Anywhere....

I am so done with WINTER and FRIGID temperatures. I am hungry for some much needed SUNSHINE and WARMTH. It must be time for a little getaway somewhere. Any ideas out there? I'm all ears.

Read... Watch... Read....

I have wanted to watch this show since seeing "Leap Year" Yep, I think he is cute!
Not a bad movie... when did Zac get all those muscles!
I started this book long ago... finally finished it this year.
I was exited to see the newest Narnia movie... then realized I had not seen this one.
My favorite of the three... but I like them all!
Interesting read... wish I had a Matthew to give me some money tips.
Great movie in my mind... if you don't mind all the violence.
Kind of cute... but very slow moving.
Not my favorite movie.. I definitely do not agree with one of the years top 10 - sorry.

The day after Christmas... Leah's birthday!

She turned 6! While we were eating cake Leah said "now how about you raise your hands and I will call on you and you can ask me questions." She was so serious - she wanted us to ask her questions about herself, like favorite color, favorite thing at school, favorite anything. And we seriously asked 40 questions and I really think she wanted more.

We found out later this is what they do at her school when someone has a birthday... and since her birthday is during the Christmas vacation I guess she wanted her turn anyway she could get it. Funny kid. Here are some great pics Amy took. Thanks for letting me steal your post Am.

Loved it



We went to see this show yesterday in place of our sisters lunch. I Loved it! Seriously a cute show - it reminded me somewhat of Monsters Inc. None of us had seen it but a couple had bought it for their kids for Christmas. Pretty good choice.

Truly Thankful


Besides all the usual stuff I am always THANKFUL for... family, friends, a great job, a car that continues to start, good health, a place to live, etc. This year I can add a few new things to the list...

A brother who lives close enough for frequent bathroom visits when the pipes freeze- buckets to fill the drain water when the washer drain is also frozen- a clean kitchen floor thanks to all the water- space heaters for every room- a heavy coat and a few inches of snow to cushion a tumble down the driveway-no broken bones or bruises-a brother who still comes to snow blow even when he has another house to worry about.

This past week has truly been a blessing in many ways. How especially thankful I am to live now and not to have been a pioneer woman.

Sisters lunch is back!

We are finally back to having our monthly sisters lunch - we still wish Denise were closer to join us but it is nice to spend time together with whomever can come. Today we celebrated Mimi's 49th Happy Birthday at the new Brick Oven in Layton. Y-U-M -M-Y! I felt like I might hurl before I got home I had eaten so much, but it was oh so good!

I feel like I must give Shane's Auto a little plug! You know how you feel sometimes when something really good happens and you smile and shout, but what you really want to do is cry because your so happy? That is exactly how I felt driving home today in my newly repaired car. I have been listening to a terrible noise in my car for more than a year now, but the repair people I took it to say they could never hear it, thus could never fix it.

I finally took it to Shane's, he came for a ride with me, heard it and had it fixed within 4 hours. I will never take my car back to the other repair place... Shane's has my business for life. If you need an honest repair man who will take the time to repair your car right, give Shane a try. His shop is located just north of Arctic Circle on Orchard Drive.

3 words 4 U... I Love You!

Don't ask me why this clip doesn't fit in the column like it should... but whether it does or not... it doesn't change how much I love this song!

Sometimes that's all that needs to be said - I love you! And I do.

from a distance...

I heard this song for the first time today. The artists name is Taylor Swift. I love the words much more than the video. It would seem for me that love will always be... from a distance.

My kinda day... "if only"
