I will eat Breakfast Food at every meal.
In fact, I pretty much DO!
Holidays are when I do breakfast best…

One of the BEST things about Nebraska Winter is FREE OUTDOOR REFRIGERATION!
We had frozen things outside and refrigerated things in a styrofoam cooler in our garage.
The fruit was PERFECT and that was a GOOD thing because raspberries in December in Nebraska are EXPENSIVE!

Waffles and Fruit and a Christmas Blizzard!

Coldest Day in the history of mankind occurred in Vail, Iowa, 24 years ago when I married my best friend.

Sounds like we are gonna be snowed/sleeted/iced in today.
That’s okay.

He’s still my best friend~!

Happy Anniversary, Daniel Boone!

“There is in every true woman’s heart a spark of heavenly fire,
which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity;
but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.”

Washington Irving

Some of the women in my life are having moments of prosperity or adversity.
I guess you either have one or the other, right?

But this quote is for my One and Only Sister-In-Law, Sue, who lost her mother this past week to cancer.
(by the way, cancer sucks)

Grandma Bobbie was beautiful, patient, generous, and supportive to me.
I felt like she was MY children’s grandmother, too!
Sue, I’m so sorry.

It isn’t fair.

I have a cousin who has a boy with cancer and a high school friend with a young daughter with cancer and my mother has been touched by cancer and on and on.

To you all, I wish you STRENGTH.
