Winter wonderland II and Cool Hand Oscar

It's been snowing since the wee hours of the morning and we are accumulating even more snow.  It's the super-fluffy stuff so it is looking gorgeous outside.

Devon spent THANKSgiving with her mom in New Jersey so Bob and I got to hang with Oscar again!  We love him.  He loves his crate.

Update from SLC, 9:41 MST:  Still snowing.  Snow's getting deep.

Here's some-a that Christmas music I was talking about

Flash mob style. The Hallelujah Chorus is coming to a food court near you!  



I love this kind of "impromptu" performance, so I've begun to post flash mob videos on a companion blog, here.

Happy day after THANKSgiving to you!

Happy THANKSgiving (as they say in Texas)

I am thankful for you, and you, and YOU!

Bob and I are headed to Tuscany for THANKSgiving dinner today, but I'm determined to cook a turkey this weekend.  I wish y'all could be here to enjoy the day with us, but Christmas ain't too far away, so I can last until then.

Have a great day, everyone, and remember to count your blessings.  We all have so many!

Winter wonderland

Don't y'all want to move back to Utah? We have a winter wonderland going here! The birdhouses all have bouffount hairdos, and we are [I am] dangerously close to pulling out the Christmas music, even though it's only November 21.

I love winter in Salt Lake City.

Also, go RAMS...state champs.  Pretty impressive.

Heifers, goats, sheep, llamas, camels

Heifer International

"Heifer International is a nonprofit that alleviates hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation through gifts of food and income producing farm animals and training. These animals provide a source of protein, such as eggs and milk, for children and generate income for families through the sale of animal products. Since 1944 Heifer has helped over 4 million families in 125 countries become self-reliant. Each family "passes on the gift" by giving one or more of its animal's offspring to another family in need" (Source: http://www.heifer.org/).

Shall we go for it?

And here, I give you our finished bathroom! We're thinking about moving a little cot in there, just so the hominess of the room doesn't go to waste.
