Today is the first day of 2013 and it has been a restful one; a beautiful day of rest and relaxation. I had my lovely breakfast of two pieces of rye toast with fig preserves and 3 cups of coffee. I read all of my e-mails, I wrote my daily comment on the state of affairs going on during this fiscal cliff crisis; drives me nuts, and I answered the Plinky prompt. Like I said; a lovely late morning.

My hubby and I are spending time together as always though my hubby and the baby girl watched episode after episode of Doctor Who while I caught up with my episodes of General Hospital. Jack and I did our mile long walk twice already and he was fed his vittels, so he’s a happy camper.

I took a small amount of time to make stuffed mushrooms the way my mother-in-law or Nonnie as we called her, made them. They are the easiest to make; saute two onions and four cloves of garlic, both finely minced, in a mixture of olive oil and butter, add the mushroom stems finely chopped to the onion and garlic along with some dried oregano and thyme and saute until soft. I then add Italian seasoned breadcrumbs with some more butter to the onion, garlic, mushroom mixture until the mixture binds together and then I lightly season with salt and pepper. I stuff the mushroom caps and put them into a 350 oven for about twenty minutes and voila stuffed mushrooms.

Now I am sitting down writing about this beautiful day and the start of a new year. I am not even thinking beyond the next hour; that is how restful this day is.:)

I don’t think there any plans for us this weekend, no one is coming to visit, we aren’t slated to visit anyone. The weekend is free and clear. How wonderful and liberating. Having two children licensed to drive is a huge reason for the freedom of time. When the two were younger, we had sports events to drive to, skiing was really high on the list at one point, we also had sleep-overs at our house, sleep-overs to drive to, birthday parties and weekends seemed abnormally short.

Now the hubby and I can luxuriate in our time heavy weekend. Aside from the dogs needing me I don’t have anything on the agenda. Our son came over to visit this afternoon and mentioned perhaps seeing a movie with us if we were up for it. Translation, he would rather see a movie with us than his friends because it’s cheaper for him. Do we care? No, because spending an afternoon with our son at the movies and then at Arby’s is a treat. It is always wonderful spending time with baby Bob.

Our daughter is busy all weekend with her friends and boyfriend. Tonight she is at her semi-formal with the gang, she won’t be home until later, she invited the gang to sleep over as an extended party. Which leads into Saturday, she has plans with her friends during the day and then she has another couple’s event at the Church organized by the Youth group. Sunday will be her day of rest and I’m sure that she is going to need it, since there will have been a lot of dancing at the semi-formal, the sleep-over and probably the couple’s event as well.

So tomorrow morning I’ll be sleeping late or rather as late as Rex, our German Shepard, will allow me to, he is patient. After the dogs being walked and given biscuits and supplements, it is my turn for breakfast and coffee. I know that I won’t be seeing any young people for awhile. I’ll be enjoying my quiet time with my bowl of Crispix and coffee while reading my e-mail and then the Huffington Post. Yay for me.
