Yet another snow fall and another round of strong winds predicted and we spent the entire day yesterday encased in a snow globe. (well said, Deb!) The snow that was falling was steady and beautiful. Falling straight down - huge flakes and never ending. They were predicting that the winds would come up but it never did so the snow that fell just sat where it landed. As I looked to the north last night out my office window, all I saw was white. Huge mounds of white. I noticed that the propane tank disappeared and there appeared to be a large mountain on the other side of the driveway from there. So much snow. It will be a very wet spring - again. Just like last year. We only hope that it starts melting a little at a time so the earth has a chance to soak it in instead of puddling and creating rivers and lakes where they shouldn't be. Hoping that spring comes soon!

Busy weekend in the kitchen
Lots of good stuff coming out of the oven this past weekend. With the cold weather, predicted storm, ice, rain, snow, wind it just seemed like a good idea to be ready to hunker down and stay home this holiday weekend. We did manage to get to a friend's house for New Year's Eve but it was dicy. Near white out conditions on the way there but better visibility on the way home. Had a good time and glad we went!

My family
Mary and Keith, Jennie and Curt, Sheila, John and I
Kids, grandkids, siblings, teens, adults, whatever
you call them they belong to us!
Ratzlaff Christmas
Sunday, Decembe 26 brought us to Jennie and Curt's house for the Ratzlaff Christmas. Wonderful food, good laughs, fun times. We bring the Bingo game that I bought at the auction we had when our aunts passed away and it's nice to have the reminder of Edna and Lavina every Christmas. We also have prizes to give away to the Bingo winners but we usually have so many prizes that we just keep playing the same game without clearing our cards until everyone has won a prize for that game. Sundrop - a favorite prize.
A variety of other prizes
and more prizes - notice the summer sausage and pepperoni sticks from LaSalle meats. They were a hit and didn't stay on the table very long.
I think he's happy with his xBox....
This is the creepy smile that gets on my face when someone buys me a gift that's AWESOME!! My girls love me and know me well. They bought me the first two seasons of Dexter and I LOVE DEXTER!! If vigilante serial killers float your boat then give Dexter a look see. Hope blood and gore don't bother you too much...
