It is unbelievable that I am 50 already. Time goes by so quickly. Kim organized a small birthday for me. All my favorite friends, my favorite food. Momi sent a box of 50 gifts!!  All my favorite snacks and candies. So sweet for the family to send well wishes!!

Happy New Year

Our regular tradition of traveling NYC over New Years, had to be curtailed this year because we went to Vegas for Christmas.  We opted for a more quiet new years this year.  But it was soooo good that this might become the new tradition.

On the Eve we went to our favorite fondue restaurant!!

Then that evening we went to Annapolis harbor and had good luck in getting really close, with our car, to view the fireworks, and not have to fuss with the crowds and the cold weather!!  It was perfect!!

Then on new years day we made tempura for dinner!!  A family favorite!!
