I have a quiet moment .. love when the house sleeps! We are heading to our local ski spot today and I need to get breakfast going but I just wanted to pop in to say a quick hello.
My daughter made these darling place holders for dinner last night.
We are indulging..still. These cookies are my favorite!
Chocolate cookies ..
.. and doing a little wine tasting!
Hope you are getting to enjoy some quiet, reflective time.
Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!

ReplyDeleteMy mother in law makes some fabulous cookies that remind me of these! So glad you got to have some down time! My down time was soooo down….I couldn't get out of the bed and then off of the floor for two days! YUCK! What a time to be sick! I've missed my blogging time and blogging friends tremendously! So glad I got to see this post! Enjoy yourself skiing! Can't wait to be back to normal soon!
ReplyDeleteChocolate and wine... sigh, what could be better. Darling little place cards your daughter made too, good for her!

You have a beautiful blog! Love the place card holders your daughter made. They remind me of some ornaments I made (using a kit) because of the twine and buttons. Hope you had fun skiing! This time of year is a great time to do that with the family. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog too.
ReplyDeleteSweet Leslie! Thank you for your wonderful comments on my home my dear! I wish I could capture the real beauty of it, however! I just don't know how to handle a camera!
ReplyDeletePlease come to visit me on Jan. 1 so you can see what I have been up to. It is very special!
Now go and enjoy the rest of this year! Anita
Happy New Year wishes to you too, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteHave fun skiing. Wish I was on
the slopes today....
not happening though, without a
long ride to slopes far away since Illinois
is as flat as a pancake!
(That is one of the BIG things
I have missed since moving here.)
Enjoy!
Alison
Happy New Year to you as well, Leslie. Cheers, Mona
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Leslie. I know you all had a grand time skiing. I used to ski when the boys were very young. Everytime we went, I got worse and worse and husband and the boys got better and better. The slopes are so icy here. Finally I just gave up and stayed in the ski house making hot buttered rums and soup for everyone. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures (especially the wine tasting)
ReplyDeleteHello Leslie dear, I hope you are having a relaxing time. There is plenty to reflect on. have a wonderful time skiing. Happy New year to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your quiet time. Happy New Year to you!
