Wilmington, NC

The trip to the Wilmington Serpentarium was very educational...and frightening!

Bluffton, OH

My favorite dessert, and possibly food, is grape pie. My Grandma Bixel used to make it and now my mom does the honors. It's unique and the best!

Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad!  We celebrated at Lindey's, a German Village restaurant that has been around as long as my parents marriage.  It used to be The Lindenhoff - and Mom described her 1971 date there with dad in great detail.  Both establishments - Lindey's and E&K - have aged quite well.  Don't they look great?! 

The lovebirds, forty years later!

Beacon Hill Holiday Party!

Maria and me in front of the "yule log"... on Demand.

     

Erin came all the way from NYC for the party!

Witt girls.  And the Wicked Witch.  Interesting.

Maria and I made cookies!  Not the most beautiful process, but they turned out delicious.  And, all from scratch.  Best icing recipe ever...compliments of my mom and sister, compliments of Betty Crocker:

- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup Crisco
- 1/4 cup milk (add more if you want your icing thinner)
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- Mix together!

Another Thanksgiving treat!  My Romes and I got together for a little lunch with her baby girl, Riley.  She's so precious!  Three babies (and Ethan) over the weekend...whew!
