Snow Day today! I made the boys a bunch of pancakes.
We now have breakfast for the rest of the week.
Pop them in the toaster to heat & eat! :)



I just learned today that my young friend, Devin passed away
yesterday morning.  I really miss being at the elementary
school and am so thankful to have had the opportunity 
to meet such an amazing little boy. Rest peacefully, Devin Gombert.

Usually we see Dennis in the garage staring into space.
But he's happy! haha

Trying to keep the oil bill down,

Just when you thought you've seen it all...
It's WINTER, and it's only 10am and already
they are heading to "Lichty Land" to drink their beer??

It was so foggy and dreary all day today.
Spent most of my day on the couch watching movies.
At 5pm, I got off of the couch, opened the front door,
and snapped this pic. Oh, the excitement. lol

I'm "ducking" out of today's challenge and sharing a 
photo from a few days ago. I was too busy to get
my camera out today. I'm now remembering just
how hard this challenge can sometimes be. lol

I was sneaky today...caught the boys playing a game 
of "catch the pencil case" on their way home from school.

I didn't take any pics today, so I'm sharing a "Flashback"
From the early 1970's, my Pappy Highland
I study this pic often...I don't remember Pappy
having facial hair! I miss him dearly.

Picked up my little piece of plastic today
 that cost me $282 (out of pocket).
Hopefully the headaches and jaw pain go away!

It doesn't take much to excite me...
I was beyond thrilled to find my great-grandparents
in the 1930 Census.  My grandmother's name is not listed 
with her 10 other siblings because she was born a month
after the census was taken. Awesome find!! :)

A little breezy and chilly, but otherwise 
a real nice day for a walk along the canal.

My favorite Christmas gift, from Mom,
a "Gratitude Tree". It came with 100 tags
for me to write on...I hope that will be enough! :)

Two minutes into 2013 I rang in the new year!
Happy New Year!!

I always say that time really is flying by. I have to admit, though, that in this case a year seems like so long ago. I took a break and didn't post any pictures in 2012. It is now 2013 and I am ready to jump back in. At times, it was nice to take a break, but I now realize how much I have missed this.  It's going to take me a little time to get used to this again....the picture taking part is fairly easy (most times), but getting used to the changes that have been made by blogger.com could take me some time. I'm so excited to be back and can't wait to see what I capture for 2013. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :)
