Hey there! How’s everybody? I trust you all had a great Christmas and a happy beginning of the New Year.
We had a great Christmas. Both of our children were able to
be at home with us this year. Times like these are rare these days and I really
love them. I’m not going to bore you with Christmas pictures and such, but I do
want to show you a few pictures taken on our day after Christmas. If you love
the outdoors, like we do, then you take a walk in the woods. And then there’s
this one of Cliff cooking our Christmas steaks outside over an open fire. Since
we went traditional at Thanksgiving, we decided to part from the norm at
Christmas. Yes, we had steaks and all the fixins to go with them. Delish!
Our walk in the woods was so fun and beautiful and peaceful.
We may even make it a tradition. I mean, when you have a child as active as
Whitney and a husband who would love to just live in the woods or swamps, then
you conform. It wasn’t hard at all. I love it, too. Not the swamps…just the
woods. Especially, when there are no snakes out.
And then after the New Year, specifically this past weekend,
there was the promise of snow. Accumulation was expected to be about 3”. For
the south, that’s nearly paralyzing. Well, that didn’t happen. We had a trace…I
don’t even know if it was enough to measure. But to this snow loving woman, it
was beautiful. I stared and gazed and was mesmerized for the two whole hours
that it snowed. Ha!
This week, I’m working on my goals for 2017. They include
health, organizing, new plantings, crafting, and such. I’ll probably share.
Stay tuned.
Hoping you all have a great New Year!
Laurie
