Day 87...
One of my photography class assignments was to do a self-portrait as a reflection. While walking through D.C. alone (which was VERY weird for me...I'm used to having my little tribe with me), I found a black glass display and took a few shots. :-)
Day 86...
You turn your back for 15 minutes to make dinner, and your 4-year-old puts on gang colors...and eats Razzles.
Day 85...
I took the boys to the Japanese Festival in D.C. This gentleman is obviously wearing the traditional headdress from the Terikayki region. :-)

Day 83...
With the advent of digital technology, we have the luxury of taking a LOT more pictures than with film. I can't believe I used to proclaim that I would NEVER switch to digital. What was I thinking?
I did this little spontaneous photo shoot on the front porch in the evening. The lighting ended up being beautiful and I got some pictures that I treasure. This is one of them.
Day 82...
It's hard to believe, but this is the very first Lemon Meringue Pie I've ever made! Although no one in my house really likes Lemon Meringue Pie, I decided that should not be a reason to silence my baking expression. I'm militant like that.
Day 81....
Photo Assignment: "Reflection"
I knew exactly what I wanted to shoot when I received this week's task. I went this morning to the American Visionary Museum downtown and took this picture of the Mirror Tree outside. Reflection galore.

Day 32...
Where do I begin? This looks strange. And do you know why it looks strange? Because it is. I think you have to like the salty/sweet thing (which I'm not a fan of) and maybe it's more for kids, I suppose? But it was strange enough and colorful enough to lure me in. Popcorn, pretzels, M&Ms, all held together with melted marshmallows and butter and pressed into a cake pan. Yeah.
Day 31...
"Getting ready." So many ideas swirling around my head for Valentine's Day. Even the planning makes me happy. :-)
Day 30...
This was dinner tonight for us...It's crockpot easy and oh so good! I'm linking the recipe below for any of you that might like to give it a try. :-) Enjoy!

Day 28...
I think these stunning creatures may be yaks. If they aren't, I am calling them yaks anyway because it allows me to sing "Yakkity, Yak, Don't Talk Back" everytime we pass them on the way to school. :-)
Day 27...
Photo Assignment: "Frosty"
The "walls" at Rocks State Park are beautifully encrusted with icicles.
Day 26...
I find this little barn with a simple green wreath so lovely...even moreso surrounded by snow. :-)
Day 25...
Do raisins maintain their nutritional value when encased in butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and eggs? I'm going to go with YES!
Day 24...
Photo Assignment: "Center of Attention"
Oh, my sweet Rhys and those blue eyes. He wows the ladies with those peepers on the daily. LOL.
Day 23...
I'd show you the 20+ year old recipe card for this cake, but I'd have to first chisel off the batter splatter. It's a favorite! :-)

Day 22...
Sometimes the simplest things taste the best. Shrimp, sundried tomatoes, garlic, and butter, tossed over some rigatoni.
Day 19...
I was bringing in firewood and found this amazing imprint on one of the logs. So beautiful, however it got there! :-)
Day 18...
It's official! As of Saturday, we have begun to partake of tea! We sipped Himalayan Splendor, from my new tea cups, to the sounds of relaxing Japanese music. We have no ACTUAL proof, but I think we gained at least two IQ points in one evening. Possibly three.
