Azodnem: Happy Feliz Birthday! *does a little dance*

Lynne: Happy [late] Birthday

shawno: OMG!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Love ya babe!

Holly: Jan. 12, 2010, 3:54pm: Thanks, Lynne, I'm glad you enjoyed them.

It's such a blessing for us to be able to experience nature this way, and I for one think such blessings ought to be shared.

Lynne: Wow Holly both sets of pictures are beautiful, particularly the mountains, I love the mountains, never seen them in person I sure hope to some day.

Sheryl: Dear Holly, I've been thinking about you the past few days and ended up here tonight. May I can offer energy work to ease your pain? I invite you to email me if interested. Wishing you/Roger a blessed 2010. :-)

robin: Hey, I hope you can forgive my dropping by but I am trying to spread the word about my charity fundraising site the10grandcharitychallenge. it does exactly what it says on the tin, and i would love for as many peeps to drop by as possible. thanks for your time :) Rx

DoyleSoft (Knowledge Base Software): Great blog!

Holly: Lynne, the difference is that you plant the seeds (seeds), and then, with lots of work, the plant is born. (plants)

I'll probably change it out at some point, though. I guess it *is* kinda weird.

Lynne: What is the difference between berry seeds and berry plants???

Lynne: MERRY CHRISTMAS HOLLY & ROGER

Grizz: Stopping by to say a hello and welcome yu to the new RecRoom page...Hope you have a great day my friend...

Lynne: Well Holly all I can say is better you then me, although we are a 4 degrees today, with -12 windchills, I remember one year I waled to work it was -70 with the windchill of course i was in my 20's then and could handle the cold.

Blake: Its sad to hear that Anthony passed away just a few days a go.... Look back to the memories, Anthony finished his task, it was his time, home was calling him, just as angels, God places them to do a task and when they complete it, God calls them home... I just stopped by to crongrats on WININNG journal of the week!!!

Lynne: I don't think that this one was your fault, it came from the Rockies...

Holly: Dec. 10/09, 8:57pm:

Yeah, I guess we do - considering it's our fault you guys got this stuff....

Lynne: Look at that, you look just like us.

Holly: Dec 9/09, 6:35pm: Yeah, you're probably right, Lynne. Oh, well. **shrug**.... 14 inches of snow?

Holy crap! Well, stay safe and try to stay warm too, okay? And remember: even if all you can watch is videos, it's better than nothing at all.

Lynne: Will power or the lack there of is the general cause of not keeping up on the diets, buy a used tread mill and start off slow, it helps I have one...if only I could use it, my front bedroom is full of extra furniture....We got 14 inches of snow, the whole state in under a snow emergency, wonderful, my HD Receivers aren't working and the standard receivers only get the local channels looks like it videos for me today...

Holly: Dec. 8/09: Awww Lynne, you're just too sweet...

Lynne: 5 years ago I was 5 years younger, I never found you to be any of those things Holly.

Holly: Dec 6/09: LYNNE, I want to see videos of Cooper in the snow.

And you... I want you to be safe. You hear me?

DAR: Yeah, I think it is.

But, considering how long it took to get here, I suppose I can't really complain too much. I'll definitely be digging out the ol' snowshoes, though!

Glad you liked the lights - more of those pics will be coming, once we're dug out and I can get around the city again.

Dar: Looks like your snow is here to stay too. Enjoy your winter. Strap on the snowshoes and take a brisk walk...enjoyed your Christmas lights tour...Blessings Be Yours

Lynne: Ha, lucky you all that snow...we're getting 1-3 inches tomorrow night into Monday then the 6-9 wed into Thurs. Poor Cooper he's gonna drown in all that snow coming

Holly: Yeah, well just wait until you see what I put up today (Saturday, Dec.5), Lynne...

I'm used to it, but even *I* am kinda shocked...

Lynne: Yup 6-9 inches of snow Wed into Thurs. OMG, have I mentioned how much I HATE winter?

Holly:

Lynne! Yeah, that's true, but it ain't my fault that we like to share. Just be prepared - things are about to come your way from what I understand...

Lynne: Well you live in Canada what do you expect, just keep your snow storms there by you,

Birthday Gratitude

It's amazing when people you love make you feel like you matter to them. But when those people come together to help you celebrate the day you came to this earth, in the way my friends and family helped me, there are no words to convey how that feels. Thanks to all my friends and family who made my birthday the best birthday ever...

Of Magick and Gatherings

I have awakened to a world covered in mystical fog and thick blankets and bands of hoar frost on everything in sight. It is stunningly beautiful - even moreso than yesterday, which looked like this:

I love Mother Nature's artwork. She never creates this kind of magick the same way twice...

Yesterday's birthday gathering was beyond awesome. Everyone who was invited came over - including my sister Charity, her husband Greg, and two of my three nieces, Tasha and Kennedy. Joslyn couldn't make it because she had to work. The only person who didn't come was my aunt, who couldn't make it because she had her grandson over, and he'd have been bored out of his mind because the other kids weren't here for him to play with. No kid likes to play by themselves...

Today is Superbowl Sunday, but it's also Greg's birthday. And all he wants for his birthday, he said, is to watch the game with friends and family and just relax and have fun. So, that's what we're doing today. Of course, my sister has gone all-out - again: she spent most of yesterday cooking, and this morning, she's finishing up what she didn't get done yesterday. One thing I have to say about my sister is that when she throws a party, she doesn't go one extra mile, she goes a hundred extra miles.

Last night, I did something I've never done before. I took some pictures, and then I put the camera on the table and invited everyone to go ahead and take pictures, too. I enjoy seeing other people's perspectives through the pictures they take, and I wanted everyone to have fun with it. I showed them how the camera works, and then I let them have at it. Charity, Karis, Kennedy, and Tasha all took me up on the offer, and I have some pretty cool pics now. One of them - Charity thinks it was Karis - caught something that blew me away; I've posted it at the WPI blog.

Anyway, I have to get dressed and go to the store. Then, we'll be getting ready to head over to Greg and Charity's house to help him celebrate his birthday. I hope everyone has an awesome day today.
