Slumbering bunny

Hazel wearing her hat from Ninni of Finland.  The world was white and the sun was shining.  We drove the ATV through the sparkling snow to my mom & dad’s house.  Hazel was sandwiched between her daddy & I and was jostled right to sleep. A perfect moment, a perfect day.

Thanksgiving Day

This is a collage of my feeble attempt at photos.  Most taken with the Droid. Despite all of my grand plans I ended up with a fever during the Thanksgiving feast.  I managed to set half the table and make 2 crocks of potatoes before I ended up on the couch, covered in blankets (I finally...

Getaway

We snuck away to the coast last weekend, just the captain & I.  I’m trying to wean baby Hazel (and so far I am slightly unsuccessful).  We stayed at the beautiful Ocean Lodge in Cannon Beach, how homey to wake up to a fire crackling in the big stone fireplace.  Things you must try in Cannon...

Dinner for 23

After a fun day of junking Christy single-handedly whipped up a delicious gourmet dinner for all 23 of us.  Stuffed chicken breast & mushrooms, baby reds, salad, bread,  homemade and fresh everything.  It was like magic. I would have been sweating and burning everything in sight. I’m so impressed.
