A Fun Read

Image:Google

I was watching the World

News the other night and

heard a spot on this book.

After listening, I Googled

it to find out more.

It is written by Colleen

Christian Burke--she

received a personal

invitation from First Lady

Laura Bush to help decorate

the White House of Christmas

of 2008.

She writes of the traditions that

each First Lady decided on during

their time in the White House.

It begins with the Kennedy's and

continues through the Obama's

I have read the first chapter and

now I am moving on to the

Johnson's term.

This would be a great book for

someone who has an interest in

the White House, the First Ladies,

history and traditions. Each chapter

ends with a special treat for the reader.

I purchased this for myself for

Christmas and I am really enjoying it!

Oh Joy !!!!

The season's FIRST SNOW!

According to the weatherman

this was supposed to be "flurries."

It didn't amount to any accuulation

but it sure made a mess getting to work

this morning. The first snow sure does

throw drivers for a loop. :) We may get a

little more later in the week.

***Thanks to all for the sweet wishes

for our anniversary.

Happy Anniversary!!!!

It is that time of year again! What time do you ask? The time for these two kids to celebrate their wedding anniversary! This is number 12! Yea!!!!!! This is where we had dinner last night. A very authentic Italian restaurant, owned and operated by Jasper Mirable. We had a chance to speak to him as were leaving! He is like a local celebrity here in the Kansas City area. For dinner I had Chicken Parm. with pene pasta. Ken had Italian sausage with pene pasta. Our meals began with a most delish salad and bread! No pics of our meals because the photographer was too busy eating and enjoying. :) This folks is "the dessert cart." Five levels of the most devine delish desserts one can imagine! Drooling can occur when this comes flying by!

I'd like to introduce you to

THE most DELISH piece

of Strawberry cake EVER

tasted by these lips. Oh,

my goodness! (We split this)

Ken and I had a very enjoyable

celebration dinner and can't

wait for another reason to go

back.

Today is the actual day for our

anniversary and we had fun

running around and spending

the day together. We are ready

for 12 MORE!
