Day Nine 2011

We always have big fun at Poet's On The Square right here in our town. Left to right: daughter Kelly, sister Jane, niece Julia, grand daughter Shelby, daughter Holly, and niece Sarah convened in the back room of Poet's for a couple of hours of sipping tasty treats--like frozen hot chocolate and mango orange smoothies (the best ever!)--while we generally misbehaved. We had the room to ourselves, so we didn't bother too many other coffee customers, and we left it the way we found it. Sort of. We did steal a few moments of fun. But don't tell anybody because this won't be the last time.

Day Eight 2011

Happiness is sharing a hot, gooey pizza for lunch on a cold winter Saturday with warm, lovable peeps!

Day Seven 2011

This was the 'snow day' that wasn't. Schools were closed here today in anticipation of snow, which never materialized. So the grandpeeps and I hung out together and vegged in front of the TV most of the day. Building a snowman would have been fun....if there had actually been some snow. Happy T*G*I*F!!

Day Six 2011

Can You Say 'Brain Freeze!' ?

It's like maybe 30 degrees outside, so of course hubby Neil, the grandpeeps Shelby and Elijah and I head on over to Cream City for some freezing cold but totally delish ice cream. I suspect this won't be the last time.

Day Five 2011

"January opens

The box of the year

And brings out days

That are bright and clear

And brings out days

That are cold and grey

And shouts, "Come see

What I brought today!" ~~ Leland B. Jacobs, January

What a difference a day makes! The big fat flakes flew for a while and then disappeared as quickly as they came. Beautiful! But good riddance!
