..........and a Happy New Year!

Another year has flown by, still hard to believe. Is it just me or does time really start to fly once you hit a certain age? I remember as a child thinking it took forever to get through a year and now, well, they just fly.

January is now 3 days in and things are nice and slow, for now. Jerry will be home in 8 days for the first time in six months so we are definitely looking forward to that. We will be having several friends over for dinner and spending time with family and friends. I am sure we will also be spending quite a bit of time at the range burning some powder. This doesn't bother me at all! I am trying to plan a menu for while he is home to include some recipes from my Julia Childs cook book. I will let you know how they turn out. I am very excited to have gotten that for Christmas from Lance. I was inspired by the movie, Julie and Julia. I will say though that I do not intend to try and cook my through that book in a year. But I will post on here anytime I do try a recipe and I will let you know the outcome.

The kids are looking forward to getting back into the swing of school and Madi, I know, will be happy to get back to school tomorrow. She misses school and the routine it gives her. She has done fairly well this break with minimal head banging so that is good. I will be starting my schooling back up tomorrow. I am actually excited about that as well.

I hope you all had a good Christmas and a fun New Year.

Talk soon
