My leukemia's back.

I live way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula it gets bone chilling cold. Not uncommon for 30 below in middle of winter. And snow piles up so high I can't see out my living room window. Hopefully by then I can figure out how to post pics. That's another thing I'm concerned with is keeping my ducks warm and cozy through the winter.

I think my figured out that it gets a bit deep up there when he figured out what the red and white poles next to the fire hydrants were for.

We lived in upper state NY for a few years when I was a kid. Somewhere, my mother has a picture of my 6'3" father shoveling snow out of the driveway, and the pile he's shoveling onto is taller than he is.

He was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, so that sort of thing was nothing new to him, but to my Georgia peach mother, it was all a bit much. You see where we moved to, don't you?

@Little lake Phi have you seen these instructions for posting pictures? Maybe they'll help (I'm not real tech-minded or I'd offer you more).

Love it!

so, just gotta share this. Once in a while, a Momma's heart just swells and you can't believe you helped create this wonderful being.

Last night, it was just Echo, Sugar Monkey and I for dinner. We always hold hands and say grace before the meal. There's no assigned prayer, we just bow our heads and whoever feels led prays. My boys have been doing this all their lives and are very comfortable praying out loud. SM asked Echo if he would say our prayer.

Echo "I'm not very good at this, I've never done it before. I don't know how."
Sugar Monkey "God's not grading you. It's easy."
Echo "I don't know what to say."
Sugar Monkey "I'll walk you through it." Bows head and starts praying "Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for...."
Echo "This day."
SM "you've blessed us with and we thank you for....."
Echo "uh....this food"
SM "You've provided for us and the hands that prepared it." Opens eyes and looks at Echo "and now we wrap it up"
in unison "In Jesus' name we pray, amen".

How cool is that? My boy walked his bro through his very first out loud talk to God.

Course, as my heart is bursting, the other part of me is thinking I hope God likes Mad Lib type prayers, cause that may be what's coming up from this house before dinner for a while

Well, I am going to try to post one with my new phone. You all will be my Guinea pigs. (Which are so adorable- why would anyone want to use them to practice on? I'd hug them and squeeze them...)



uhhh.
nope.
this might take a while...

I have the computer up while I am trying to do this on the phone.. so.. I can see that nothing is happening. I miss my Tech support kid...
,,,not just for this.. That sounded wrong somehow. (But you should hear the grumbles that come out of this room when my husband is trying to write his tests..
