Emmy was like a child on Christmas morning when I took her outside.
Just two days ago, the sun was shining, the lake was blue, the water was rippling against the shore. Now, shades of gray, sheets of ice and a thick white blanket of freshly fallen snow are decorating December's canvas.Ahhhhh, the beauty of Michigan.
Time to go inside . . . I made a pot of Northern Bean soup. Sunday was definitely a hot soup kind of day.This evening my sisters are coming over - to my nest - for our annual Christmas get-together. My theme is Oprah inspired: "my favorite things." We are each preparing one of our favorite dishes, and in lieu of individually chosen gifts, we are bringing three of the same thing - one of our favorite things - to gift each other. I thought that would be fun; sharing and giving and receiving something we each personally love.
I'll be back to writing and posting regularly in about a week or so, but for now - as a woman, a mother, and a 'gammy' - the holiday season keeps me very busy. I'll keep in touch with these little updates until Time gives me her gift.

Sounds lovely, Lindy. I hope you and yours have a safe and wonderful holiday. Looking forward to "seeing" you when you get back. :)
Lindy,
Have a peaceful time for the holidays and remember whatever you gain in weight you can lose by shoveling all that nasty snow.
Much peace

Thank you Kate and Mark. I wish both of you a wonderful Christmas.
I'll stop by your blogs before the holidays,
Take your time getting around, Lindy. Enjoy the snow days, holidays, and of course, your family.
Take care
Happy holidays -- here's to all favorite things. For me, it's sitting on my rear end, drinking, reading, and not worrying. We'll see how it goes!
