"Winter"

We are visiting my family in Maui for two weeks.
It's............heavenly.
Supposedly, it's winter here in the islands. That is, if you consider blue skies and 75 degrees "winter".

New Year Tradition

Happy New Year to you!

We started a new family tradition this year...

Wine making!

Apple wine, to be exact.

I gave Joe a wine-making kit for Christmas and he found a local farmer who was willing to part with 20 lbs. of his cold-stash of Mitsu & Fuji apples. We're 3 days into the initial fermenting stage and I must say...it smells much better than I thought it would.

I'll let you know how our apple country wine turns out. 

Maybe we'll have a corking party on the summer solstice!

Holly Jolly Christmas

Patsy Cline, you said it, sister!

"If I could see the world through the eyes of a child, what a wonderful world this would be..."

Every year, since my babies were born, Christmas has gotten better and better.

Somehow, I don't think this is a coincidence.

Happy Holidays 2011

Enjoy the festivities, my friends!
