Collage of photos by Droid and Retro Camera App On Tuesday we bundled up and tromped out into the enchanted forest in search of the annual Christmas tree.
The Christmas tree hunt
Hazel wearing her hat from Ninni of Finland. The world was white and the sun was shining. We drove the ATV through the sparkling snow to my mom & dad’s house. Hazel was sandwiched between her daddy & I and was jostled right to sleep. A perfect moment, a perfect day.
This is a collage of my feeble attempt at photos. Most taken with the Droid. Despite all of my grand plans I ended up with a fever during the Thanksgiving feast. I managed to set half the table and make 2 crocks of potatoes before I ended up on the couch, covered in blankets (I finally […]
Nothing cozies up Windy Ridge more than the lampposts Levi put up. Especially in the snow. If I would have known what a difference they made I would have had them installed a long time ago. With a flick of a switch the house is draped in a romantic glow.

We snuck away to the coast last weekend, just the captain & I. I’m trying to wean baby Hazel (and so far I am slightly unsuccessful). We stayed at the beautiful Ocean Lodge in Cannon Beach, how homey to wake up to a fire crackling in the big stone fireplace. Things you must try in Cannon […]
After a fun day of junking Christy single-handedly whipped up a delicious gourmet dinner for all 23 of us. Stuffed chicken breast & mushrooms, baby reds, salad, bread, homemade and fresh everything. It was like magic. I would have been sweating and burning everything in sight. I’m so impressed.
