Sweet dreams

Nothing says family fun like gingerbread, icing, and candy.  

Last year's family fun

I can't wait till this Christmas. 
Oh the icing we'll squeeze!
Oh the candy we'll eat! 
Oh the memories we'll make.

Bow ties done three ways

Here are photos from Hubby's wardrobe.  Who knew that polka dot bow ties could be so versatile?

That's Bond, James Bond

Christmas store

A couple of nights ago we ran across this wonderful store in Grand Rapids.

What luck!  It was open.

Isn't this stained glass beautiful?  I love dogwoods.

We stepped inside and were enveloped by Christmas magic

Burger love

I love burgers.

They're yummy and relatively simple to make.

The great burger equation

Beef burgers are my favorite, but I'm always on the lookout for healthier alternatives. This weekend I found a new burger to try:

Yum, fresh from the garden.

Go ahead.  Take a big virtual bite.

It was surprisingly good.  The patties had a nice firm texture and were delicious with feta, tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard on toasted multi-grain bread. 

Ooh.  I'm getting hungry just thinking about it...
