Let's Have a Look-See

I'm not really sure how I ran into these questions , but last year Wes and I answered them.  There are 52, one for each week of the year. When you are done,  you have a pretty decent life history. We gave them to our kids for Christmas. Just what they wanted. However, It was a good experience. Literally and nice journey through life. I kept thinking that I should add pictures to it. I have started scanning in pictures so  I can put a face to all those stories.

Here we sit in our warm house. We are having another Snow Day. I used to like Snow Days, but not so much any more. I took this picture for Richard on Sunday. My little snow mounds are now about 7 inches taller. Here is the deal. A snow day starts with a 5 am phone call. Why can't they call it the night before? It is not fun to be woke up by the phone. I am tired. Yesterday, as it was snowing like crazy and we were at school, I said to my dear friend and helper, Grandma  Susan, "What is with this winter?" She said to me, "It is like the winter of '48'" I don't want to relive history. I feel like I live in a snow globe.

I have made it a goal to stay positive this week. There are some things that make it really hard. 1.  It is so stink'n cold here. 2. There is ice everywhere. 3. The media is making Trump look like an idiot. or maybe he does it himself, I really don't know. So here is my positive list. 1.  I have had house guest since the 23rd of December. The last one left on Friday. Scott is here, but he is not a guest. 2.  The full moon shinning on the snow was beautiful. 3.   I have been reading more and it is very enjoyable. New list next week. Peace Out.

We have had some snow this week. We had a blizzard. We are now going to have an event/storm. I am going to call it a mess. But I have something else on my mind this morning. I have this on my mind often. I'm calling this,  I don't think Jesus loves guns. First of all, I'm not a believer of taking away anyone's right to have a gun. However, I don't think anyone has a right to a semi automatic weapon. If you want to go hunt, so your family can eat...knock yourself out. If you find it relaxing to shot..go to a shooting range and shoot. But I have yet to find a reason to own a weapon that's only purpose is mass killings. Here are some questions I have been asked. What if someone wanted to steal your stuff? You can have my stuff.  I don't need it. For where your  treasure  is, there will your heart be also.  Luke 12:34 What if someone wanted to kill you? I'm not afraid to die, And it shall...

Am I the only one who is wondering where last week went to? I have no Christmas pictures from my house. I tried to take a picture on Christmas,  and it just didn't happen. Here are some after Christmas pictures. I love going to Sun Valley in the winter and the summer. This kid had his own kind of fun. Everyone else had to work for it. It was a beautiful day. They did a good job. It wasn't too cold. Between you and me, that's why we went. It felt great to be outside in the sun for a while. Here are a couple of pix's of my grand daughters. For the record, they were not in Sun Valley. But they were having a great time. And the grand sons. They are crazy little men.

I worked this week until Thursday. As a matter of fact, I think we were the only district in the Magic Valley that went to school on Thursday. Just thinking about spending the week before Christmas with 18 seven year olds was over whelming. I thought about what I used to do with my own kids. We had a Santa day. They had written to Santa, and he wrote back. I had a parent tell me that their daughter was so excited about the letter that you would have thought 'that Jesus had come to our house that day.' They were good letters. Turns out Santa knew something personal about every student. We did 2 days of Reindeer writing and activities. Concluding with reindeer cookies. Okay, so these didn't really work out, but they were good. We went across the icy  parking lot and street to a Senior living center and sang for them. I saw some big smiles from some grandpas and grandmas. We did a readers theater. It was ...

I'm telling you right now, this post is ridiculous. I feel the need to be ridiculous sometimes. I would like to take a minute and talk about my favorite Christmas Song. It is, hands down, Santa Clause is coming to Town. I loved it as a kid, but I had some real concerns because I was pouter. Would he come or not? Then when I grew a little older, Bruce Springsteen came out with this version . I love this. I love it when my son Scott sings it. It is my goal this year to record it without my cackle or voice in it. For the record, I haven't been able to do it to this point. And then there is this version by the Carpenters. You can't be my age without a little Carpenters love in you. I had no idea when I was a child that I grow up to become the Santa Claus. A job I loved and took seriously. At any rate, I hope you take some time for some fun this Christmas.
