Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 with my family - brother and his daughter and granddaughter. They drove from Illinois to spend time with us. We had a wonderful time together. This was the last Christmas with my Mother who died on January 4, 2011. 

Blackberry Wine Cake

Made this Blackberry Wine Cake for Christmas this year.  Used the Rooster Black wine from Weathervane Winery http://www.weathervanewinery.com/default.html. The cake was quite good and moist - disappeared in one day.
