A Few Favorites

Jay visited his Mom this past weekend in North Carolina and he surprised me with a few of my favorites when he got home...

Snow Much Fun

On Saturday, when it had finally stopped snowing, we bundled up in many, many, many layers and went out to play in the snow. Jay and I took turns shoveling the walks and then we had fun making snow angels and just being silly. It was very cold so we had to keep moving and make sure we stayed bundled up. It was a great morning and we had a yummy lunch when we came in from the cold. I am so happy that Arabella loves playing in the snow...otherwise we would be totally housebound in the winter here and that would not be fun at all! If anyone wants to come and visit and play in the snow, let us know!



My little tree hugger!

I love the design in the snow...it reminds me of the sand bars at the beach growing up.

My Treat

A few weeks back, I wanted to treat myself after making it through a rough, long day, so I cracked open one of my treasured bottles of Ravenswood Zinfandel. It was a 2001 - I must say that it was delicious! I even enjoyed it in one of my favorite wine glasses - there is nothing better than enjoying a glass of great wine at the end of the day to relax.

Fabulous Find

My friend and fellow ex-pat Carrie has been raving about Cupcake Wine. I thought that they only made white wine so when I saw a whole selection of both red and white on the shelves at Publix, I was super happy! It was a hard decision to pick one just one to try. After much deliberation, I decided on the Red Velvet and I am very happy that I did. It was smooth, warm and fruity. The prefect wine for Christmas Eve dinner. I can't wait to try another one and I will be bringing a bottle (or two) back to Canada with me this time. And I am thinking that when I make my next car trip back to the States, I will be picking up a case of it! Maybe the Hot Hudson Housewives will have a Cupcake Tasting Party...
