the holidays were dreamy - off to the south to snow believe it or not and a good visit with my folks with no tv, internet or cell phones on the farm. we hiked every day, read a bunch, played games and sat by the fire. And cooked. Lord how we cooked - ham, turkey, i made butternut squash curry soup, which i think is the perfect food. from one squash you can feed 5 or more people and get them all the anti-oxidants, vitamins, etc. they need. and its yummy too.
Plus my boy came with and had a great time - i was the luckiest woman in the world and dont think i dont know it. everyone together and healthy. Blessed.

still more dramarama at work. not bad, just changes. i am in a good place with it all and count blessings.
