"Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal. But accumulate for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, your heart is also." Jesus
DH had a good check-up and has finally graduated to annual follow-ups! With better luck, this would have happened back in 2016, so it was a long time coming and we are very happy!
And yes, we are also delighted to have a new president!
An outstandingly fabulous pop-up Indian dinner for two made by our own Citrine (who I discovered lives down the road from us down towards Albuquerque) was thoroughly enjoyed by me and my guy! What a treat to look forward to!
That sounds nice! It brings a little normalcy back to your life.
I know there are those of us who really love year round sun and warmth and those of us who like where they live until it gets cold and then they are off to warmer climes.
Then there are those of us who love the change of seasons--even the snow and the cold and all the inconvenience that causes.
I am frankly surprised at how much I love winter up here. We had quite a bit of snow up here yesterday, made worse by the drifts caused by the lake winds. So we kept the "home fires burning." I went out just now to grab 3 more logs for the evening.
Maybe because I've been imprisoned this week doing interviews and powerpoint slides non-stop, I stepped outside and it was just so beautiful! In my pajamas and gardening gloves I walked around our wood shed and stepped out into such silence and solitude. The air was so crisp and light flurries of snow landed on my face. A beautiful moment.
Tomorrow I vow to take out my new snowshoes and get outside! Powerpoint be damned!

Catherine, that looks so beautiful and peaceful. Lovely!
Add in the sunshine sparkling on the fresh snow, winter is quite lovely. Glad that you are enjoying your winter there.
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
Though I live within city limits, I love getting out early on snowy mornings and hearing ... nothing, because the snow blankets the noise. Gotta have the seasons. And a three-foot frost line that kills spiders the size of softballs and snakes the lengths of cars.
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. - Booker T. Washington
Today I am happy because a relatively well known blogger, the Freckled Fox, has made it clear she’s getting a divorce. Her husband announced it today.
Instagram influencers are there in my mind to observe and snark on, but this girl has really had some hard stuff to deal with. She married very young, produced five children, and then her young husband died of cancer. Then she went off the rails and 84 days later married a loser. He shot her. He treated her children like crap.
It has taken her four years to wake up to his stupidity and kick him to the curb.
