First Snow of the Season… and Chili
It’s official; today is the first snow of the winter season. I normally love snow because it’s so pretty to look at, and I can curl up next to the fireplace, drink hot chocolate….. But we have to get to our small group bible study tonight since I’m making the main dinner entree (chili). I [...]
What a Beautiful Spring Morning
Today is my day off, so I’m sitting here in the office with the window open, catching up on college homework and email. I’ll probably play Anno Venice at some point too. The dishwasher is running and I’ll get some laundry done too, later on. We just took a power hit, which did not make [...]
