Friday, Friday!

Some of the pictures of Josh

that Ben and Linda sent recently

Isn't he cute?

I love seeing pictures of the grandkids!!

I am feeling better than I have been. Don't know what's been going on, but if I go back to sleep for a while, after waking up really early, then that helps. Would that we could all take naps!

Thank you for your comments on my last post! I enjoy them so much. The picture of the lady with the long hair is real, I believe, because I have other shots of her and of a few others with super-long hair. You can google 'longest hair' and see images of them. To me, super-long hair is fascinating. I'm a very visual person, I think, and I just love seeing images of fairies, animals, beautiful eyes, long hair, and so on. Don't be surprised if you get to see more pictures that don't have anything to do with my posts!

It's been fairly cold, but not bad outside. The snow is partly gone and green grass is still showing through. It's supposed to be clear weather for Christmas.

I want to go see Avatar at the theater, and since I get in free, we can go to a matinee pretty cheaply. :) It looks stunning, so I can just imagine how it would be in 3-D.

Whatever your plans for this weekend, I wish you joy in the season!

Middle of December and All is Well

(This is just a picture I found,

but isn't this lady's hair long?!)

Actually I haven't been feeling so hot, but I can't really complain. I don't have to go to work feeling sick or anything, or take care of a baby. Just Jasmine, at the moment. She is parked on my lap, but she's being good and not clawing her way up my shoulder as she usually does.

Just thought I'd let you know we're still here, and things are fine. Mark cleaned and decorated last Saturday. Wasn't that nice? He did a good job, too! I'll have to take pictures to record it for postererity.

Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season, and that you aren't too busy to enjoy it with your families. We went driving around Sunday night, looking at Christmas lights. We don't know the really good places to look here yet, but we saw some nice ones. We love the ones with mangers, and we love LED lights, with the beautiful blues and purples glowing in the snow. Some places had big globe lights that changed colors, and others had silvery, lighted deer that were magical. So fun! Our street has a few lights up, so we don't feel like the Scrooges of the neighborhood with our few. You can see the top of our tiny tabletop tree from the front, and it looks like a big tree. Heeheehee. Our big tree is in the family room, and it has all red lights this year (the others didn't work, so it's lucky the red ones did!). It's very beautiful at night. Take care, and thanks for reading! xoxoxo

Finally, Some Pictures!

Here are the various pictures we got at Thanksgiving

Not in any particular order...

And, finally, one of the many horses that live on all sides of our place

He's cuter than he looks in this picture

So, I hope you enjoyed these pictures!

The Quiet Life

I need Mark to download our camera (I can't reach where you plug it in) so I can post some pictures! But, I'll do another post anyway, even if it's un-illustrated. Just so you know... We're still doing great. Having fun around the farm. Tonight is our ward Christmas party, and it has a Polar Express theme. I'm so excited! You can even wear jammies if you want to! It's been so nice and sunny lately. Being inside, I don't feel the cold. Just the warm sun. And Mark put styrofoam in our old, drafty bedroom windows and it's so much snugger in here now. Our French doors must be double-paned, because they aren't drafty and we get lots of light and sun through them. Yay! Leto's sad because in this sunny, cold weather he wants to be outdoors, but he can't be loose all the time. So he's inside right now and very sad. I'll see if he'll stay in back for a bit, so he can feel special. :) That's really all the news, which is a wonderful thing. I used to yearn for a quiet life, and now I've pretty much got one. Yay for that, too! I'll take it, for as long as I can get it! xoxoxo
