She stands

This is a new one: a 7 month old standing up for a paperback! She is changing and getting strong and growing each day. We love her.

Winter is still here

Can it be? THAT many months since I've posted? Where has the winter gone? Well, actually -- you know what? Winter is STILL here! (See photos taken today). D and I are going to Arizona on Saturday and I'm ready. This snow is beautiful and fluffy and all white, but I wouldn't mind some warm sunshine. Hope all is well with you and where you are. - B

Thanksgiving

This past weekend was American Thanksgiving when we normally pig out on turkey and all the trimmings. This family has a decided "let's do it our way" streak that was evident this weekend. I had 2 requests to substitute something for the turkey. Another is a vegetarian. The left over adults will eat anything (me included). So, this Thanksgiving we had prime rib roast and many side dishes. Everyone said it was a good meal. The company of (all) our children and our granddaughter is what made the meal good, really.
I am thankful for my family and extended families.
