Happy New Year !

Happy New Year !! ..........that is Mr. Menace........he is always helping me when I am on the computer.

I hope each and everyone of you will have a safe and happy New Year !!
Going out ?......staying home ?.........making resolutions ?...... whatever it may be........Happy New Year !

There was snow on the ground yesterday morning.......it was a long run......but I think winter has found us now. Snowing again now....and a winter weather advisory for our area today and tonight....wind and more snow with possible freezing rain mixed in.
I think I will just stay in the house till......March.
The only good thing about the snow is it covered the dirt in the yard and the dog's feet are not as muddy.

I better get busy on my "list of resolutions" for the new year.........(all I have to do is change the date on last year's list.)

Happy New Year !!!

Hope your Christmas was wonderful......

Mr. Menace resting up after the busy holiday.....................

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas......sorry I didn't mail any cards this year. But I do appreciate the cards, letters and pictures that I got from family and friends. I will try to do better next year.

Today I am putting away some summer clothes....(most people do this in September) I am just a bit slow. Guess I was hoping to skip winter all together this year. Our weather continues to be amazingly warm for this time of year.......but they are warning of some slick roads, because it is too warm for snow......so we will get some rain......... And then again.....maybe it will dry up and miss us again. This time last year we were waiting for the second blizzard to hit.
I so hope we have minimal snow this year......I just don't want to drive or trudge through drifts of snow. Everyday we are one day closer to spring.

Got plans for the New Year ??? Making all sorts of revolutions ??....... I just change the year on the top of the paper that I write down ALL my revolutions that I just swear that I am going to do THIS year. LOL.......

I am also organizing my list of blogs that I read.........I read too many........I try to keep up on too many........I hate to delete them just because they don't post for a few days..... ( I am sure some have deleted me for the same reason) How many is too many ?? Which ones do I say good-bye to ?........tough decisions.
Deleting is hard to do on the computer............some days I do real well........some days I think I will go back and read emails and other stuff..... I suppose that is another form of hoarding.......and soon there will be a reality show about people who KEEP everything on their computers.

Guess I better move on to something else....
till next time......... I wish you well.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2011

Look at these temperatures !!! This was the forecast from the other day........this morning it is just beautiful out ! It is 10:45 am and it is 34 out. Going for a high in the low 40's. MOST of us are very excited here about this warm, brown Christmas because this has cut at least a couple months off our normal North Dakota winters.

Sunset last night as we went to our kid's house for Christmas Eve.........

I am not a Grinch.............but this was on a pillowcase that I made for our Grandsons.......and I thought it was a cute picture.

Good 'Ol Grinch !............ Love this fabric.

So.....now I better go eat breakfast - my hubby has made waffles and bacon......and I need some more coffee in my cup.

Have a wonderful day ......................enjoy your family and friends....................

Merry Christmas !

See those grain bins in the top picture............they have been there for years.

Yesterday they tore them down............... not sure why ........... but it sure looks different.

Christmas is almost here - are you ready ?......Guess I am as ready as I will be.

I hope next year I decorate more, make more gifts, bake some cookies.......and all those fun things.

We are still on track for a "brown Christmas" here in eastern North Dakota.

Time to get the dogs in and head to work. Have a good day everyone.

Almost Christmas

Can somebody tell me how the last two months have just flown by ???? Where does the time go ??? And now Christmas is upon us and I really, really way behind. I had all these plans for decorating, making gifts, enjoying the music and getting all this and more done. And.....well, I got out a Christmas coffee cup - guess that will have to do.

We have been very busy at work - which is good.......But I hear that lots of other people are not quite ready for Christmas either. Tomorrow I am going to sit and sew with friends at the quilt shop. We all bring treats to share and do a little game and gift exchange and sew and visit. That will be a fun Christmas celebration, just enjoying the company of friends.

See that bare ground...............shhhhhhh...........no snow here in eastern North Dakota.

We have really had wonderful fall weather........dry.........and above normal temps. Today was cold and windy........but still not more than just a smidgen of snow. So...winter is already a good 2 months shorter this year. Yeah !!! ........I will take that.

We have had many sunny warm days........ the other day I even had the window open for a little while.

So............in case I don't get back to my blog...........I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
