Christmas break has included some serious down time for this Mama {a much appreciated gift of time from my spouse!}....
So I journeyed upstate a bit to visit my sister in the big city of New York, taking in some rest and relaxation and the sites of bustling life in a metropolitan area.
~ cooped up for a morning in her apartment, I enjoyed the treats this gracious sibling of mine provided!
~ hot tea and good books, a great combination
~ perusing through her many cookbooks!

~ naturally there were many options of international food, Peruvian and Cuban were our cuisines of choice.
A relaxing set of days!
