Winter Relaxation

Country Living
Happy New Year!  After 2,500 road miles, unpacking, laundry and taking down Christmas decor, I'm ready for some relaxation.  How about a warm fire with my new love? Apple Cider. 
The boxed instant drink mix heats in the microwave for instant comfort. Half a package mixed with pure apple juice=100 calories/0 fat grams.  Less fattening than hot cocoa w/whipped cream (my Christmas time staple.) 


Thanks to all who left sweet comments and wishes while I was away.  I must admit, a 2 week break from technology was quite refreshing. We had a wonderful time with family during the holidays.  
Someone asked me to share about the trip Doc gave me.  Well, sorry to disappoint, it was not an exotic destination but rather a two day trip to my old hometown of Houston.  Time saving and penny pinching. The important thing-  it was just the two of us, a rare happening. Enjoyed every moment.
We stayed at the Marriott at the Galleria.  Love going there at Christmas time to browse the shops and gaze at the giant tree in the middle of ice rink.

And of course we visited two of my favorite restaurants- 
Chuy's (miss my Tex Mex!)
and the delectable Cheesecake Factory. 
This is exactly what I had for dessert!

Now you know why I'm watching calories and counting fat grams. 

I'm enjoying catching up on all of your blogs.  So many lovely posts.  Seems everyone is already busy planning projects.  I'm still trying to catch my breath.

 Maybe a brainstorm will hit while I lay here in my pj's sipping  cider.
