A good time was had by all...







The leftovers are almost gone.
The trees are up.
The Christmas music is playing.
Love this time of year.
We even got snow yesterday.
Sledding. And hot cocoa. And mittens drying.
The kids are back in school and I've got oodles of laundry to do.
But it's all good.
It's Christmastime...

    I see from the picture that you had the requisite green jello salad. That reminds me so much of Grandma Young and all those thanksgivings growing up.

    That must be how traditions get started, eh?

    What gorgeous pictures, Cath. It looks like you had a wonderful time with your family. And snow?? C'MON! Could it be any more perfect? I think I'll put the tree up tomorrow... I'm finally getting the Christmas spirit. Did you get the laundry spirit you needed?

    I love decorations and music this time of year...I hate the shopping, though.
    Your photos are lovely. You are so good at pictures...

    So why were you taking a picture instead of praying? :-)

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well.
