Well, I almost FORGOT to do my Pink Saturday post. When I literally crawled into bed late last night, I remembered that it was Friday night..Ooops. With having the adult kids for Christmas, and dealing with my folks 59th Anniversary and Christmas, and our POWER going out last night..no post until now.
Many thanks to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for, as always, being a gracious hostess for our posts..
Not much pink going on so I think I will just post some fave pictures from this week. My mom and dad celebrated their 59th anniversary on Christmas eve, and as they were celebrating, just the two of them, at a local Brazilian restaurant, as they were getting ready to pay the bill, their waiter told them that it had been anonymously paid for. Of course, their first thought it must have been me, my sister or my brother. But no, an anonymous benefactor right there in the restaurant. The folks were so shocked and surprised and I told them now it was their turn to pay it forward..So I hope they do..
Aren’t they cute??

We skyped with my sister Cindy and hubby Bruce who were home in Illinois and unable to be with us or her kids living in CA..She was able to watch them open their gifts..

Hi Barb....It is Terry again. You ask where we got the pink salt. It is called Real Salt and we get it at health food stores. It is not as acidic as regular table salt. I love how it makes my food taste. The only thing I don't like about it is the trace minerals that look like sand....who knows maybe it is sand and it has the minerals in it. It is pink because of the natural iodine in it.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear you are house bound most of the time.....NOT FUN. I stay pretty close to home myself in the winter time.
Hope you have a great New Year. Talk to you later. Terry
Looks like a lovely family time. :-)
ReplyDeleteBarb, congratulations to your parents for their anniversary. My parents would have celebrated 59 years yesterday. My father passed away 23 years ago, but my mother is with us.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas celebration looks wonderful, and the food must have been delicious.
Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Happy Pink Saturday, a little late!
ReplyDeleteBarb, thanks for visiting my blog, so sorry I couldn't have met you while we were out there. We are back on Cape Cod after a week in Palm Springs. We're all native Californians too. Send me your email, I'd love to talk more!
