We have been quite busy






Well, I have to share a cute Conner quote. He and I were watching a beautiful ballet with lovely dancers in fairy dresses. The fellow was wearing a red kilt and doing fabulous leaps and dancing all around. The ballet is Les Sylphides, for those who are acqainted with this. Conner mentioned how he liked the dancing so much and wanted to put on a dress when he is a girl so he can dance too. In an effort to help him understand that the man wearing a "dress" was actually a man with akilt on, he said, "I don't want to wear a kilt. When I have my birthday, I'm going to be a girl and dance." Heather, you mentioned that you were going to be a man when you grew up (you were probably about three at the time), so this is perfect for your son to follow your lead on this.
Now, for the rest of the pictures, Orion was adorable in the swing, so I had to show you all this picture. We have a big new truck in our garage! Yes, Bill finally has his manly truck. We miss the Durango and all the great memories with that car. But, we need this truck so we can haul the big fifth wheel trailer that we have coming soon. How about that for turning 55 this year and enjoying the new status of nearly Senior Citizen.
I finished my tenth quilt, so I thought I would share that with you and we bought a lovely flower arrangement (I have added to it to fill it out) to put on the piano.
Today, it was gorgeous weather, so we were outside doing pruning, fertilizing, weed killing, and other projects before the rain returns.
I don't know how to "wrap" the print around pictures like you all, so this is the best I can do until Heather shows me more options.
Love to you all,
Mom

I'm trying to blog by myself. Hmmmmmmmmmm



So, I don't think there is anything quite as beautiful as this home on a snowy day. January winter is always so gorgeous in so many ways. We have had warm sunshine, huge rainstorms, gentle snowfalls and silent winter evenings. Sitting in the hot tub under a full moon on a crispy cold night is amazing. What a gift this home is to us.
