The Dark Side of Sunny Days
This week we’ve had blue skies, ranging from cloudless to mostly, partly, or somewhat, blue skies. It varied. The point is that we actually could see blue instead of gray skies. We’ve had some cloudy gray skies, but not as much as usual. It… Continue Reading “The Dark Side of Sunny Days”
Snow Fall
Today the sun has been peeking through the cloudy gray sky. My eyes are unused to sunshine–Michigan gets a lot of cloud cover because of the Great Lakes–so I lowered the window blinds halfway. I hated to do it, but the sunlight was blinding.… Continue Reading “Snow Fall”
Winter Challenge
Last week was a bit of a winter challenge. There are some winter challenges that people participate in for fun. Like Polar Bear Challenges, in which people, wearing only standard swimsuits, plunge or swim in a body of water in the middle of winter.… Continue Reading “Winter Challenge”
As The Snow Falls
I thought I’d update you on the continuing saga of “As The Snow Falls.” Just in case we lose power, you understand. I set my alarm so I could get up in the wee hours of the morning to make sure EJ made it… Continue Reading “As The Snow Falls”

Snow Cam
I tracked JJ’s ship on January 12th as it moved up the river to Lake Huron, concerned that they were going to travel tthrough the storm’s strong winds and high waves. However, they anchored soon after they reached Lake Huron. Whew. They continued on… Continue Reading “Snow Cam”
Winter’s Beauty
Last week Texas was hit with very unusual weather cold and snowy weather. Many lost their power, which means they had no heat. Because they live in a (usually) warmer climate, people in the south don’t own warm clothes or have alternate sources of… Continue Reading “Winter’s Beauty”
Firsts
This morning I studied Hebrew with my friend again on Google+. We are probably two of the slowest Hebrew students ever, but we love it so much and want to learn it so much that I think God should just give us an “A”… Continue Reading “Firsts”
Digging Out
This morning I was mean to my husband. Well, not really. I put on my coat, hats, boots, and mittens intending to go out and shovel the snow 12+ inches of snow. EJ said, “I don’t want you to shovel the snow. I will… Continue Reading “Digging Out”
Common Things
JJ’s rescheduled Chemo appointment was for this morning at 10:30 a.m. Just before 9 a..m., EJ went out to start the truck to warm it up. It cried in protest at starting on such a cold morning: the temperature was -16F degrees, and I… Continue Reading “Common Things”
