tonight we went to our favorite place to go during the holidays -- Logan's Candy Shop in downtown ontario with some of our favorite folks, craig and kellie and their kids.
what a fun time. the kids got to bend their own canes [thanks, lori!] and taste warm samples -- yum! i tell you, if you have never had a warm candy cane freshly made, you have got to try it sometime in your life. once you have a homemade candy cane, you'll never buy store bought canes again... yes, i am a candy cane snob.
afterward, we headed to P-town where paul and kieva joined us for some amazing Mexican grub from one of Brian's favorite places to eat when we lived there, El Merendero. try 10 kids and 4 adults... we were seriously outnumbered. but it was all good... every bit. i had chile verde, but it wasn't nearly as good as brian's.... maybe i'm a bit partial. **smile** we'll be making his version on new year's eve with tomatillos and peppers from his garden. i could eat that stuff for every meal... it's that good.
good friends. fresh candy canes. yummy Mexican food. these are blessings and a comfort in our Life After.
