She's Making a Run For It

CJ has lamented not having enough time in the snow. She felt kind of icky over the weekend and just couldn't stay outside very long.

By Tuesday, she was ready to play. Of course, by yesterday, some of the snow that had been there on the weekend was no longer. The toboggan run was starting to show a little green underneath.

I didn't say, "Buck up, little camper," (a line made famous in Kelli's posts), but she needed some positive encouragement that there was enough snow to make it fun out there. Knowing that 7 to 10 (or more?) inches are on the way for this weekend probably cheered her up the most!

She makes an excellent run here and helps keep that toboggan run slick for another day...maybe....

Promise you'll help me make that ending go longer, OK? Maybe to the neighbor's driveway....

Well I'm jealous of your hill! Perhaps not the greatest hill for grass cutting in the summer, but awesome for sledding in the winter!!

We've not been sleeding. But ski pants should be in today (ordered them via 2nd day air, so perhaps the girls will get out yet. And if the second storm is snow instead of rain. Woo!

How fun! You do have a great yard for tobogganing.

I'm jealous of your snow. Whenever that storm hit, we didn't get any. How can Virginia be getting more snow than Philadelphia? But we're preparing for our big storm to start any moment. The kids are on high alert for falling flakes. Our day will be filled with sledding for sure.

Buck up, ha ha! Too funny. I think we should trademark that phrase. :-)

Have a wonderful weekend in the snow. I wonder what crafts you'll whip up to accompany indoor time?

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...

When I was 45....

I t was a very good year! (Yep, celebrating again! I hijacked my own blog--LOL!) The glass is half full, and things have never looked more browniful! Awesome day on tap.... sunshine, take-out barbecue for dinner, cake.... Thanks for celebrating with me! Enjoy.... ( Let it rise....One of my all-time favorite praise songs! )

Did You Find a Directing Sign?

I drove downtown a couple weeks ago to make a hand-off to a friend who was hosting an event. As we traded a couple of quick comments trunk-side, she invited me to join in her activity. I thanked her but declined saying, "I've already made one trip downtown this week." I grew up living 20 miles away from New York City. Outside of my Dad bringing us in to work at his college or my aunt taking us to Broadway shows every so often, we almost never went there. Later, I worked in Chicago and managed the trains and buses in and out of the city for five years -- until I took a job in the 'burbs. Now, going to the city is largely for entertainment purposes, and I tend not to be the driver for those occasions. Despite what you might be intimating, I do not dislike cities. They truly do have a quality and magnetism all their own. But me DRIVING in the city is another story entirely. And life today seems like a nonstop ride in the city.
