Spring in Northern Minnesota!

Just a quick post to say LOOK AT THIS SNOW!!! And we’re supposed to get another 3-6 inches today! All I could do this morning is laugh! It’s just so bizarre!

Take a peek at yesterday’s post with this beautiful tree…Prayers, Gabi sees Yoda, and I’m Hibernating! Amazing the difference a day makes…and it’s supposed to be Spring!

We originally planned on heading out on a trip today, but between the weather and our oldest daughter being sick with the flu (we were heading down to see her)…

I think hibernation is in order for today too.

Gabi has already been outside to play – in fact if you look just to the left of my cute little Christmas tree buried under the snow – you’ll see her head sitting behind a snow bank!

Tim’s shoveled and snowblowed and looked like the abominable snowman when he came back in.

And now I think we’ll pull out a puzzle and spend some family time together.

Bring on the hot chocolate!

Tear off those North Face down-filled coats, breathe in that fresh air, and hang on Minnesotan’s…it’s almost here! Read more

Shine On, Grandma, Shine On!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…

Let’s see just how true that is…

Oh the stories behind this picture…

First off, let’s start with the vintage toasters, which don’t show up very well in this pic. There’s a cute little scroll mark on the front.

I found them at the dump, with the cords cut off, and quickly snapped them up – putting them in our truck. As I write this, I laugh, thinking about the look on my husbands face. Read more
