luck and money

Like the good southern girl that I am, we began the new year off right by enjoying a traditional meal of homemade jalapeno black-eyed peas, sautéed cabbage, and cornbread. Of course we threw in a tasty bottle of red wine, just for good measure.

I’m sharing a picture of the view from the kitchen, which is one of my favorite aspects of this house. In the summer, it’s fresh and green. In the fall, it’s color. In the winter, it’s serenity. I love that window.

So here’s to 2011 – may it bring “riches” beyond measure to all those whom I hold dear.
