Today in History: My beautiful Co-Worker Nicole was born into the world, Happy birthday Nicole!!!!

YES it’s Friday, the day we have waited for all week! Is it just me or did this week seem like it when on forever and ever?

RECAP OF LAST NIGHT

We met up with our Thursday night group and went to the Farmers Market here in town, it’s at night which I know is unique to our little town. We had so much fun, watched the carolers, shopped for breads, shopped for produce, and had some hot chocolate afterward. I didn’t get too much there, just some carrots (for the pot roast I am making today), a mini butternut squash and some sourdough bread (for the hubby of course).


Before we left I made this beautiful Cranberry Salmon Salad!
