I must need Vitamin C...

Because I am craving these juicy oranges.
I have one every.single.day.
Thank you, Big Y and your gold coins.
I scored an entire bag of these for less than 2 bucks :)

Dinner for 5

 Saturday night, after the major part of the move, we were all ravenously hungry. While the father in law rested on an air mattress (no furniture left :), the son in law  (on a futon mattress) did some buying and selling on Craig's List. Mikko found a soft spot behind the ONLY person who doesn't really like dogs (they chase cats!) and she was there to stay.




Sorry for the grainy photos...I had just the iPhone this weekend and the lighting wasn't great.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Joe and Lyndsay were hard at work

making pizza for all of us, while the apple crisp I made earlier cooled off.

 Cold beer and spicy sausage pizza is an awesome combination, by the way.

Roasted red peppers..yum.

They chatted as they worked, Lyndsay (Chef) and Joe (Sous Chef), and as I took pictures I marveled at these two amazing kids of mine that Jim and I made.The only thing that would have made it more perfect was to have my youngest munchkin there too :O)

 And boy oh boy...they make a darn good pizza too.

And I know that Joe will want me to put in a disclaimer that he is wearing MY St. Mike's purple sweatshirt because his got wet. LOL

And best of all, we just heard tonight that Lyndsay and Dan's offer on the house of their dreams was ACCEPTED!!!!

We can't wait to move them AGAIN in a few weeks :)

Yes, it's finally me again!

My last post before today was on Dec 8th.


That day, our life got turned upside down for more than a few days when dear hubby had surgery (elective). Blogging got postponed, then practically forgotten with Christmas, New Years, and a huge work project that ate up many many hours and days.
And of course, the less you blog, the less you remember to.


But here we are today, back to blogging.
Can't say I will post every day, but I am going to try, I promise.
Maybe just a photo. Maybe a few words.
Something for my army of 4 or 5 fans :)





This weekend was spent on Cape Cod, not as tourists, but as FAMILY moving helpers.

L + D moved out of their beautiful home this weekend, (closing is on Tuesday), and are on a major search to find a replacement. Weeks and weeks of searching has yielded precious little, but they are still hanging in there, optimistic at finding their dream home.
In the meantime, they have a rental not too far away, and close to the beach.
If only it was summer :) If only.
