Cookbooks, Restaurants and Everything in Between
Typing one handed but I had to say thank you to all who stumble my way. Looking forward to a new and wonderful year.
I’ve had a year full of ups and downs but I’m still here. See you guys in the New Year.

Daily Prompt: Merry Christmas if you’re celebrating today, Tell us about your favorite holiday tradition.
Merry Christmas everyone!!
I love Christmas, the lights, the decorations and of course the food. My favorite tradition during the holiday season is when my daughter and I decorate the house and put up the tree with all its sparkling lights and bright ornaments.
Today is Thanksgiving, the first time in history of being back in KC that I’m not cooking and the family is not cooking.

Today is Halloween the day for all little ghosts and goblins to come out and gather up all the candy they can snag, and it’s also our Anniversary a day that almost didn’t happen. It’s been five years a track record for many couples and definitely a track record for us because after a rough start during that first year we got back together on a Halloween and decided to make it our anniversary (mainly so he could remember as Halloween is his favorite holiday).
And to think this day almost didn’t happen because as usually a major disagreement took place three days before the date. Continue reading “Halloween and Anniversary All In One!!”
