The mailbox~ El correo


waiting for the mail.
it's cold, only 5F for the highs today.
have to be careful crossing the street.
icy roads.
Have a wonderful Friday my friends. What are your plans?
I'm planning some quality time with friends and maybe try a  new recipe: it's an asian pesto I had when one of my Mom's friends invited us for lunch earlier this week, it had basil, peppermint, cilantro, olive oil and lemon juice, sounds good right?

  4. I agree Babs, seeing the mailboxes lined up like that and all different colors, sort of nostalgic. You should have seen me, I went to the mailbox and then I turned and I thought, 'oh, this would be a great photo,' so I went back and found the camera, and my fingers were freezing, but I had to take pictures! LOL

  5. That Asian Pesto sounds delicious. I had plans to stay bundled up this weekend due to the cold weather "it'll be -5 tomorrow." But this being the last weekend of school vacation, I decided to take advantage of it. I will join a friend for wine and dinner tomorrow and bake on Sunday.

    Have a nice weekend!!

  11. I am going to a salad supper then to the theatre with a group of friends. I am taking a bean & bacon salad from a cookbook I have been reading called "A Taste of Croatia." Absolutely fabulous cookbook that incorporates information, history & pictures of Croatia from the author & her husband's 3 years there cruising on a sailboat. She obviously loved the country, its people, & its food. I am dying to visit Croatia for hopefully an extended visit or possible retirement with my husband. I LOVE your blog! Sweet stories with your family but also fabulous pictures & descriptions that help us trying to make such a decision have a better idea of what it might be like. Keep it up!

  12. Great mailbox photo and for sure a delicious Asian Pesto you are going to cook. Unfortunately I have to work on drawing plans today for my studies, so there's no time to relax, but it's a lot of rain outside so maybe it's not the worst to do on a day like that! Best wishes!
