Happy New Years

[Guest guest]

Hi all, sorry I haven't posted in a while. It's been nice with

all the family home for the better part of the past two weeks. I'm

shot, but it's been a nice Christmas. We had amost a foot of snow

fall Sat. so we had a shovel party yesterday. My wife worked hard

and is sore today. I get to hear her complain about body pain for a

change. (I get to pamper her, life is good) I've been able to cook

all though the Christmas holiday, so I've been able to cook all kinds

of yummy treats for her and the boys. It's been wonderful. My

knees, elbows, and back are screaming, but it'sstill been a lovely

holiday. We had my wifes Mother here for Christmas also, and that

was really nice. Three generations around the tree. We had a nice

quit New years at home. I made a bunch of treats for us( shrimp

cocktail, deviled eggs, pickled herring, stuff like that), and my

wife baked a nice pecan pie. I let my boys stay up and watch the

ball drop. It was the first time for them both. We were all asleep

my 12:30 I think. I'm going to moke chocolate covered potato chips

and chocolate covered cherries with the boys this afternoon while

Mother relaxes on the sofa. I hope you all have a low pain day.

P.S. I tried a recipe for eggnog pancakes on Christmas

from " better homes and gardens " that was really good if anyones

interested.
