Mason's 5th Birthday Party!

Finally! Pictures from Baylee's 10th Birthday Party

South Carolina

Harry and I just returned from vacation in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. So beautiful ~ all the trees have Spanish moss hanging down, and the birds and the sunsets are amazing!

SNOW!

It has snowed all day! (since 5 this morning) We had school all day, but Hadley's school closed at 2. That means she got to spend half a day with me at "big kid school" She LOVED it! Its amazing how interesting opening and closing desk drawers are... We got home and had a little snow time. She is a big fan of the snow! We already have a delay tomorrow, hopefully they'll cancel it and we can play all day! The weather man said this storm will drop 7-11 inches! Unbelievable!

What a week! A beautiful snow storm, a bobcat on our driveway, and a mountain lion kill on our neighbor's driveway (a deer). Plus, the foxes are doing their mating screams. Hope that means an early spring!

Durwood and Chris

I got a note from Chris yesterday with this picture on their 62nd anniversary. She said:

I am doing better last couple days, not as nauseated. Hard to eat when you don't feel hungry. Trying to. Suppose will have shoulder surgery, replacement, in next month or so. Then chemo, hoping every 3 months. Then the other knee. First did real good. Tell all hello.

Grace 17:20

I went to the most wonderful restraunt last night! I'm in Norcross (suburb of Atlanta). By accident, we found Grace 17:20.

It was the most wonderful place ---- is Southern French a real thing?

So, I started out with a cup of Black Eyed Pea Soup with a base of Bread Crumbs and Carmalized Onions. OMG!

Between the soup and dinner, we had a Carrot & Ginger Sous Shooter topped truffle oil. It was a warm soup in a shot glass. Strangest thing ever --- but yummy!!

For dinner I had Shrimp atop Garlic & Onion Grits. Suddenly, grits are one of my favs!

I am in search now for recipes to make these savory bites at home!!!

Love you!
