Happy New Year!

We are spending several weeks in Orange Beach, AL.  For Christmas we flew to San Antonio to see family.  We had a wonderful time and after a trip to McNay Art Museum my granddaughters and I caught the photo bug and had fun taking "artistic" photos on the museum grounds. 

We also took the family to see Trans Siberian Orchestra.  We all enjoyed the show...

We welcomed the new year at the RV park.  At midnight we stood outside (in 20 degree temperature) and watched the fireworks from The Wharf (an outdoor mall across the street).

Did you make any New Years resolutions?  I didn't. But I remembered what my mother always told me--whatever you do on January 1 you will do a lot of in the coming year so make sure you do what you enjoy.  The new year found me making a copycat recipe of Lambert's Throwed Rolls.  Lambert's is a restaurant in Foley, AL where they throw large, hot, delicious rolls at you.  Everything they serve is delicious but the rolls are out of this world!  I was so excited that my rolls came out almost exactly like Lambert's rolls!  My rolls were maybe a little bit smaller than theirs, but they were every bit as good! 

The weather has thankfully returned to more normal temps here with highs in the 50s and 60s.  We plan to take advantage of the nice weather and get in a lot of biking and walking on the beach before heading out to Destin FL on January 31.
