Hello Everyone!

I can’t believe it’s December.  Yesterday we had our first flurry.  I looked up and there it was, just out the window….big, fluffy flakes swirling around.  It didn’t last long but it made me smile for most of the day.  That’s all it takes to put me in the Holiday spirit.   I never get tired of this time of year.  I’m afraid that I am one of those annoying people who starts with that warm, fuzzy holiday feeling early and is loathe to let it go.  My family is used to me.  I met a man once who told me that his wife had never put up a Christmas tree…..she always put up a Thanksgiving tree.  If I thought Mark wouldn’t laugh at me…….

Mark gets into December his own way by adding some plates to the menu that know how to warm you up.  He has added his own version of Beef Stroganoff.  He uses tenderloin and tops it with sautéed pickle and onion.  For pity!!!    He has also added Osso Bucco!   Osso Bucco!    I have no words.  

You know what’s next…..yes…..wine!  I love our delicious wine flight.  We always offer three different wines served together with a description.  It is always changing but at the moment I have three California blends, blended in the Bordeaux style.  So much fun!  

I am always reminding you to take a moment each day to enjoy life and today is no different.  Just take time to look up…perhaps out your window and find something that makes you smile all day.  

Now….I have to run….time to get my wreath.   

Hope to see you soon,

Melody
