12-12-70......................43 years ago today, Mark and I became the proud and shocked parents of twins!!!   What great joy these two have brought us thru the years...

We went to Lucca Grill for Italian and pizza, along with assorted little birthday cakes and presents!   
 
 Earlier today....
We woke up to 0 degrees with a -13 wind chill!    Hard to crawl out from those warm, flannel, snowman sheets.   We.bundled up and met friends, Henry and Helen for 7:15 breakfast at Shannon's!    Always so fun to be with them (Mark and Henry worked together for many years and now they are getting closer to retirement)!   Lots of laughs, memories and catching up on families and all the goings on in our lives!!!
 
Henry and Helen
 
I made 2 cheese balls and did some baking.....always get nostalgic this time of year sorting thru recipes and those old family favorites.    Just seeing my Mom's handwriting on the recipe cards brings on the memories and makes me so sad she's no longer here.  Mom's lebkuchen cookies (a lengthy process) was "her" specialty each Christmas......now my nephew, Jason is carrying on that tradition!
 
We did get to 28 degrees today.   SNOW coming tomorrow, especially at night with 3-5" predicted!
 
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
Michael and Anne!!!
