Christmas Eve

Amidst sporadic power outages and icy snowdrifts we managed to pull off our annual Christmas Eve dinner.  Never mind the transfer of the ham from the oven to the outdoor grill then back to the oven.  Never mind the lukewarm temperatures of certain dishes.  Never mind the half baked potatoes.  The important thing was that our bellies were […]

Winter storm

We are in the grips of a ferocious winter storm, the worst storm in 40 years.  We are trapped on our hill.  This shows no sign of stopping until next weekend.  Should make for an interesting Christmas dinner if we lose power(so far we have been lucky!).  Ham over an open fire?  We have a […]

Follow the leader

The Christmas tree

Last night we drove over to mom & dad’s to visit.  We sat around sipping coffee and telling old stories.  As I was listening to Levi tell one of his childhood memories it occurred to me that I should write them down so they are never forgotten.  Voila!  The “memory lane” category was born.   […]

Thought provoking fun

I say that only because my thoughts have been provoked by gifted photographer, Jasmine Star.  Provoked into straying from their intended tasks. I distractedly went about my work while my mind turned the events from my day into 6 word short stories.   Baby eats cereal; mess is made. Levi saws wood, windows are trimmed. Boys […]
