In this photo, there are mothers & fathers, sons & daughters, grandparents and grandchildren, husbands & wives, even ex-husbands & ex-wives. There are Smiths & Finches, Metcalfs & Monacos, Kuhns & O'Steens, and a future Bravo. This is family, my family. I am truly thankful for them all.

This weekend I made chicken pot pies, spaghetti sauce, stuffed shells, & minestrone. Of course, I baked bread, too.
