Golf & Food
We had today off as a comp day...here's my view for "playground duty" this morning! Not the best round, but good weather.

We got to enjoy date night at Flemings for their Tasting Room...love having Magnum Club status!! Had oysters for the first time, along with one of my favorites - scallops.

Family Dinner
We got what I think is our 8th year of Family Dinners underway tonight. We are going with the "Chef" theme again this year. Tonight's chef...Rocco Dispirito.

Professional Development Day
Had a good day with colleagues at our CRT (Computer Resource Teacher) job-alike day. Worked on district initiatives and had the opportunity to play with a few tech "toys" like Sphero. Looks like I'll be working on a new PTO grant!

The fridge stopped working yesterday...my own (ice) spheres were a casualty. Had to resort to wine tonight.

Happy New Year's Eve!
Had to get a pic of the final sunset of 2014...unfortunately, it wasn't anything super fabulous.

The Silver Oak and fresh, homemade chocolate chip cookies were super fabulous!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! Looking forward to an amazing 2015!

Turkey Day
Made it to Bubbles for their wine tasting class...what to pair with Thanksgiving Day Dinner. Enjoyed a couple of them, but enjoyed my Crave burger afterwards even more!! It did start to get me excited for Turkey Day...might even make it to the Turkey Rock Trot this year since I'm not hosting.

Fall Golf & Family
The weather continues to be perfect for more fall golf...love it!! This might be the last weekend of skort weather though. :(

We hosted family dinner this month. Being so close to Halloween and sticking with our International theme, I went with Transylvania - Romanian Cuisine. As you can see from the photo, we had a great time!

Almost Friday
In honor of Throwback Thursday
We are beginning to clear out everything on the main floor for our new hardwoods...YEA!! I'm quickly remembering what it's like to move....YUCK!! As I was cleaning out the hall closet, I came across our team golf towel from my days at CSE. I might have to enlist my mom to fix the lettering.

And I had to enjoy a little wine with my ginger pork. :)

It Has Arrived!
No, I'm not talking about March Madness...I'm talking about SPRING!! As for the tournament, I know there are some of you out there tonight very sad over your broken bracket...Sorry! :(

Had to go with two pics today...

I was hopeful to have a cute mini-daffodil pic, but they didn't quite make it. I had to go with a tulip that is on its way up.

After working out, I had to make a toast to spring!

Yes, It's Still Winter

It was 60 degrees yesterday and today's storm wasn't supposed to roll in until 5:00. Since the Audi had a "misfire on cylinder 5" earlier in the week, I was chauffeured to school and it was a good thing...the storm rolled in early and the Lexis wouldn't have made it far. Today's first pic was looking out the door waiting for my ride home.

The second pic is at Bubbles...we went to the monthly wine tasting class. Tonight's theme was Sicilian food and wines. We came home with three out of the four bottles we tasted, along with some good menu ideas for future family dinners.
