I cooked! I don't do that very often. This is Hungarian Chicken Goulash made with sweet paprika I brought back from Hungary. Good! The recipe is from Lunds/Byerlys.

Today, I detoured out of my way a few blocks to drive by the house I grew up in. It hasn't changed on the outside.

One of my favorite places-a book store. Today, I spent over $60 here!

Thanks QoE for your suggestion to have a staff member climb their ladder to take an overall picture. By the time the nice young man had taken 4 pictures for me, 4 staff members and 1 customer had gathered to see what was going one. Here are the first 2!

Last year I got one of these vases of tulips from Costco and found them there again last night. They are fun as you can practically see them growing. I will post pictures when the tulips are in bloom.

The Russian book is for preparation for my trip to Russia in May.

Today we took down the Christmas decorations. This is one of my treasured things, as my mother made it in her ceremics class many years ago.

A Pencil drawing done by our daughter. The photograph is not good, as it has a yellow tint from not enough light. Will try again when we see her again.
