I'm 40...


I have never been one to worry or stress about my age. I am the age I am and there is nothing I can do to change my age.
First thing this morning after waking, I opened the door to let the dog out and I heard something I did not want to hear, the sound of water dripping off of the roof! Oh, no, all that beautiful snow, about 8-9 inches of new beautiful snow! The temperature had risen overnight and we had snow melting off of the roof and it rained all day.
I didn't take pictures of any of that, maybe when it is all finished. It is after 11PM and I still hear water dripping outside.
Get this, the roads are horrible here at these temperatures, pure ice. Public schools here were cancelled today and tomorrow, that happens so rarely here. I think the last time school was cancelled here was eight or nine years ago and for this very same reason. Forty below doesn't stop things in Fairbanks, Alaska but thirty five to forty above does! That is so funny to me!

The decorations




My gift made by my girls.


Blessings making cake!






Cake, they bought the trick candles. What does it mean when someone is warming their hands by the warmth of your birthday candles?


After the munchkin went to bed we played Yahtzee, fun times for sure.
All in all, at the end of the day it was a great day. Just what I like, calm, restful and spent with the people I love most.

Now for today,
Cleaning, baking and waiting for my wonderful husband to get home from taking Judith to the Clinic. She has not been able to put any weight on her right leg since late Sunday night....wondering what is going on here?
