White Christmas

-
My children have been wanting snow for about a month now. All they talk about is having a white Christmas. We had our first snow storm yesterday and got about 6 inches of snow. There is another major storm coming through tonight and tomorrow.

I could of gotten a prettier view but that would of meant that I had to go outside.

This was how I found Stephen; laying face down in the snow. I guess he's happy. :-)

Of course, we're supposed to get a nor'easter tonight and tomorrow which will mess up my children's Christmas program at church. I'm going to have to come up with Plan B.

At least the kids got their wish!

    Hi Terri,
    We are getting a Noreaster as they say Sunday. The town is all a buzz getting plows on, shovels ready, and extra food. We are supposed to get 12-16 inches. We'll see. :) My boys want the snow for snomobiling, but hubby would like it to hold off till he gets the roof on the house he is building. The snow looks so pretty in your pictures. Stephen seems to be enjoying it too!
    Love Kerri

    well, it's about time!! you finally got some snow while the rest of us have been trudging through it for over a week now. At least here in the Northwest!
    It's funny reading blogs lately, it's all about the snow and the fun of being in it!
    Hope your Christmas preparations will go smoothly for you.

    It appears the children got their wish and will be enjoying for some time if you get that Northeaster. Maybe that will be the answer to your prayers to Terri. You will just have to stay home and relax...now wouldn't that be nice? Forget Plan B!

    Love,
    Mom

    It is absolutely beautiful, Terri. It has been in the 60s and 70s here this week! I know it messes up the program, but enjoy the snow. :-)

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
