Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr……

  • a slow, cold,  snowy day with nowhere to go, which makes me even more grateful for home than usual
  • almost completing my “to-do-list
  • cleaning and more cleaning with movies on Netflix in between
  • a delicious bowl of ham and potato soup with corn bread, for lunch on this bitter cold day
  • warmth and shelter, I pray for those that don’t have it in such frigid temps.
  • hot cocoa & marshmallows
  • the  beauty of newly fallen snow… although I am not a fan of cold weather, there is no disputing how beautiful it is
  • FaceTime, phone calls and texting which allow us to visit with our children when the weather prevents them from visiting
  • new Kindle books and plenty of time to read them while the snow falls heavily and  navigating is at a halt
  • warm UGG slippers (one of the gifts from my son for Christmas
  • clean sheets, freshly shaved legs, warm blankets, warm socks,  my favorite pillow and my snuggle buddy…think TOASTY all and be safe.
