I had a really nice time visiting with my guy and seeing the sights. Here's a link to just a few (250) photos I took during my vacation.

I gave J an early holiday present last night...

We were expecting delivery of the new couch on Friday evening... and while the delivery did indeed happen, it didn't go nearly as expected.

For lunch today, I made some Pillsbury croissants and we ate it with the prosciutto, cheese, grapes and cantaloupe. Mm-mm ( Read more... )

Lots... and lots... of cookies...
