Holiday Greetings

It occurred to me today that I would like to say Merry Christmas (sorry I am late) and Happy New Year to all my family and friends.  Although  my postings are rather sporadic I have appreciated every comment or response that I have received: ).

I am very thankful to have had all the children here for Christmas!  We went out on the property and found a Christmas tree!  We haven't had a real tree in a number of years so this was very exciting.  Thank you 3A's and Mary for making it a beautiful tree!

Below are a few close up of ornaments:

This is a cake A2 made:

Here is a picture of the lighthouse at the end of the peninsula:

Until next year!!

Pictures

My daughter commented to me today that I don't write anything on my blog anymore.  I gave the excuse that I didn't have any pictures.   However, in thinking about it later I decided you don't have to have a picture ( although I really like pictures!).

So here is a blog without a picture (but you can visualize the picture I would have taken if my hands hadn't been so cold:)   Daughter and I went skiing today because of school being canceled due to snow and cold temps.  It was very cold (20?) and very windy but fun except when I was shivering on the chair lift.  (Due to the fact Michigan has hills rather than mountains the runs are quite short so you spend quite a bit of time on the chair lift).  I learned to always bring an extra sweater! We enjoyed all the fresh air and hope to be able to go again soon!!  May everyone be enjoying the beauty of winter!
