We returned from a great weekend of snow, sledding, good food and good company on Monday night. The weather seemed to call for it so I made my first ever beef stew one evening and boy, I don't know why I've waited all my life to try that! Even the kids ate it. That is definitely going in my recipe binder.
Hard to believe but this year (at eight and six years old) was the first sledding experience the kids have ever had. Let's just say they did not want to come inside. Ever. Seriously ... ever.
I tried a little low-light photography on our date night using the timer and a flat surface. (didn't have a tripod along) Ellicottville, a ski town, is really quite charming, full of restaurants and bars. It's pretty rare these days that Paul and I get out by ourselves.
Then we realized on returning home that something was up with our heat and the house was really cold. Those shivers may have just been a warning sign, as we are all pretty much sick with a fever, massive headache and some of us have other symptoms as well. Poor kids. Mmmmm ... bet you're glad your reading this right now, hum?
Well, there is much laying around for me to get back to just now. I'll be back in better form soon.
