Life certainly gets hectic during the Holidays and I find it especially difficult to sit in front of the computer to share what's going on. Typically when I found time to sit, it was with my now defunct laptop! I would sit with my honey in the sunroom and while he worked on his computer, I would work on mine. From time to time we would look lovingly to each other, enjoying that fact we didn't need to talk... being in the same room was enough :)!
Now that things have calmed down around here a bit, my desktop is still working (although in another room... miss you honey!) I thought I should recap:
The Holidays...
My Mom, Arlene had her annual Christmas Party and has been waiting for me to post a few photos she can share with her friends.
As you can see there's always plenty of food, and this is just a sampling!
White Christmas was the theme this year!
From the bar to the outside, everything is covered in lights creating a very festive mood!
This is truly an event friends and family look forward to attending each December!
Taking the train to Portland and spending time with my daughter and her girls was definitely a treat! We're putting this on our "to do more often" list!
Projects:
Not only did we have the Holidays to keep us busy we also embarked on a new project: A little fixer-upper! Here's a little sneak peek:
This is a home to be shared! With a roaring fire we were able to get the temp up to a toasty 56 degrees and enjoyed a great evening with our Gourmet Group!
I'll be sharing more in the day's and months to come!
New Year's was spent camping at Nahalem Bay State Park, one of our favorite local Spots! Cold but clear, with lots of time spent walking on the beach and watching the sun set!
Yesterday I whippped up these sweet little bags for a birthday gift! They'll be filled with fun treats and sent to Japan for a sweet girl we don't get to see nearly enough!
Cheers!
Here's to 2013 and all the wonderful adventures ahead!
