Christmas Past (day 25)

I just can't seem to put away the photographs sent from family and friends at Christmastime. So, they still hang on the back of my front door where I can look at them multiple times throughout the day.

Recipes: food, family, and friends...travel and tradition

I spent the late afternoon putting some of my favorite recipes back in their box after having them accumulate, from frequent use, next to my stove. New favorites were also transcribed from their scraps of paper onto new recipe cards. I love my recipe collection. It makes me feel close to family and friends when we are so far away. New additions also remind me of where we have traveled. Hotteok and kimbap are new additions entering the box today.

Donuts for Dads

Today at Robin's school they had a Father's Day party called "Donuts for Dads." Daddy brought Robin a pink rose! The kids serenaded their Dads, painted pictures of donuts and then shared a snack together. It was a special afternoon!
After school we went and played at the park with a number of Robin's classmates. The girls were enjoying looking at the fountain up until the wind changed direction! They ran once they started getting wet!
