Spring Snow

Do you see the large snowflakes in this picture taken this morning? Lucky it's just too warm and late in the year for anything to stick or accumulate. I've had enough of the white stuff this year. The picture really doesn't do the snowfall justice. The flakes were so big and fat and juicy: you could actually hear them dropping on the carport. Some were nearly the size of quarters!

Update:
A full week later - on the 14th of March, we were letting the dogs out in the back yard and found this!!  We hadn't even realized it had snowed!

New Wheels

OK...we broke down and purchased a 'new' vehicle last Friday. This was locally owned by someone who is notorious for taking excellent care of their vehicles and we took the plunge. While not a flashy SUV and definitely not our Dream Vehicle, we like the ride and features. We'll keep the van for every-day driving and trips that require more cargo room.

Let it Snow

We got our first measurable amount of snow through the night last night. It's light and fluffy so it was easy to shovel away. Lucky for us - the neighbor came over and cleared a good part of the driveway and the walkway for us before we got out to finish it up..... Thanks Gene!!

Nativity visitor

Someone has joined the nativity! This arrived in the mail today all the way from Japan......and since I've not been in any hurry to take the nativity set down, she was able to go visit the baby Jesus right away. Love it.
Miss you too Mikayla!

What's wrong with this picture?

OK, this is a scene I observed this morning. - Do you see it?  Do you know what to do about it ?
Can U tell now?  It seems that DH was dusting off the keyboard of his laptop when - OMG - the orientation of the screen was sideways!!  He found out what he'd done and how to fix it.  Do you know how?

Mom and Brittney shared a birthday cake. It's Brittney's birthday and a day early for Mom, but she didn't complain one bit!! They were both birthday princesses.

Koster Christmas

  - Hosted by Jeff and Brenda -  I didn't end up getting to go to this due to a very unpleasant virus that hadn't run it's 24-48 hour course yet.  It looks like I missed seeing a lot of people I would have loved to had a chance to visit with.  Would love to see more pictures from the same event if you have any.
