WINTER ROSES on the last day of 2008

I went out into my green house yesterday and cut fresh roses from my rose pots. Wow!!! What a special moment, to be able to have fresh cut roses in the winter, the last day of 2008. They are now in my office for me to look at until they are gone. AWESOME!!!!!! The winter blues are temporarily gone for the moment. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Better Days in 2009

We had a great Christmas with family and drop in friends and neighbors. Fun games, good food, and busy grandchildren....AND LOTS AND LOTS OF SNOW!!!! Thank you for a roof over my head and a warm bed. What will this new year bring? PLEASE SIGN IN AND MAKE YOUR PREDICTIONS and than I will add my two cents.

Here's our Birthday Boy! On Nov. 30th Skyler was an Official Teenager! 13-years-old!!!!!!!!!!!WOW !!!

You know I think he gets better looking as the days go on, not that he wasn't always cute, BUT now I can see longer eye lashes, thicker eyebrows, and ALWAYS that natural curly hair!!! WATCH OUT GIRLS!!!!

We had a delicious dinner and for a finalie we had Skyler's special request-Skookie with ice cream on top...like they serve at Fire House Pizza in the skillets.

It was soooooo GOOD! and rich.....I really had to monitor myself....

It dissappeared in a matter of minutes and the smaller skillets for the other kids went way fast also. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKYLER....WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

So.....now we have two teenagers in our family. WATCH OUT IAN...YOU'RE NEXT, DEAR HEART.
