I took a week of from posting, mainly because we have been bombarded with snow fall and record breaking low temps (not really, I just got busy). I know I sound like I am whining to all those in states hit harder…but hey- its all relative (as far as whether goes). We have to dig ourselves out every morning, and there is no where for the snow to go once we do. Hopefully, it will melt a little to make room for the new snow-calling on a little cooperation from the sun. Look at last night’s snow fall, it can be measured if you look at the picnic table on the deck…Monday, January 19, 2009
Bogged Down By the Snow

These cars are parked on the lake for the snowmobile races. Still gets me nervous-parking on the ice…

Happy New Year!!
As the end of the holiday comes to a close…We find ourselves busy wrapping up all the home projects we started (about 8 years ago…) like finishing up the molding in the kitchen and the dining room.
I came down with a lousy cold or flu…whatever… I can never tell what I have…I used to call everything a cold, but I guess many of the symptoms of flu often get lumped into the cold category. I had some time to paint this past week-I will post it when I finish it…still playing with the idea. I made it a point to relax this vacation. I looked through some really inspiring art magazines and read some great articles about photography, digital scrapbooking, and Photoshop techniques. I treated myself to a couple good books on one of our bookstore runs also. Probably won’t get to those until we go camping in the spring.
I am looking forward to getting back to work. In my neck of the woods, the adoption business has been a little slow last year. We had two babies born in these past two weeks, and two very happy new families celebrated. I hope for all the other couples waiting to be parents that this is a taste of what the New Year will bring. Not much more to say this week, but thought I would post a scrapbook page I was playing with.
I really need a good couple of photography days so I can restock my scrapbook photos. I am planning on starting a book, a digital memoir of my father very soon…at this point I am still in the “mulling it over” stage.
Until next time…Mary
