Winter WonderLand In NEPA

Well here it is Jan. 7, 2009 and all the schools are canceled. The roads are a mess the trees are hanging. The ice is so thick on the trees, I wish I would of had my camera with when we went into Hazleton. Some of the roads were just a perfect picture with the ice on the trees. I got a picture this afternoon of our walk way out in front of our house. Some of the roads were one great big ice skating rink. You can not do to much outdoors on a day like today, unless you love to ice skate. So I spent my days indoors not doing much of anything. I have some aprons I can finish sewing, that will be my project when I am done here. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable day. Till next time!!

``Busy Bees`` A little bit about me.

Today is Sunday and it is cold outside!! I can not wait until it starts to warm up. I love the picture of the bee, my husband took this picture out in front of our house. This is just so beautiful and amazing what the eye can catch on camera. I am sitting here in front of my computer down in my basement. I am trying to decide if I want to remain here and play on the computer for awhile or go upstairs and get something done. I baked some banana nut bread yesterday and ate it warm right out of the oven. That was a first for me and I did not like it warm. I will have to sit here someday and put some of my favorite recipes on here. I love to bake and sew and crochet hats and scarves and afghans and blankets. I had entered some things into the Bloomsburg Fair last year. This was the first time ever and I won second place for a blanket I had crocheted for our bed. My husband was so proud of me, he has been after me for several years to enter something into the fair. The year before I missed out because my babygirl was in the hospital. I will have to take some pictures of this afghan and place them on here. I still have the ribbon and the check with it, still in the bag. I did not cash the check I held onto it as a reward. I have so much to share with each and everyone of you. I just need to sit down one day and put my thoughts here. My life has been a roller coaster and will continue to do so.

No Title

I AM USUALLY WORKING ON AFGHANS OR APRONS! I LOVE TO BAKE PUMPKIN ROLLS MMMMMMMMMM SO GOOD. PAT LOVES TO SEW ALSO. WE ARE WORKING AT RETRO TYPE APRONS. THE PROCEEDS OF THESE APRONS GO TO A CHARITY.

**Christmas At Our Home**

Christmas at our home with the tree all decorated, the girls hanging on Santa. And my Husband sitting by the fireplace. The girls hanging on Santa was actually taken at a Breakfast with Santa.

(Our own Town within a Town)

This is our own little town within a town. We had been adding to this collection but this year we did not. We actually have another little village underneath our tree every year. Our neighbors just love it we have it in our foyer and it can be viewed from outside. My husband enjoys putting this together with his youngest son and our grandchildren. Just had to share this with you all.

****Christmas is here and gone****

What a wonderful time of the year! the grandchildren and children just loved everything.

Very Interesting To Me I Found This Today. " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

Origin

This saying first appeared in the 3rd century BC in Greek. It didn't appear in its current form in print until the 19th century, but in the meantime there were various written forms that expressed much the same thought. In 1588, the English dramatist John Lyly, in his Euphues and his England, wrote:

"...as neere is Fancie to Beautie, as the pricke to the Rose, as the stalke to the rynde, as the earth to the roote."

Shakespeare expressed a similar sentiment in Love's Labours Lost, 1588:

Good Lord Boyet, my beauty, though but mean,
Needs not the painted flourish of your praise:
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye,
Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues

Benjamin Franklin, in Poor Richard's Almanack, 1741, wrote:

Beauty, like supreme dominion
Is but supported by opinion

My Beautiful Daughter Christina

Hi here I am again still playing around with this. There is a lot to learn, I just posted a picture of my beautiful daughter Christina. Christina is such an inspiration to all who know and love her. She cannot talk or walk but her expressions say it all. We all complain of everyday aches and pains or life in general. Christina usually has a smile on her face no matter what. This child has experienced more pain in her life then most. Christina has alot of medical issues one of them is severe scoliosis, along with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. This child can be happy and smiling one minute and the next she can be in respiratory distress in the hospital on a ventilator. She is well know in the hospital in the Lehigh Valley Area. She amazes even her doctors that care and treat her, for someone as complexed as she is. Christina always pulls through, Thank God. Today she is still sleeping away in her bed with her nurse by her side. Christina will sleep until 12:oo somedays and others she is bright eyed and bouncing about by 7 a.m. We also have a special link to Wheels for Christina, Helping the Special Needs & Developmentally Disabled. This is the charity we are making the aprons for, we hope to sell lots of them.
