Today I want to take the opportunity to give thanks for getting to know Toni Taddeo.  Her grace and beauty was always centermost in all of her blog posts and her sweet gentle nature was evident to all who knew her.  Blogland lost a precious , creative, artistic writer and friend this week. This last post she shared is one of the most precious and exemplifies her heart to the world.

A Repeat ~ Just Wondering

1. When was the last time you tried something new?:

I  made up a new recipe last night. I  needed to use up some eggs and  a couple slices of very expensive country  deli ham. ($22. /lb)  so I    sauteed  onion, red pepper, and the ham in butter with   Worcestershire, and  I added a dash of nutmeg..  after it was  all    cooked through I mixed up 4 eggs with some half and half  and shredded Parmesan cheese and poured over all in the  saute pan  then  place the  over proof pan in the oven for  35 minutes.  YUM!  The nutmeg was a good  choice.    Went very well with all!

2. Who in your family do you compare yourself to?:

I still am much like my mother.. I even saw her face staring back at me in the mirror this morning and I smiled!

3. What lesson in life did you learn the hard way?:

Well, I didn't learn it well,  but  to pass my  required swimming course... believe me.. it was  so very hard!!!

4. What can you do today that you weren't able to do before?:

I  really do not like this question  because I am always reminded of what I used to do  that cannot anymore like jump or run.   But I will say, I  was an accomplished pianist  as a young student.. I played Rhapsody in Blue for my  final recital..   but over time  I have  gone very rusty.. My eyes have been partly to blame...  nevertheless, I  had gotten so I was actually afraid to even try to play but yesterday I  pulled out my Christmas carol book and practice through the book.  I spent a good hour  playing getting better and better. more and more fluid!  I am so glad I  have overcome my   deep feeling against playing.  BTW,  since my cataract correction  my eyes are no longer an issue!
