HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I am so sorry that I haven't been writing every day like I would like to. But, my life is still kind of hectic. Right now we are in Hilton Head for the week and will be home on Jan. 6. It didn't start out too good because about 1 hour away from our destination our car broke down on I-95!! To make a long story short we ended up on a flatbed being towed to a repair place that was closed. It was a Sunday evening. I should say that our SUV was placed on the flatbed and carried into Sun City. Luckily, Otis and Sue were on their way to meet up with us and they picked us up at the repair place. The car was repaired yesterday and we picked it up in the afternoon. Now after a couple of days to get myself well rested and de-stressed, I plan to get back to writing in this blog. I, also, have Christmas cards that I am insisting on sending out. I haven't sent any since Bill had his strokes and I had promised myself that I was sending them out this past Christmas. Well, I didn't get a chance to, but, I am still going to get them written out while I am here. It's just something that I have to do. The cards can be my "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" card.

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
