On the road

Today hubby and I are driving back east to celebrate Christmas with family and friends.  Sadly, Charlie won't be coming with us. 
He's going to stay at a doggie hotel.

We will miss him dearly.  
I will miss his special corn chip smell,

his tendency to follow us around,
his tongue tickling my toes,
and his snuggles at night.

But not to worry, we'll soon see him again in a week!

Holiday attire

Wondering what to wear for those special meals this holiday season?  Look no further, here are a couple of suggestions:
 
How about a bow tie for breakfast?


Perhaps a quirky tie for lunch?


Tweed for dinner?


Or velvet for Christmas cocktails?

Taco infomertial

Do you ever eat tacos and find yourself with this problem?
Oh no! The tilted taco!  The outpouring of my delicious fillings.... 

Well, that problem is a thing of the past!
A flat bottom- simple change in design... awesome benefits

All my fillings are now safely secured.  Now that's some great engineering!

Local lunch

Today hubby and I had lunch at Russ' restaurant, a joint frequented by west Michigan locals.  I ordered a "Reuben Soup" in a bread bowl.

Mmmmmm... tasted just like a melted Reuben sandwich.

Hubby ordered a smothered roast beef sandwich.
Oooh ooh, just look at that dark beefy gravy.

It's a nice restaurant.  Very kid friendly too.
These crayons are clearly ready for some Dutch Dancing.
