a favorite place
i have a handful of EXTREME favorite places. it's my guess that many of you that read this can guess about three of them. i also think that every single one of you can guess one for sure no doubt.
it's a place i have been going since i was about 4 or 5 that i will never tire of. it looked like this when i first went. although i remember it in color.
well this love/obsession is shared with my sweet little sister and a couple of close friends (Randy & Darlene). Darlene is aware of the fact that i am a tiny bit blue because Bill is down in LA with Michael right now and if I was with them... we would be at Disneyland! instead they went to boring old dinner and a movie... bah!
anyway Darlene sent this to cheer me, and it did! in my world this is pretty magically awesome. and yes... i do believe in the Disney Magic, really.

a day to be thankful
i do apologize for the long length between my posts. having all of the kids home for a belated Christmas celebration riddled with horrible flu... then the year end/first of the year bookkeeping duties. it just about put me under! i even got ANOTHER new camera, but have not even cracked it open yet.
i so dislike blogging without a picture to attach! so sorry... none here.
i am just super warmed and touched in my heart today and have a desire to shout out and rejoice!
even though i did not vote for our new President (remember i am a bookkeeper in a small business in Oregon, taxes ARE an issue in my life!) i am delighted to be living a piece of history that i will always remember. i so wish my father could have seen a black american become the leader of our great Nation. even though i was raised in the 60's and 70's, prejudice did not exist in my home and for that i am thankful. i celebrate with this Country on our new leader and wish him the best in making it into the dream he does believe in. we all know, the job is already one of the most difficult there is.
secondly. i have had the extreme blessing today of repairing a relationship that has been hurt, broken and lost for much to long. i have a true need for a deep friendship with this dear friend. i love her like my sisters and am thankful we have begun the road of restoring what was lost.
this heart that is often a lot more empty and hurting than most of you know... is filled with love and joy today.
for these i am thankful.
okay... i found a picture. i love this shot.

the best thing in the world
is spending the day in my kitchen cooking, with my entire family sitting around the table and sound of them arguing over and over while playing the game apples to apples.
yes, it's the best. i like it.

what a difference...
a week makes. yes this is the same yard one week later! it's amazing what a huge mess a lot of snow, rain, warmer temps can make.
also it is SOOOOOOO WINDY today. i am trying to figure out if this ENORMOUS tree that is right next to our house looks like it's leaning? i think it does! oh wind go away.
snugly warm inside though. Christmas is almost here for us! tomorrow at this time our entire family will be home together and we can celebrate the time of year that, for several reasons, brings us together. i am looking forward to it.
so that's why the stockings are all still hung here, waiting to be stuffed... tomorrow night!
yay!
