New address

So today I changed my blog address. When I gave it the name aruna's place I was thinking the blog would be an experiment and had no vision of anyone ever reading it. Turns out there's maybe a handful of people who do...and I hear that it's hard to remember my address. Thus the change. Responding to public demand.

So here it is Saturday Jan 3 and I'm having a quiet few days while Dan is dog-sitting for his Mom's little dog, Molly. I love the sound of no football. Oh, and the sound of no barking. I can't emphasize that one enough! Peace and quiet is what I crave most in this world......sighhhh.

Tonight for dinner, to celebrate my temporary single-ness, I had a wonderful little steak, fresh asparagus and risotto. Haven't done that in a long time. Let's have a toast to me eating lots of fresh, well-prepared meals for the rest of the year.

Here are a couple of pictures....Lara and Per Olav brought his best friend, Kalle, for the week of Christmas. We enjoyed the 3 of them so much! Lots of eating, drinking and laughing. I wasn't able to go to Christmas Eve at the Carpenters, but the 3 of them went with Dan and were the hit of the night. They just seem to have fun wherever they go! The other picture is just another of many, many snow scenes we had for a few weeks. This one is snow falling on our already deep-in-snow back yard.
