A Gentle New Years Day


Our family celebrated New Years Day with a potluck at my daughter, Laurel's home. It was an exceedingly gently day, with a little soft music, quiet conversation, and food. Taraz and his friend, Megan are pictured here. There were 13 of us there, including my family and my former husband and his family.

Laurel made split pea soup in a big pot, we brought chicken and garlic bread, and Laurel's Dad brought ham and cheeses. Fresh fruit, a pot of brown rice, appetisers and cookies rounded out our lunch.
