We wish you a Merry Christmas--thanks to blogger!

Eek! I am late by 3 3/4 hours and yet....through the magical technology here at blogger I am right on time to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Now isn't that cool? I can be good & totally organized even when I'm not:)

And to add to the snow photos----

A new view--------------Snowy table and chairs--------Snow hats on apples

I measured the snow on the table--before we got more--and it was somewhere between 13-14 inches. We do have some storm damage though--the gazebo collapsed, some trees lost boughs and some other plants (camellias, arborvitaes especially) suffered damage.

However, on the positive side---I am really enjoying my new, improved view of the mountains, am getting regular exercise each day outside and my (I mean my hubby's camera) is getting a real work out!

Blessings, b

I'll later post Baby C's newest photo. We were unable to see her due to snow and such but we have a very good DIL who knows how to use a cell phone:)

Update on the rest of the family! (Last update 12/21)

Since everyone in the family knows how much I love snow, they know I am quite happy over our scenery lately! But here is an update on the rest of tha family:

• My wonderful, long suffering hubby is only 3 days away from his 2 week long vacation. Update: hubby is on vacation--yea!!
• My DIL recently heard from her hubby. Please continue in prayers for him. She is doing fine although she is blaming me for this snow (imagine that?? LOL) Update: still snowing here! Unfortunately ice too. But the ice is beautiful on the trees. I am so glad we always leave fruit on the trees. I've noticed a bird enjoying it today:)
• My oldest son is doing fine; we will -- hopefully--be getting together with him and his fiancee around Christmas for dinner. Update: Christmas may be postponed till after Christmas; depends on the weather. So maybe while everyone is in the stores after the 25th we'll be eating out!
• I am going through BF withdrawal as my friend of 21 years is out of state. Good time for my hubby to have vacation!! Update: She may be even longer getting home. Since she is in nice weather that may not be too bad.
• Baby C is growing and has produced her first big chuckle in response to her big sister!! Needless to say, big sister thought that was pretty neat! Update: Baby C is rolling over now. So cute:) Kind DIL is sending us video updates --- fun!!
• Nothing to report from my daughter's way; she has been super busy with work for the last several months though. Update: Now she is getting our weather---looks like we are in winter now!

Blessings, b
