A Family Affair

With two blogs, I have difficulty at times deciding what to put where...then just difficulty both living AND posting about it. This blog has evolved somewhat into a friends and family post with the other for art work and fans of that.

I still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up, but also HAVE decided that I don't have to narrow it down...Ever!

This has been an amazing and warm spring in NW Washington, and I'm grateful to have a big chunk of my family relatively close by and that we enjoy being together and are all great cooks.

Even though I'm trying to stick to a budget, I could not resist ferrying to Seattle two weekends in a row, for Serene's graduation party and for Easter... Both great meals and an opportunity to hang with family...so nice that they are all people who like and love each other!

Easter Goodies...SO DELICIouS!
