Happy New Year Everybody!!!

This was our dessert for New Year's Eve and it was soooooo delicious. Actually, it was so rich that I could not finish mine and enjoyed it again on New Year's Day. Between the pecan pie and the butter cookies for Christmas and this delicious dessert we definitely need to go back to our diet.

It has been a while since I have last posted and lots of things have happened since then. The biggest one right now is that I have found a job as an inventory analyst. I am working since Thanksgiving week through an employment agency a 90 day contract, but the company has already said that they will take me over after the contract expires. I have a very nice boss and really like my job, which is an added bonus for finding employment again. Doug has not been as lucky yet, but I am sure something will come along for him also.

In regard to the weather we really can't complain to much. It has been a very dry December for Seattle standards and we only had frozen windshields a couple of times. It just seems to wrong to own a windshield scraper again. The winds have been so strong that our temporary roof over the bedroom has come down, but since the tree has lost all its leaves, we won't put it up again right now. It is amazing how strong the gusts get around here and you have to be careful about trees and debris on the road. We actually lost power for about two hours due to the strong winds the other night.

We are also working on another big project, but I am not ready to talk about it. It is in the beginning stages and I want to wait until it firms up a little bit more before sharing it will all of you.

We wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!!!
