Christmas day never seemed to end because the morning after Christmas I drove a friend to the airport for a 6:00 a.m. flight, which he almost missed! But still made it, thank goodness! Not to say I didn't enjoy staying up to chat and see him off before going home. It was just a really long day! I stopped at the Clearwater Travel Plaza for coffee and a loaf of Apple Fritter bread at 6:10 a.m. (they opened at 6 I believe). Then another half an hour home. Finally went to bed at 8:00 a.m.... and woke at 9:30 and 11:00 to Keona bringing me something to share, or asking a question. Finally, I got up at 1:00 p.m. because I couldn't sleep anymore with all of the interruptions. Haha.
Then came Monday, and Keona and I visited my aunt, Marlene, for dinner. We brought a small loaf of homemade banana bread to share, the Best Banana Bread according to America's Test Kitchen. My family and friends agree it IS the best banana bread! Before eating, Keona had a good time playing with Marlene's dog, Butch. Here is a picture of Keona and Butch together.
And that brings me to tonight. After putting Keona to bed, I watched Julie & Julia. Wow, what a great movie! It was a really touching movie about the love of cooking, the love of relationships, and love of friendships. I would definitely recommend everyone to watch this movie! And thank you to those who recommended it to me! I LOVED it!!
