New blog

Hi everyone!! We (well...*I*!) have a new blog, if you'd like to check it out:

EnJoy! (For All is Well!)


While it may *seem* like it's a food blog, there is still a lot of our lives in there, since much of our lives is centered around glorious food!

Be Well ~

Since completing our *365 Photos* project, I have released myself from posting a photo a day on this blog...and life has been SO much more FREE ever since!! It feels more *authentically mine* for not having to think about which part of my life to share in the blog...

So that is why there have not been many posts. I *will* be adding photos now and then, when I have some time.

THESE are VERY important photos!! We have new members in our family...and we are so very much in love with both of them.

Meet Monty...



...and Roxi...










(Sam is Monty's *boy*, and it is VERY rare that Roxi is in Sam's lap, because the big ole bulldog baby usually is!!...and, as you can see, he does *Not* approve of the little corgi being in his boy's lap!)

Life is Just So Grand!

I'd like to introduce you to a new member of our family...our Welsh Corgi puppy, Bella True. She was born March 20, 3 days before Choco crossed over...and she'll be coming into our home on May 8.

We Love Her So Much Already.

So, this is what my morning looked like...







And this is what my evening looked like...


(that says Dave <3 Anne...my honey always makes me a loving Easter egg...)


Sam spilled cereal milk on his Alienware laptop several weeks ago...and we've been through hell and back trying to get the issue fixed and resolved (Alienware is *not* a consumer-friendly company!). Finally, we stopped fighting the flow and Sam chose to buy an external keyboard with his birthday money from his Grandma...and now he's back and gaming and happy (he was happy without it, too...)...


This is his keyboard lit up...COOL!!

Oh, I love it when ducks and geese deem our pond to be *noble enough* to stop for a swim along their journeys...

This wood duck has been here every morning...I just love him.







Look at the gift I received when I opened a new jar of Nutella!! YES!! This *beauty*, in addition to the gift of the deliciousness of Nutella!!






Another amazing sunset... Wow. Just Wow.

Last night, Sam said, "I want to bake bread tomorrow."

And so, he did.

He and Jake made their first homeade bread ever, and it was SO wonderful to be a part of it all (I must confess to using my bread machine to make the dough for me when I make bread!)...





I had cleaned out the dough bowl and gathered up a little bit of bread dough. We were all playing catch with it (playing catch with bread dough is one of our favorite things to do!), and then Sam realized that he could make a teeny tiny pizza with it while we were waiting for the *real* bread to rise...
(And it was SOOO good!!)









All I have to say about this bread, these boys and this glorious life: Yes!!

There is something *very* wrong with this huge strawberry picture...




I had to go into town to pick up our Jeep (hooray for new brakes that actually WORK!!)...and so I stopped at the ice cream shop to have a little baby-cone treat for myself, and picked up a treat for *all* of us... Mmm...ice cream cake...

Mmmm...my Dad's meatball recipe is just what we needed today...



Life is glorious...

I found this treat in the refrigerator that I had bought at Minamoto Kitchoan the last time we were in NYC, and it had expired, darn it! But I opened it up and looked at it and touched it and smelled it, anyway...because it's so very lovely...(yes...that's a whole Japanese cherry encapsulated in a sweet gelatin...)...
