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”
A Walk Through the Woods On a Snowy Afternoon
I do not think we got as much snow last night as the meteorologists predicted, although we did get a lot of snow. The meteorologists said that the snow would stop and then we’d get lake effect snow for the next few days. I… Continue Reading “A Walk Through the Woods On a Snowy Afternoon”
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”
The Things That Bring Me Joy
Maybe because our calendars clicked over into a new year, I’ve been thinking of a lot about our lives now and then. Of course, I’ve been thinking about now and then ever since we moved to our new home, so maybe it doesn’t have… Continue Reading “The Things That Bring Me Joy”
The End of 2015
We survived the big storm that hit earlier in the week. The lights flicked a couple of times but we didn’t lose power. Yay! A snowplow tore our mailbox off the post and flung it into the snow so yesterday morning EJ put his… Continue Reading “The End of 2015”
Fairy Tales
Many good things happened this week that I have wanted to share, but I have been busy and haven’t taken the time. I have been spending most of my time crocheting items to sell at Teric’s Treasures, my Etsy store. I am super proud of… Continue Reading “Fairy Tales”
The First Night
I have desperately needed to get a hair cut but I have dreaded trying to find new hair stylists here in the north. I really miss Bob and Linda, a husband and wife who have cut our hair since JJ was very young. They have… Continue Reading “The First Night”
Teric’s Treasures
After all the busyness of the last few days, I finally was able to work on my Etsy store today in between the normal interruptions–making turkey pot pie, washing dishes, taking Danny outside, finding lost items, and so on. I didn’t get around to… Continue Reading “Teric’s Treasures”
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”
Daddy’s Gone A-Hunting
It’s looking very November. One afternoon last week EJ, Danny, and I walked through one of our little meadows and into the forest on our way back from the mailbox. In the meadow we saw an area of flattened grass where EJ said the… Continue Reading “Daddy’s Gone A-Hunting”
Our Life So Far
We have done a lot of thinking and discussing and planning and doing since last week when we realized that with the extra expenses, we are going to run out of money sooner than later and we will need a bit more income. We… Continue Reading “Our Life So Far”
More Than I Imagine
Life seems to be one nail-biting cliffhanger after another. This is another chapter to our continuing saga. Those of you who have been reading our family’s story we recall that last Winter I looked at EJ and saw that his company was destroying his… Continue Reading “More Than I Imagine”
November
Last week we had a lot of blustery rainy days which blew most of the leaves off the trees. There are just a few determined leaves hanging on. It is looking very November-ish now with bare trees and gray skies. Even though it’s not… Continue Reading “November”
Bare Trees
I woke up this morning with a lot of congestion and a deep cough. My neck also felt itchy–and I realized that I had been scratching it in my sleep. I looked in the mirror and saw that I have a rash that looks… Continue Reading “Bare Trees”
