Good 36º drizzly morning. Rained all day yesterday. Supposed to get a
break. Ha! That's what the guy on the TV said and I don't believe them!
There was one moment on Christmas that made us all laugh. Sami unwrapped a
gift and in it was a white gift box. She says, "A box! Now, that's what
I'm talking about!" OMG, we all laughed so hard!!! What a
character she is!
... and two more pictures ... I gave Tucker a gross of number 2 pencils
(his request) and a gross of erasers for each pencil. He was happy happy
happy!!!!
Today is a special birthday.. .my friend Trish Bowler (wife of ret LASD
John). HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISH!!!

Olive oil in pan, first mushrooms til sizzling, add rest of veggies,

noodles, sauce mix, cup of water...
The very last thing, I added some chopped green cabbage. Awesome! P.S. the
cooked radishes are soooooooo good!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Thursday. Hairdo day. Ciao.

National Fruitcake Day
Didn't this year, but I love getting the fruitcake from Costco, dousing it
with rum and let it sit a week before eating it. OMGOOD!!!
It is very appropriate for National
Fruitcake Day to be celebrated shortly after Christmas. Once the holidays are
over, it's time to get rid of your fruitcake. Giving a fruitcake is a Christmas
tradition for many. It is also believed that recipients will re-wrap the
fruitcake and give it to someone else. Who knows how many years, or decades, a
fruitcake has been passed along? Ultimately, the trick is to make sure you give
away the fruitcake before the holiday season is through. Otherwise, you get the
joy of storing it, until the next fruitcake-giving season.
On National Fruitcake Day, those with a sweet tooth can celebrate by
eating a slice or two. Otherwise, we suggest you use this day to give your
fruitcake to someone....anyone.

Good Morning!
That is way too funny about Sami. "A box". Tucker looks so excited about all the pencils and erasers. They are both so cute! Happy kids.
Happy Birthday Trish! Hope you get to do something spectacular.
Your creative dinner, as always, looked scrumptious. I must be lazy, when I look at that it looks so good, but then I think, wow that's a lot of work. Guess we will just come to your house and you can make it for us. LOL
Off to start my day. Have a fun hair day. chat later. xo

It's so fun to watch Sami and Tucker grow up! I love writing with a freshly sharpened pencil too!
Trish looks like a Hollywood star!! I love cabbage in anything and I still haven't tried cooked radishes. There's another thing you do with them if I remember correctly? Love- t and g
I adore Gérard Depardieu movies. Not the prettiest package of male appeal- it is what he projects- a gentle but unmistakable strength.
Fruitcake. My mother insisted we keep the cakes sent by her brother for Christmas even though only one ever got opened.
I actually learned to like it served in the European fashion- with a bit of cream poured over at serving time.
Sue,
I have learned from many past experiences never to rely on the weatherman. You and I could do at least as good and probably much better.
Now, fruitcake? Rum or no rum, ah-never mind-enjoy!!!
