Full of Grace


20 inches of soft powdery snow. Personally I love the snow and the hygge feeling it provides.


It reminds me to be grateful for a home, heat, a snowblower and still having the physical strength to operate it. Numerous times.

My mailbox is under there, somewhere


Last month our handyman went to winterize the pipes at our lake house and found this.


Amazingly, there is no structural damage except for a small overhang. The real loss is that it was one of two trees that supported my hammock.


A successful blood donation. I always give in honor of a friend who fought a rare cancer and had been turned away twice for transfusions because of a lack of blood supply. During my past two attempts my vein closed up before completing the full pint donation and I thought I would have to give up the practice. That was making me feel old. But with the help of a great Red Cross phlebotomist, I am back in the blood letting game.


A friend who will stay at our house and care for our furbabies while we are in Florida over the xmas break. Good reliable people are getting harder to find and knowing our home and pets are in excellent, loving hands will provide for an anxiety free vacation.


December 5th. Commemorating the birthdays of both Walt Disney and my father - gone now but still two of the most influential men in my life. Actually, the only men in my life : )
