perfect christmas
I have a lot of Christmas photographs, wrapped carefully in paper envelopes, high on a shelf in a box in my closet. It’s pre-digital Christmas, numerous shots of Griffin, and my siblings surrounded by piles of paper wrapped gifts, sporting huge smiles. I don’t pull them out much to look at physically because the images […]
ornamental memories
My friend Missy, the Marketing Mama has gathered some blogging friend together to talk and reminisce about Christmas ornaments that they love, and the reasons why they’re so important to them. I knew I had to participate in this fun blog carnival because I’ve often considered the fact that should I ever have a fire […]
little things
For some reason, I’ve been thinking a lot about the little things in life, you know, those tiny aspects of your day that maybe you don’t always think about, but doing them makes you happy and feel better, and not doing them kind of stinks. Such as….. ~~ always having something in the car for […]

Just in time for Thanksgiving, we should see a pretty decent snowfall, and plunging temperatures. It’s predicted to be the coldest Thanksgiving in years. I still plan to do my turkey on the grill like I do every year. No words, or a recipe today. It’s Monday, and I’m feeling a bit ‘blah’.
embracing the inevitable

How can you grumble about something so beautiful? Walking through the woods after a thick snowfall is to know peace and solitude and Nature at […]
friday fun
Well I did it now. I mentioned winter. And snow. And apparently tomorrow Minnesota will get it’s first significant snowfall. But will we see something like this? Or will it be more like this? It sounds like it will be wet, and in our area North of the Twin Cities we might not see much […]
remembering
It’s Veteran’s Day, which is set aside as a day of remembering those who served our country. And then there’s Memorial Day, as a day to remember those who died serving our country. But where’s the day, the national holiday that honors our loved ones and the normal folks who didn’t lay down their lives […]
appreciation
It doesn’t take much to change your perspective, the view from our eyes. A moment, a turn of the head, a glance in the other direction, a good night’s sleep, a loved one’s calming words. We rarely see our life’s moments in the same light as others, and it helps for us to step outside […]
