What a day. I've been a domestic goddess. What? You're not supposed to call yourself a goddess? OK. It's been a domestic day. I made breakfast for the gang. I made a Texas Sheetcake. I have a double recipe of pot roast in the oven and I've invited a bunch of neighbors over for dinner. The kitchen is clean and I'm finally relaxing. Emily and Phil spent a bunch of time outside. So did Rob. Not me. Not yet. Not today.
Rob shoveled the deck and left this pile to make a snowman. It's gotten taller as the day's gone by.
View from the deck.
Inside looking out.
It takes a real man to wear pink.
Don't they look like an ad for Abercrombie?
Working hard but having fun.
House and cul-de-sac.
What I'm looking at as I blog.
Happy Me!

Amazed at the amount of snow you have gotten! Looks beautiful though!
Cheryl, it's my fault your banner is gone. I was cleaning up my FTP location and I accidentally deleted the folder with your blog images. I have hosted those images all these years. Amazing, huh? Send me a new image and I will get it fixed ASAP

Hey Girl... Happy Hannukah and Merry Christmas to you and your family. These are wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing. May you be blessed in the new year!
I have the perfect job for me. I choose to be a happy person. I have a 23
year old daughter, a mostly local family and some great friends. I live in a sun-filled home that I love. I love to learn. I'm easy to please. I'm not always what I seem.

Soak it up my friend! You put a smile on my face
Oh, guys! I miss you so much. We would have come down for pot roast!! Okay, have to go - going to cry....
Wow - nice snow - I'm jealous. I love being snowed in. But out here it typically means losing power - Have fun you guys!
