WELL ANOTHER DAY SPENT TAKING CHRISTMAS DOWN. I AM TIRED AND GOING TO CALL IT A DAY. I DID DE-NUDE THE TREE AND GOT ALL THE ORNAMENTS PUT TO REST FOR ANOTHER YEAR'S REST.
I BEGAN A SCARF THAT I WANTED TO MAKE FOR A VALENTINE GIFT AND I AM THINKING THE YARN I PURCHASED IS TOO THICK. I WANTED IT TO HAVE A LACY LOOK AND IT ISN'T HAPPENING. GOOD THING I HAVE CLASS TOMORROW SO I CAN PERUSE THE YARN BINS AND GET OPINIONS.
ALSO, WILL BEGIN THE WATCH OF THE GRANDS FOR THE WEEK. IT SHOULD BE FUN, BUT BUSY I AM SURE!!
I WANTED TO INCLUDE A PICTURE TO THIS POST, BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCESS MY FILES?? OH WELL.....
I STOPPED BY STARBUCKS ON MY WAY HOME AND TRIED THE NEW VANILLA SPICE LATTE....IT WAS OK. NOT A FAV.
LATER PEEPS.

Northwest Photography
This is a picture from a site that I follow on Facebook and also a blog by the same person in Vermont. I love her pictures and aspire to be able to capture photo's one day as well as she. This is a link to her blog:
Once you get there you can peruse her different area's of photography also. So fun and interesting.
Well today will be the day of disassembling Christmas!! It is sad to take it all down ~ it gives the house such a merry feel. Will just have to find some snowmen to take up the feel of joy LOL.
Also, trying very hard to stay healthy. I am really counting on that flu shot everyone (Dr.s) encouraged me so much to get. Everyone around me has been ill.....really ill!! Three pneumonia's ill. DH gets up this morning and says I really don't feel good today. I hope I am not getting that s*** !!! NICE.......I assumed he already had it with his last hospital stay!
Just a note about something that has been on my mind lately:
SNOWFLAKES
Just a note about something that has been on my mind lately:
SNOWFLAKES
Reminds me of a time when my sister Cindy, Amy and I went to a Teahouse while Cindy was visiting. When we came out to the car it was snowing ~ and on our coats we saw the most perfectly shaped snowflakes ever. We could actually see every beautiful part of the perfect snoflake, it was amazing. Of course we tried to take pictures (probably with our phone as we didn't have a camera that I can recall anyway) and of course, they didn't turn out. This thought process all came about, because, as I left Church on Wednesday morning - there they were again, on my windshield. Falling from the sky just as perfect as before. Sometimes, miracles just happen!!
Ok, back to my caffe (French Press brew with Sweet Cream froth) and carrying on with the dismantling of Christmas. Do check out the NW Photography site....you will enjoy!!

Happy New Year 2013
Well, I guess it is time for the Holiday Season to come to a close with this New Year Day Celebration. I will choose I think to leave the decorations up until January 6th as I am not ready to put them all away yet. It makes the house look so festive, and I was still putting finishing touches out on December 23rd I believe!! LOL
It seemed to be an unusual Season this year for me. We celebrated Halloween with the littles and then it seemed things went all askew. Mike ended up in the hospital for 3 days with what turned out to be pneumonia with fluid at the base of his lung (which was extracted). Then a friend came to spend two weeks here while she took some classes over in Maple Grove (not too far from here). I did get a few decos out before she came but then things got very busy while she was here. She ended up having a crisis with her health and that threw me into a mood, as she pleaded with me to take care of her and literally, two weeks before Christmas, I didn't have the time. I needed to finish up the Christmas boxes for the kiddos (24 little gifts for each day before Christmas) and get them delivered. Then there was the actual Christmas shopping and wrapping and decorating. I never did get my Christmas cards out. We entertained at our home for Christmas Eve (21 people) and then had our kids and their families on Christmas Day......very much fun!! The Sunday before Xmas I had a flashing going on in the right eye, so got that checked out last Wed.......now I am being watched for a detachment of the retina....hoping it will pass. AND to top it all off, I got called for Jury Duty starting Jan 22nd. I put in for a postponement until March and hope it works. Sister Cindy is coming for a January visit and I don't want to be busy with all of that hoopla. It will be great to have her here, as Mike will be busy as ever with his wrestling agenda. I will also have Amy's kiddo's starting on the 8th of January through the 12th. Busy times!
That is life.....just when you think things will slow up a little it all picks up ..... and that is probably good as who wants down time on their hands??
Anyway, Happiest of New Year's to all reading this. (are there any out there?)
Hopefully, 2013 will be a great year for all!
