White

It is  a beautiful thing to wake up in a snow covered world, snug in my bed, warm covers surrounding me as the wind blows the snow off the branches. Doubly beautiful is when it happens on a Sunday so I can linger under those covers and enjoy the view.
This small snowfall was the perfect [...]

I did it.

So here we are at the end of November. I posted every day of the month, I am pleased to say. I loved every minute of it.  I hope you had some pleasurable moments as well. While I will not promise posting every day (I know I will not in the coming months) I [...]

musings and a bit of begging at the end

Another Thanksgiving, come and gone. How does time go so fast? I have a decent amount of leftovers which some will become a wonderful turkey tetrazzini tomorrow or the next night. A few sandwiches, a soup and we’ll be done. Our fill of turkey.  Tonight I made a lasagna, not being about to think turkey [...]

Santa came early

Our tv was not old by MY standards. We got it about 7 or 8 years ago, the newest on the market of the time. We were on the cutting edge of tv watching. But, as in all areas of technology, not for long.

My thankfulness goes on… Thankful Thursday!

~I am thankful that I have the ability to knit something, to warm my neck.
~I am thaaaankful for all the sheep who gave their wool so that I can knit a scarf to keep [...]

Frosty wordless Wednesday

You don’t have to hit me over the head with a comet (3 years in a row!)

One of my favorite memories of our camping trips in New Hampshire when the kids were small was when Bethany was about 3 years old. She had to get up during the middle of every night to use the bathroom (which you like to encourage in a 3 year old, if you know what I [...]

Yes, in fact, I DO love a bargain!

Well, apparently bargain hunters everywhere got a memo that I did not get. Bethany and I did a little Christmas shopping at the Christmas Tree Shop this afternoon and it was MOBBED. Mobbed like there was a giveaway of something wonderful and expensive mobbed. Mobbed like Christmas Eve at 3 pm mobbed. Mobbed like Black [...]
