ps: HAPPY WINTER
It came: THE FIRST SNOW
of the season!
It stuck to the back screen.
It came with 40 + mile
an hour winds that caused
drifting.
The wind blew snow
everywhere!
It covered Mr. Ken's car.
So he took mine because
I had a SNOW DAY!
Look who came out later...
Mr. Sun!
Love those snow days! I
was actually able to get
some stuff caught up on
and work on some
Christmas stuff. Yea!
For those of you living
EAST---hold on to your
hats, she is coming your
WAY!!!

For today's selection:
Secret Santa gifts
I am participating in
a Secret Santa exchange
at work. Each day we
can give a small gift or
wait till Friday and give
one "big" gift. I try to give
something each day.
Today was Christmas candy
and tomorrow will be the
the item in the picture
above--in fornt of the clock.
For the gal that I drew,
I spelled her name with
Scrabble tiles and glued
them to the tile holder.
(I buy old games at garage
sales and "part" them out)
these would make great
last minute gifts if you
have all the parts.
Back in January, it seemed
like everyone was choosing
a "word" for the year. I
chose on also--mine was
"BELIEVE." We must continue
to do this.
Please continue to send your
thoughts and prayers to those
dealing with this tragedy. Let's
say an extra prayer for our
nation too.
