| | Holidays happen all the time. Then again, from a "day off of
work" perspective, they are very few and far between. Anyway, here's
some holiday photos. Mostly, we use holidays to remember... be it previous
holidays, events of a religious or secular nature, or just people. I like
the people remembering part, as I have many great holiday memories of the people
who are special in my life.

Christmas Baking: I made a Stöllen this year (2000). Actually,
several LARGE ones. Martha Stewart's recipe is fit to feed a large
crowd. |
 |
I made and decorated a bunch of cut out cookies this year. Using
paste colors made the frosting very vivid. |
 |
More cookies and treats, all made by me (except the m&m's, of
course....). |
 |
Here's a view of the Pierogi Production Center. |
 |
...and here's a view of a bunch of the little buggers, all ready to be
boiled! |
 |
The table is all set for Christmas Day Dinner, Christmas 2000.
Ready, set, eat! |
 |
Easter 2001. The table is all set, and we're about ready to dig
in. Ham, a Gratin, and all the trimmings! |
 |
Easter. 2001 A double celebration. HBR = Happy Birthday Rick.
It was Rick's birthday, too, so this cake I decorated did double duty! |
 |
Thanksgiving 2001. The table is set. The food is prepared
and ready. Let's eat! |
 |
Cornbread dressing served in a pumpkin. A stuffed pumpkin, I
guess. |
 |
The guest of honor. Or at least one half of him. This bird
provided us with a fine feast! |
 |
Here it is: our home decorated for Christmas 2001. A very
patriotic theme, as you may be able to see. This is a panorama shot of
the whole front of the house. The colors are all red, white, and
blue! |

Easter. March 31, 2001. |
 |
Here is our simple Easter meal: Ham, green bean casserole, corn muffins,
and a potato gratin. Yumm! |
 |
The guest of honor: quite the ham! |
 |
Had to have dessert, of course. Chocolate cake, chocolate
frosting, decorated with chocolate candies. Think there might be a
chocoholic in the family?? Hmmm.... |
 |
Christmas 2002 found us with a very simple outside decoration. |
 |
Inside, the house was warm with the glow of Christmas lights.... and
the fireplace helps, too. |
 |
The Christmas Dinner table is ready for us to sit down and partake of
the feast. We did eat our fill.... and then some! |
 |
