Merry Christmas!

It is a blizzard here...no question about a white Christmas...

I have been playing Miss Baker/Pastry Chef lately. I attempted pumpkin chocolate chip bread last week and it wasn't so successful, wouldn't cook in the center, I meant to make mini loafs but never bought them in time so I tried a big loaf, I think the mini ones would have cooked better...next time.

A staff person made homeade caramels last week that were amazing so I asked for the recipe...

And I bought a candy thermometer and off I went...

We are in a winter wonderland!!!

For some reason I turned this picture but it didn't turn when uploaded???? John tightly wound something like 600 lights, it looks way cool.

Ohhhh....Mochi is too sweet!!

Lights

We are having fun with Christmas lights this year. unfortunately they dont capture will when we tried to photograph them but they are still neat...

Want to try again maybe earlier in the evening and especially now with all this snow!

50 Years

Happy 50th Anniversary Mom & Dad Brousseau!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
We were lucky to be a part of a Thanksgiving that was also a 50th Anniversary, November 27th. That is pretty special.

John, his brother Jake, sister Jeanne and Mom and Dad. The first time the siblings have been in the same room in 23 years. Wow.

John playing like a pro on the golf course.

I have lots more pictures and lots more stories to tell but Stubby is not letting me, he thinks computer time is Stubby time and makes it difficult to get things posted sometimes. But it has been a while so I wanted to at least get a few things up...

John has been decking the house out with lights I'll get some pictures and share...
