Happy New Year 2024

Another busy, crazy wonderful year!! We welcomed our fourth Grandchild, Hannah in February. She is such a delight; it has been seven years since there has been a baby in the family and we are so enjoying watching her grow. We can't believe she will be one in a little over a month💗We continue to divide our time between Florida and Pennsylvania and this year we took a Viking River cruise in Europe, we travelled through four countries: Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Hungary. We saw some beautiful cities and villages, ate so much wonderful food from the area and sampled our fair share of wine and beer. We met so many nice people, it was definitely a trip worth taking! Also did our annual family vacation to Edisto Island SC and had a hot, sunny beach week! We enjoy watching our grands play on the beach and jumping waves. Lastly, we spent some time in the Finger Lakes in New York wine tasting and of course stocking up our wine frig. This is a beautiful area to visit, the lakes are large, the area is lush and there are so many waterfalls to hike to. I still continue to enjoy my time in the kitchen trying new recipes. Check out Pecan Pie Bark, Hot Chocolate Dip and Easy Christmas Swirl cookies (these make such a pretty presentation on a cookie tray). On the heathier side there is Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers and Broccoli, Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Salad. Both of these are Low carb but tasty! I took up knitting again and made 3 chunky blankets as gifts. I really enjoy doing these, they are easy, quick and beautiful! My new craft adventure is working with Resin. I did a few projects but need more practice with complicated designs mainly making beach waves on cutting boards. In 2024 we are headed to Napa Valley, California. We have visited this state before but never the wine region. Looking forward to visiting wineries and taking in the food scene there, plus I hear the area is beautiful! We are also doing our annual Edisto Beach trip and we will let the rest of the year play out our adventures. Thinking road trip to the Midwest, Alaskan cruise, maybe Mexico. Life is Good😊
