Quiet Appreciation of Life

Hi My birthday dinner with my daughters and family was great. The dinner was just wonderful we drank 5 bottles of wine(threw the entire evening) in Italy there dinners can last 3 hours and longer. Beautiful birthday cards and gifts and the knowledge that I have raised 3 wonderful children. My daughters Jody and Jessica with my brothers wife Debbie spent the evening with me. I am a blessed person to be able to live and be as healthy as I am. I love walking outside and just marveling at the sky how blue, the crisp morning air, and the quiet of the country. My Mother lives in the country I go out every other day and see her and when your outside with no cars or noise the birds sing to you and you can just marvel at the magnificent world we have.
God didn't start the war man did we have lost a great many good people trying to defend what we take for granted. A Mother's love is a wonderful thing and to take her children away from her is awful I couldn't stand it.
Kinda melodramatic right now just thinking of life and death. Guess some birthdays do that.
Just wanted to pass on a few thoughts I have been having. We need to enjoy every day we have in what ever way we want to. Talk to you later have a new recipe I'm going to put up!

ALASKA

I went on a cruise this summer to Alaska it was so wonderful if you haven't ever taken a cruise what are you waiting for? You get waited on taken on shore cruises. Seen some wonderful sights had icebergs floating around the ship not huge ones but icebergs. The seafood was divine I love lobster and Shrimp Crab legs are to die for. I had Alaskan King Crab legs HUGE. YUMMY!!!
We rode a train up the mountain to the gold rush area looked like we were hanging on by the track but it was beautiful up there. I saw vast Glaciers that are melting the guides showed where they used to be and where there at now and they have went down a great deal. There's a lot to Global Warming because it's happening NOW.
When I figure out how to post my pictures I'll put up some from Alaska it was truly BEAUTIFUL there. Hope all had a great Thanksgiving we did and I have put up my Cranberry Tart Cake recipe for you.
Since were all women let me know what you think of Hillary for president. I would like to hear your views on it. Talk to you tomorrow....
