I have always loved sangria. Ever since we got home from Barcelona I have been craving it. Sangria is often consumed under the warmth of the sun, hence our love affair with this libation under the Barcelona sunset. With winter's chill I continue to think about … [Read more...] about Winter Sangria – 5:00 Fridays TM

What Happened to Celebrating Holidays in School?
I miss the days of making hand turkeys. The boys traced their hands to make a turkey and decorated it with paint, feathers, and googly eyes.
