAT TIME!!! I can't think of a better way than spending the 1st day of the New Year with all of you!!

HAPPY HOGMONAY!!

Life is not a fairy tale---well, maybe a 'Bros. Grimm' Fairy Tale, and we all know that those don't always end so well!

There are always demons and advesaries in one's life (everyone has them and most of the time it begins with ourselves), it's time to come to terms with our own problems. Your actions are your actions and stop blaming how (your) life turned out on others (Gee, I told this to my half-sister in 1986, when I first met her!), at some point (in your own life), it is up to you to find your own 'fairy tale', Bros' Grimm or not!

So, now it's time to put on our 'Big Girl Pants' and get on with our own ('fairy tale') lives.

I think my New Year's Resolution will be.....'Let Go And Let God'!

Happy New Year!
