snow season

MORGAN: Well, so far, 2010 has been a snowy one! Kansas City has gotten tons of snow and usually I am hating it, but this year I have really taken in how beautiful the snow is. I've even had fun driving around in it-you never know what is going to happen and you just have to roll with it, so I'm taking this as a lesson on how to approach the new year. Welcome 2010, I'm ready to roll with whatever you have in store.

special post: Carrie's Bridal Luncheon

MORGAN: I'm interrupting our regularly scheduled events to share some (long-overdue) photos from Carrie's Bridal Luncheon! We had great weather (which is always a gamble for August in Kansas City), great food and lots of fun!!

{ left: favors for the guests were homemade strawberry-lime soft jams, right: the lovely hostess who also happens to by my mom, Barbara, serving up some tasty lunch}

{ yummm: curried chicken salad wraps, corn pudding & thai cucumber pickle salad }

{ dessert: fresh strawberries served on orange-zested shortcakes with fresh whipped cream }
