"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

life up close...my final days of 2010~






“Ring out the old,
 ring in the new,
 Ring,
happy bells,
across the snow:
The year is going,
 let him go;
Ring out the false,
 ring in the true”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

dec 29

as we journey through these last days of 2010
here is a glimpse of our days that have been

my love home for 10 days
no work till the new year
this is a first ever
and a tradition he said that will continue to be


sitting in our car waiting for a resturant to open
what elese was there for me to do
but snap away the gray hasziness of the day


my hands of been busy
trying to finish up a blanket
started last winter for my love

crocheting


to knitting


and back round to crocheting
 in the wee early morning hours

it is a patchwork of different styles of kniting and crocheting that will all be stiched together

do you know what else has been happening


as i woke at 2:30 am
i looked out our window to see if ol' man winter
was really going to make it our way
and guess what

HE DID

though not so
bbbllliiizzzaaarrrddd
like
as most of you
and his visist shall be short lived
only suppose to stay round for the day

i am oh so happy
and i welcome
every flake
 every flury
that comes down from our sky

 SNOW

So glad your husband is home a few extra days. The extra days are such a wonderful gift for you both.

How lovely that you knit and crochet! The blanket is wonderful.

I appreciate the many word and picture gifts you share throughout the year!

Wishing you and yours all that is good in the coming year! Happy New Year!

Ahhhhh, a snow loving kindred spirit! We're still digging out. For realz. Some roads haven't even been plowed yet and the blizzard hit on Sunday. Living in Jersey have having this happen is very unusual...we're hardcore used to this stuff. Oh well, I guess I'll have to stick to sledding with Littleman and drinking cocoa...sigh...what a hard life ; )

I love the snow, but it's been dreadful here. The city is no place to be at this time. I'm so glad your love will be with you to ring in 2011.
And, I am glad to have met you...one of my gifts from 2010.

I love snow too - but am thankful we didn't get the amount that NY did. Actually, most of our snow is just on the hills now - which makes it look pretty, and keeps the roads safe!

Enjoy!

It is always so wonderful to have your loved ones around. It feels so very much together.
Your blanket looks lovely and warm, hope to see it when it is finished. Enjoy your time together!
