Last Sunday was pasta making day at the Martini's! Grandpa Martini, who is 90 years old, is here visiting and so that means we get homemade pasta! It takes a lot of muscle to make the spaghetti and gnocchi, so everyone pitches in to help. We also wanted to take notes and learn as much as we could so in years to come, we can carry on the pasta making tradition with our kids and grand kids. Grandpa likes making pasta here in Colorado because it drys so quickly. In Michigan, with the humidity, it might take a couple of days to dry. Once again, we had a very tasty meal the next day with homemade sauce too!! Thank you Grandpa Martini!!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving....again at the Martini house! We had a wonderful dinner with family and new friends. We are so thankful for a loving family, great friends, good health and beautiful, healthy daughters. We are also very thankful for having food to fill our stomachs and a roof over our heads keeping us safe and warm each night. We hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
