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
Good heavens, that is alot of snow! Looks alot like what we had here a while ago. You made the best of it for sure...and I am so excited...you are just so happy. That makes me smile. I love the pics, thanks for posting them. Hugs good friend. :)
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!
