SNOWMEN


Snowmen delight us...sculptures made of snow, as individual as the flakes that create them, snowmen have to be added to everyone's list of things that make us happy. They are a must to enjoy, as they are here today and gone tomorrow.









The beginning of a family of snowmen our kids made.

They can be SWEET...

Who doesn't love Snowmen!? Fresh fallen snow brings excitement to families, like ours, who love to play in it. We dress our children up in their winter best and take them outside to introduce them to the wonders an afternoon can bring playing in the frosty white fluff. The crunch beneath our boots as we look for the best spot to make snow angels, and ice forts. If the snow is just right for packing, friendly little guys begin to appear as kids roll balls around the yard to create large rounds for their snow bodies. Traditional have a carrot nose, eyes of coal, twigs for arms..and over the years non-tradional snowmen who pop up out of children and children-at-heart's imaginations really make us laugh. Take a car ride during the snowy winter season, rediscover the beauty a fresh glistening blanket of snow can bring and a cheerful snowman or two to bring a smile. Here are some of our faves.

Snowmen aren't just for kids, this neighbor sculpts a different giant each year. Everyone loves his ideas!

...STOUT.....

Their creative snowman built a memory the family still talks about.

50 Reasons of Love

Happy Pink Saturday!
Found this heart at Walgreens, they were 2/$8.00.

 
 




A request arrived to ask me to talk about the jar on my Valentine's Day tablescape, delighted to explain. Don't you love this Day? It is the best time to focus on the ones we love and show them; candy, flowers, messages on pillows... and the best gifts are the ones from our heart. This Valentine's Day gift jar for my husband , made last year, has become part of our Holiday decor. He loves it and has read each note over again. The notes inside include messages of his greatness as a father, his faith, our experiences over the last 25 years, his forgiving nature, wisdom, and enduring qualities , and so on...50 was just the starting point for this ongoing project, the jar will have 25 MORE reasons inside this Valentine's Day. It's easy to write them if you think of them in topics. ex: the time he took you fishing, his volunteerisms, driving vacations with kids in the car, the little things that go unnoticed each day...  He 'll be surprised and who wouldn't be happy to read how appreciated for their daily choices to make their family happy. This year I am planning to do something similar for our children (they are in college). While I have the words all put together, I haven't figured out the presentation for them yet...ie a jar like their fathers or some other idea. Any suggestions?? Happy Valentines Day to you!!






Some have stick figure drawings...

Look! Real Men do wear PINK! HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

In June, a PINK fire truck rolled into a local spot to bring help raise funds and bring more awareness to breast cancer. Nationally firemen are coming out in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. They are wearing Pink tee shirts, driving Pink fire trucks, and even walking in Pink heels. They are using their own personal time to achieve their goal of raising funds for research to find a cure.
Many visitors have signed the pink truck in honor of someone who has suffered from breast cancer. What a Happy Pink Saturday!
