Rum and Coke “cake”

We spent Independence Day, as we have the past several years, at a friend’s house along the parade route in town. It’s always a great time.

I wanted to do a little something extra for our hostess who puts so much time and effort into making sure everyone has a good time. She’s a big fan of Rum and Coke. It ended up being a centerpiece on the buffet table.

I finally moved in….

…into WordPress, that is.20130128_1340 copy

Please excuse any oddball entries, misaligned text or photos and any other anomalies.

I transferred all my blog posts over from Blogger. I know that some of the formatting is a little wonky with those posts but I’m not worried about that.

This is a good move. Starting over without really starting over. Like moving to a new neighborhood. It takes a bit of time to find your way around, develop those shortcuts and feel completely at ease but I know it will come.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

I have decided to pick a word for the year once again.
This year I have chosen  “Simplify” .
I’ll use this word as a guide in the year to come.

We had a wonderful Christmas! 
Family over for both Christmas Eve and Day.
Laughed lots, ate too much, made a mess opening gifts, played games and visited until my throat was scratchy.
I had to  show you one of the centerpieces from our table. I saw this on Pinterest and loved it. So bright and early Christmas morning I stepped outside to trim some greens from the bushes. I’m sure any neighbors that spotted me though I was nuts. It was 0°F at the time.
Greens in a mason jar…add water and fresh cranberries which are ever so kind to float. 
Drop in a floating candle. Ta-da…
Simple and festive.
