I had a lot of dessert sampling during Thanksgiving. There were some impressive spread of chocolate cakes, cookies, pies and etc. All home-made. I didn’t know this until recently, but the fiance’s family (his cousins) includes some very talented bakers. I believe one went to culinary or pastry school. I enjoyed browsing thru a ton […]
I am a having a great time baking and cooking. I’ve eaten a lot of traditional and also new (to me) foods. I have enjoyed eating and spending time with my family and friends the last few days. I survived the 3 meals during Thanksgiving Day. I didn’t take a lot of pictures as I […]

Here are some of my project life pages for the month of January. I take a lot of pictures throughout the week so not having enough pictures is never an issue. It’s actually a challenge picking the amount of pictures to print, so some weeks, I make small collages to fit in all the pictures […]

A few weeks ago, I cleaned out a ton of boxes in the garage. I’m trying to sort everything out, clean house and make a dent in organizing all the stuff I’ve kept all these years. I kept my bib from my first half marathon race in Las Vegas. Ever since I found it, I […]
