search for the Kirtland's Warbler
June: reindeer barbecue on our cruise to Svalbart on the National Geographic Explorer
July: Miriam enjoying her sandwich at the Coffee Shack, Captain Cook, HI. And my Eggs Benedict with fresh tuna.
August: Delicious fish at Merriman's in Waimea, also on the Big Island of Hawaii.

December: So many favorites! We had latkes in Ann Arbor and Indiana,
Bavarian sausage and potato salad for Christmas Eve, and
Polish Christmas Dinner. Here's the sausage!
It's been a wonderful year full of delightful meals with friends and family. We had lots of good meals alone at home, as well as many out. Thanks to everyone who shared with us! And Happy New Year to all.

You had some delicious meals over the past year---I know we ate at Merriman's, too, when in Hawaii. And we live just an hour from Lafayette, IN---my oldest went to Purdue :) Happy New Year, Mae!
