L'aventure américaine

We took a field trip to Evansville today and it was fantastic. Lunch at the Hulsey’s with the kids’ favorite foods (primarily raw fruits and veg) and my favorite foods (primarily cheese). We were agog at the Christmas decorations and got to see Juanita’s (relatively) new house. A great way to spend the last day of the year. Thank you to our hosts! Happy New Year!

Sending all my healing thoughts to this superstar on the left. The manliest man who lets his great nieces brush his hair, who has stellar fashion, who reads more than most people I know, and who has a wicked sense of humor.  Get well soon so that you can stand and fish for years to come. 

Our second cocktail party with the Dickens and Jochims was a success. A much-needed, laughter-filled, trivia and cocktail party. Did you know that “jingle bells” was the first song broadcasted from space?

Just kidding. Randal isn’t a fan. The kids and I were though. We put on our fancy pants and enjoyed the nutcracker. Beautiful!
