Happy New Years !


We were given a grill for Christmas from David's parents. Words cannot describe the joy in finding barbeque sauce, chicken, black beans, tortillas, grilled corn on the table.... divine ... Southern Food !!

I just thought the chicken was so beautiful ... weird ...I know.


For anyone who lives in Rome... we also got RESA'S SALSA for Christmas ... thank you Theresa !!!

We're a bit obsessive about her salsa too... had to post one more photo of it... she sent us 4 jars and we cleared them out in a weekend.


Then, there were fireworks... not small fireworks.... HUGE ones !

They were shot off right in our street... we were cracking up.. no fire code or department approval required... they were so loud that all of the car alarms were going off just from the jolt of the boom !


I really should have taken video so that you can appreciate the joyful caos that was going on at midnight until about 2 or 3 in the morning in our neighborhood. There were so many fireworks that it looked like a war scene... down this street are about 10 houses... can you find them?


They started off small at 6 am .. they were just firing the cracker type..at 6pm... they fired off small street fireworks.. then at about 10 min till midnight the huge ones began.... FUN!!!  Wishing you all a wonderful 2010 as exciting as fireworks at midnight in Guatemala ! Peace .

Happy New Year, Melinda!
Were your ears burning, today? Amy, Stephanie, Cristin and I were scrapbooking with some other friends at my house. We miss you!
We were talking about your blog and how we enjoy reading it.

Your grill looked amazing. Yummo!

Guess what! It is freezing! 23 degrees. Richard turned on the heat. He never turns on the heat. We keep our house 67. So, for the rest of the week I will look at your blog daily so that I can see the grill looking all warm and sunny!

Paige was looking at your Christmas picture. She said how much she thought your oldest son -- Jacob? looks like your brother.

Love to you, guys
