A Winter Date
Several nights ago EJ woke me at about 4 a.m. “I have something to show you. Come look,” he whispered. We quietly sneaked into the living room. There were two deer just outside the window exploring the bird feeders. We tried to be quiet,… Continue Reading “A Winter Date”
Snow Fun
Here in the North, we’ve had snowstorms and lake effect snow. It’s been snowing constantly for days–meteorologists say that we’ve gotten 1-4 inches of snow per hour at times. I’m not sure exactly how many inches of snow we’ve gotten. In the unshoveled areas near the… Continue Reading “Snow Fun”
Snow Adventures
It’s been snowing off and on for three days. We have a lot of snow now and will be getting more: Another snowstorm is headed our way. Winter has finally arrived. JJ had quite a day yesterday. On his way to work, as I… Continue Reading “Snow Adventures”
A Very Snowy Day
It’s been an eventful few days. On Friday JJ restarted college. He had had to drop out during his first semester in 2013 when he was diagnosed with cancer. He said he really enjoyed his teacher and his class–even though he dislikes math–and that… Continue Reading “A Very Snowy Day”

Winter Storm
I am very thankful that the high winds caused us to lose our power on December 24-26 because it motivated us to buy a propane heater and a generator so that we are all set for Monday and Tuesday when the weather is supposed… Continue Reading “Winter Storm”
The Big Bad Wolf
At the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, a huge wind storm blew in. It buffeted our house, reminding me of the Big Bad Wolf who huffed and puffed to blow the house down. Our house didn’t blow down but sometime in the night… Continue Reading “The Big Bad Wolf”
Thanksgiving
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Two days too late, I know, but I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Well, those of you who live in the USA anyway. I hope those outside the USA had a wonderful week. This last week has been so busy… Continue Reading “Thanksgiving”
Plan A – B + C
This week has been interesting with its ups and downs and twists and turns. EJ went hunting last weekend and brought home two deer. When he got them home on Sunday night, he hung them up in the garage. JJ and I climbed up… Continue Reading “Plan A – B + C”
