………………Yesterday, I had a Christmas visit from my nephew Chris, his girlfriend Danielle, and her son Nick…….They arrived about 2:00pm so I had some snacks prepared…..assorted cheeses with fig and walnut spread, crackers, cheese sticks and Italian bread, veggies and dip….shrimp….and of course a plate of cookies….There were other things to nibble on too…..Nick had just flown in from Texas, where he goes to university, and plays football….so of course we watched Kansas City trounce Houston on TV…..but…..Nick never made it to the end…..he fell asleep in front of the heat of the fire place….That’s him in the lower right photo under the blankets…….We had a 5:30pm dinner reservation at a restaurant in Westport Ct. called….”ZUCCA”….Bottom two center phot0s….Everything was delicious!……Then back to my house for some Raspberry Cheesecake with fresh whipped cream…..Nick who is 18, had a party to go to, and us older folk were getting tired, so they all left at about 8:00…………….Oh to be 18 again!….or at least have the energy of an 18 year old!!!!
