Monday Morning


Apparently it is quite cold outside. I am not looking forward to going out there.
The cold makes Monday mornings that much harder.
I would much rather be curled up in bed for the day - all warm & cozy !!

Rock, Meet Hard Place.


This is where I am - stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Migraine day number 3 today.
Do I medicate & feel loopy? Or tough it out?
Toughing it out failed miserably yesterday, so medicate it is.

Wishing & Hoping


Here's hoping ... that the weekend is filled with fun & adventure !!
And wishing my Mom & Laurie a nice get-away from the cold & snow, and a wonderful, warm & sunny trip to Jamaica !!

Fancy Mother Nature


Dan & I saw this on our hike on Christmas Eve.
We both admired just how fancy Mother Nature can be.

Just Like Old Times


Friday night was wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. There really is no other way to describe it.

I had dinner & an awesome visit with some people I have known for my entire life, and who are like extended family to me. In addition to my Mom (in the centre above) and my brother, there were two couples who have been friends of my parents forever. As well, one couples children were there as well - kids who I love like siblings !!
It was a long time coming - that's for sure - but it was just like old times.
And I know my Dad was there in spirit, loving every minute of it.

Mom's Here !!

I know I missed yesterday, but I am a little pre-occupied because my Mom is here visiting for a few days, and I am spending as much time as I can with her and my friends & family.


Above my Mom & aunt Deb, and below my Mom & Luanne - we had a wonderful evening at the Poacher, with Dan in the mix as well !!

Santa's Helper


My car had lots of holiday spirit this past holiday, it even dressed up as Rudolph !! Thanks to Laurie's sweet find during my trip to Dartmouth in early December, I had people laughing & smiling & cheering all throughout the holiday season !!

Repeat?


I may have posted this photo before. I was too lazy to check. Terrible, I know.
I have a jam-packed day - having already worked-out, showered, and am having breakfast.
Then to the doctor, work, and the airport to pick up my brother.
Home to fall down after that, I'm sure.

Calendar


Today I am going shopping for a wall calendar. I am picky, so this won't be easy.
Wish me luck. And wish Dan lots of patience ; )

Happy New Year !!

Rolling On


These wheels have clearly stopped rolling. The are resting peacefully beside a barn, in a beautiful bed of fall leaves. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is rolling on, moving forward, constantly. I feel a little like these wheels lately, kind of stuck, but also happy to be resting. Tomorrow brings a New Year, and hopefully it will bring all the best for all of you !!

Running out the door


I am running late this morning.
I didn't post yesterday, so I wanted to make sure I posted today !!
Happy Thursday : ) Oh, and I love this photo !!

Here's hoping


I could have stayed in bed all day today. Unfortunately, my head is hurting - on the verge of turning into a migraine. I hope it doesn't, as I would really like to tackle my hit list of tasks and odd-jobs today. Here's hoping.

Power Through


Today I am determined to get lots done, and have some fun along the way too !!
So far ... So good.

O Christmas Tree


The Christmas Tree at my Gramma & Grampa's has been exactly the same my entire life. Same tree. Same lights. Same garland. Same decorations.
The only change is that it gets two new decorations each year, as it is tradition that we each get a new ornament at the dinner table each year.
I love this tree, and all the memories it holds.

Finally Fiddling


I have finally started to play with and fiddle around in Photoshop.
This is exciting ... and I find I can make my photos look even more amazing !!
