Up to 4 inches of snow is forecast for tonight! With all this snow, maybe we’ll have a white Christmas this year. Oh, yes. You know you wanna sing with me… I’m dreamin’ of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know… → Read more...
There’s nothing like waking up and opening the window blinds to discover freshly fallen snow on the ground. It makes one positively giddy. It’s a perfect way to begin December, methinks. → Read more...
So, Thanksgiving break… Thanksgiving was church, dinner with Amanda’s family. Friday was early morning shopping (6 a.m. to 10 a.m.) that netted us some great deals.

Several people asked me what I was referring to in my last post. I wasn’t trying to be cryptic. Rather, I was musing on the oft quoted question that Shakespeare asked in Hamlet: “To be or not to be, that is the question.” I think it’s an important question that all of us should ask ourselves every now and then. Are we being or not being? In other words, are you who you want to be right now? → Read more...
