Quiet Life

Saturday, December 29, 2012

Ha! My husband just noticed the blog...and lack of posts.
He called me a slacker.

hehe

Sorry friends. I just did not have a spare moment to sit down and write.
I cooked so much, I never want to cook again.
Mostly because I cooked alone and everybody else was elsewhere.
I wanted to be with them. Not alone in the kitchen.

Somehow this needs to change in the future.

I like to make my favorite things for my favorite people but when it takes me away from them...for hours and hours.

Bad.

Here are some pictures I took while I was away from the blog.
I will not be posting many pictures to Facebook anymore so ya gotta stop by here to see what I'm up to.
K.

groups of booshays :o)

For Christmas I got a Lensbaby Composer. It makes the edges blurry.
I love it.
It's dreamy.

And it made this look like an action shot.
I made the girls lay down in the front yard before they went sledding :o)

Cindy came to dinner on Saturday. It was so wonderful to be together.
I made a tenderloin and it was WAY too rare.
Emma bought me Ina Garten's Foolproof cookbook for Christmas, it has a recipe for tenderloin, I will be trying that next time. Yikes.

Cindy and her Patrick.
So happy together.

Cindy brought a little of mom along with her.

On Christmas we tried to see Les Miz. It was sold out until 3:20 so we stopped at Starbucks....
and took pictures.

We all liked the movie very much. It's a serious musical.
Much of the background is left out of the story. But this is a movie of the musical.
Not a movie of the book.

Have you seen a movie of Les Miz (the book) that you really love?

Nice light at that Starbucks :o)

This was my nostalgic contribution.
We made this ever year for our New Years Eve gathering.
It was neighbors and friends.
Our gathering is family.

I happen to like this appetizer of bologna and cream cheese.
