Our Christmas eve Wine Cake. A tradition we enjoy every Christmas eve.

This is just about the easiest cake ever made.   

Enjoying lunch in Turkey on our cruise

The esteemed head of our family and the 'light of my life'.

haylen marie.... kyrie's older sister.

Hanna...destroyer of rats and bats.

Please welcome the newest member and extreme joy of our lives.....Haylen Marie's little sister, Kyrie Aileen. Isn't she beautiful? Poor Dad in 14 years.....

I thought you might like my Egg Fried Rice recipe. I learned how to make it when we were stationed in Guam. My family loves it. Enjoy!!

The hot tub over-looking the river. So nice to sit when it's raining... listening to it as it hits the roof. Now that's a little piece of heaven.

Good memories at our cabin on the Winchuck River

Eric and me when we went to my favorite place in the entire world.... Disneyland. Well this is Universal Studios, which is getting pretty darn neat as well. But I have to say my by far favorite is still Disneyland. Just call me Peter Pan.... never grew up and don't want to.

My daughter and son-in-law and their three children. (view my house on older posts)

'Fool on a hill'.....that's me when I worked on the Lookout in the summer when I was going to Oregon State. My future husband came to visit with his little brother. I worked on the lookouts for two summers. The first night on this lookout I managed to start a fire in my garbage sack.... right next to the propane tank. I'm sure they were wondering what kind of idiot starts a fire in a lookout. (me)

My youngest son and his wife...in their new home in Maui. PRE-two kids (uh oh..... and they look so happy...)

My son and daughter-in-law... having fun. Check out their two little boys next picture.

My little Men. They are way too happy at Grandma's house cuz she spoils them. (It's what I do... it's my job. Right?)

Poor Stew.... he's getting much better and has learned not to bite. He's very possessive of my niece, (left). My daughter on the right. Aren't they pretty?

My chicken lamp is on night and day... since our house is a little on the dark side. It is at the end of our short hall and greets those that come through the front door.

Summer is finally here...

Somebody likes to nap a little too often...which makes it rather hard to step around him.. since my kitchen is not the largest.

Welcome to my home... 'cozy is my mantra...'
