how much do i love you?


very very much! thanks everyone for all of your nice notes, photos, thank you's and commiserating with me during this most trying winter... there were days where i just thought we would never make it - whether it was from the constant work of digging ourselves out of snow, loosing power for days, ice storms and running out of oil - or the constant sound of the soccer ball hitting the frig, being attacked repeatedly by a remote car, sneak attacks of snowballs in the house or trying to cook while i'm being skateboarded around in the kitchen - we did make it - and you sent laughs my way....





things are back on schedule, once again - i've been able to get boards to dry finally by last week - wood is being delivered, and i can actually walk to my car, start it and go - the simple luxuries of life...ahhhhh...



i wanted to share some pictures with you - they lighten my heart when i see that you are loving what you added to your home - i am honored to be part of your lives...


thanks for all the laughs over this most harsh winter - the birds are singing in the morning again - a sure sign that all will be right very very soon...

ahhhh....i'm in love!



ok - first of all i'm not a 'salt eater,' so to speak - no chips for me thank you....the only foods that i actually put salt on is steak (lots and lots of it) and cantaloupe...(thanks hubby for turning me onto that one)...but that pretty much is it...


i discovered these pretzel bites today to add to the 'top of my list' of salt loving foods... you may have already seen them, but i had not - i am in a teeny tiny town, so it's hit and miss on smaller vendors showing up in our stores...

but honestly - they are soooo awesome that i had to blog about it - i know, that's just how amazing they are...


HK Anderson - pretzel bites (pizza) - 15 to a serving, which honestly i can't imagine nibbling on more than 5 or 6 without putting them up....pretty darn tasty though...




here's a link to their site - and be sure to pick some up when you go out (I promise you will love them) - and if any of you know oprah - give her a taste, for we all know what happens when oprah finds something that she loves!

march....it's pretty iffy...



i'm not mentioning the snow, school closings, slick roads nor how white isn't pretty anymore.
i'm just thinking of what i learned when i was a little girl....
in like a lion - out like a lamb....there is some light at the end of the tunnel...
