... let's talk about me

Oh how young we were

Hi, my name is Joan. Among many things… I am a mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, domestic engineer,  etc., etc., etc., but most importantly I’m a wife. I met my husband Steve when I was 15 years old and he was 17 years old. That was 42 years ago. Go ahead do the math… I’ll wait. My joy in life has been raising my three great kids, Jessica, Seth and Emily. All grown now and all very artistic and talented. (I think they got that from me…) My life has been rich in adventure and I give credit to Steve for that. Early on we made clear decisions to live outside the box and although at times a struggle it has been well worth it.

This blog idea was born one night at the dinner table when I was telling Jessica  ”I can serve your dad anything for dinner and he never complains about it”. I am a good cook but get very lazy some days and throw the worst stuff together to eat. Those days I’ll pass on the meal and eat cereal instead. A year is a long time but my goal is to post everyday (almost) what I feed my husband. It could be either breakfast, lunch or dinner I make at home. It could be going out to dinner or even delivery. He could even be on his own. I hope to try new recipes and keep our old favorites in the blend. I will add some personal insight to our lives as well.  So to new friends and old ones wish me luck. I’ll be starting this on January 1, 2010.
