2023 Blue Jeans Week 1

Hello 2023!  We are glad you are here!  It was a good week.  We were able to keep Miss E for an extra week which was wonderful.  Great family time.  Take a look at our week...

We like King Arthur's Baking and their recipes.  Every year they have a recipe of the year, and for 2023 it is coffee cake.  They are giving 10 different recipes, so we tried the first one this week.  Cinnamon Crisp Coffee Cake. Yummy!!!

Started the new year with a family hike.  

Found some interesting art on the hike...

When Miss E is home, we always make yummy stuff.  We got out the pasta maker and made pasta this week.  So good!  Miss E took a pasta making class in Italy last summer, so she is the pro!

On the day this girl flew out, we went up to the city early and went to the art museum.  She had a humanities class last semester, and it was fun for her to see the originals of some of the art she studied.

Had lunch in the awesome art museum cafe which has some amazing desserts!  Then dropped this girl off at the airport.  We will miss her!!!

Per tradition, we got our goals done for 2023.  Good things planned for 2023!

And end of December we celebrated our 27th anniversary, but we didn't officially celebrate it until this past week because of all the holiday stuff and timing.  These are my beautiful flowers Ben got for me.

Thanks for visiting!  Hope your 2023 started out great!  Hope you have a great week and stay healthy and happy and safe!
