Apparently my powers of persuasion are rusty. No matter what I said, my parents still decided to go back home. We all really miss them and by we I mean me, Zoe, Navy, Dixie, Phoenix, the chickens and bunnies. Charlie probably misses them too but it’s hard to tell lol! 
I’m going to back up a few weeks and rave about our delicious New Years Eve dinner. Mom created three appetizer courses focussing on local seafood. The first course was fish cakes. She simplified her recipe from last year and made a winner! 
Second course was lobster crepes. I made the crepes and let’s say mom is a miracle worker to have plated such a pretty course because those crepes were not pretty!
Finally, the piece de resistance, maple bourbon scallops! These were the most amazing scallops I have ever had.
We polished off the meal with berry and chocolate filled meringues. All of this enjoyed with some amazing wine and we had a lovely New Years Eve!!
I am still adjusting to mom and dad being gone. While they are here they do so much. From keeping the fire burning all day, the rack full of wood, the chickens fed, the dog walked, the dishes done, meals cooked, tress trimmed, tires changed, the list goes on and on. I am very grateful to have Zoe and Navy living with me this winter and both be so willing to help out with all the house and farm chores. I can not remember how I possibly did it all last year on my own. (Except the fire did not stay burning all day, dishes did pile up in the sink and the house was rarely vacuumed!)
