Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow??

I know you all think I am nuts but I thought this snow was actually kind of cool. 

Let me tell you why...

I Love a snowstorm in May because I know that it is going to melt...really soon!!  

I Love the big huge wet flakes of snow that look like snowballs falling!!

I Love the way that it looks like the tree is trying to protect the grass from getting snow on it!!

I Love when it is cold out that my husband makes a roaring fire in the fireplace!!

Don't be mad at the snow it is just rain with a little pizzazz!!

Love and Hate

These are two very powerful words but here is my perspective on my Love and Hate of weekends.

First, the obvious, I Love that I have a day off of work!  But for me this is usually just another day of work but only it is at home.  Am I the only one that punishes myself this way?  Why do I insist on leaving all the household chores for the weekend?  My loving sister is always telling me that I should spread these chores out during the week so that I have my weekends free to do what I want, but do I listen to her, NO! 

Second, I love not waking up to the alarm clock and I can sleep in!  But, am I really sleeping in when I get up at 6 a.m.?  For me I don’t think this is so bad, who wants to sleep away the best part of the day when I can get up early and start my household chores, well on second thought, this is kind of going back to the my first love and hate. 

To sum up this story I really do not have any hate for the weekend at all!  I just started it that way to get you to read this story.  Okay, enough playing, I’ve got work to do.

So Wrong!!!

I know this was wrong on so many levels but you know what, it sure did taste good. 

Chris decided that he wanted to have some chicken wings so we did some research on the internet and this was the recipe we found, "Sweet and Spicy Wings."  Of course since there was a little bit of kick we had to have a side dish of a great Old Fashion.  I guess some of you will be seeing me in the gym some extra hours after this meal. 

Yikes!!

Forgotten Closet Treasures

I have been doing some cleaning and came across a few boxes of what I like to call "Closet Treasures."

There were 4 boxes of stories and art projects from Megan's school days.  It seems like it was yesterday that  she was getting off the school bus and running down the driveway with a new art project to show me and her Dad.  I thought I would share this one that I thought was a real treasure.

If your eyes are going bad, like mine, here is the story in a close up so you can read better. 

Megan is only 21 now so it's not that this was a real long time ago, but it still feels good to read her stories of what she was thinking back then.  

If you are a Mom or Dad with little kids, please make sure you save these treasures so you to look back at them some day.  These treasures and memories will last forever.

 Love ya Meg

XXOO

Sunday Morning

I love an early Sunday morning and the sun is shining and the clothesline full of towels and sheets.  

I can't help but thinking about going to bed tonight in those fresh smelling sheets.
