Beginnings

Alot has happened in a year.  Cancer...Being laid off....finding new job YEA!...Son deciding to go into Military...Daughter getting laid off BOO!

Perspective has changed for me in alot of areas.  How I view medical insurance...how I view those on unemployment...how I view those who are overweight....basically...my views of changed.

Long time since I've posted to this blog...alot of wine has been drunk....alot of cakes have been made.  My son is now overseas serving his country and i'm getting ready to be in my forties for one last year!

Birthday for my Baby!!! well he's 19 but still

Another birthday...Elijah...my youngest..hard to believe he will be 19 on Thursday!  Kids...best thing that can happen to you

I made his favorites...pot stickers and spring rolls...and Chocolate cake with raspberry filling!

Before the lighting

Make a Wish!!!

We had a great time...his sister actually come up and saw us here in the north...for those who don't live in Kansas City...anything over a bridge is far.

Back to the food...pot stickers I started making when I lived in England and couldn't find any good ones.  Spring rolls I learned how to make from someone who worked at Girl Scouts with me.  My kids have a different sense of eating.  When they were much younger...I took them to Lawrence to walk around.  They each brought a friend.  When I asked what everyone wanted for lunch my kids said...Thai food...their friends....sandwiches....

you can tell they liked it!
