Remnants 2009




After our Anniversary dinner, hubby and I took a stroll in downtown Raleigh.


 Here are the photos we took of some historic homes.










The Governor's mansion.






And a city street as we wiz through it.



We were so frozen that night and so stuffed with steak, salad and shrimp that we didn't spend much time taking photos. We managed to snap a few good shots between shivering and teeth chattering.


The next day, Dec 24th, I made 2 batches of cookies and by the end of the day we had 2 more plates of cookies delivered from awesome neighborhood families!


Oh Diet Fairy, be thy friend of kindness through the
new year!


That is it! I promise, no more Christmas until November...ummm, maybe October.
