“If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” ~ Roald Dahl, The Twits
NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It’s my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian ‘Quote Cup’ passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!
We had our semi-annual photo shoot a few weeks ago… love these preview shots of our grandchildren. They must be thinking lots of good thoughts because their faces were shining like sunbeams.
