January 30, 2011


Today marks the end of one busy week and the beginning of another. Just glad I have a nice warm bed to crawl into tonight, thanks to my wonderful hubby. He got me a heated mattress pad, and "PH" stands for preheat. Goodnight, all!

On the way home from my parents' house this afternoon, we found what we have affectionately dubbed "Beaver City." I tramped through a muddy field, but still couldn't get close enough to get a cool shot. And we couldn't get far enough away to get a good wide shot, either. But it was a really amazing find--at least one dam, at least one lodge, beaver footprints in the snow, and several freshly felled trees (including the one in this photo).

Celebrating my Dad's birthday today. (It's a snow thrower from the whole fam, btw.) Happy birthday, Dad!

Volunteered my time today. Almost eight hours of data entry. Symbolized by jewelry and ibuprofen. I brought it today. It got brought.

Super cold weather today. Called for popcorn and movies, staying warm under the blankets.

His name is Sheldon. I like how he watches over me through the kitchen window.

I had a first meeting with a potential mentee today. And this was her first cup of coffee at one of my favorite places. Hoping it won't be the last, coffee or meeting.

Today I volunteered for the first time at Welcome House in Covington. This is an awesome window near the desk where I put in my time at the computer. I really do love data entry!

Started my first writing group tonight. This was a "healing writing" group, I think it's going to be good.

It was a fuzzy warm sock kind of a day. Meaning I didn't have to put on shoes. Ahhh.

Comfort food. Robbie fixed macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight. It was a nice warm dinner after a long cold day.

New obsession? Collecting Paul Coelho books for my library. I found these for half price.

January 12, 2011 - 20 Years


Robbie and I celebrating our 20th anniversary at Mitchell's Fish Market. Still so happy together, and still crazy after all these years. (That's the Cincinnati skyline behind us.)

Posting early because I don't think anything can top this today: birth text announcement for Grace Trinity Rachael Hollums. Long road for my friends to be parents, but baby girl is here and all are well--birth mother and adoptive parents. Grace is a good name all the way around.

Glass half full or half empty? I am trying to choose a half full kind of day.

One of my favorite stained glass windows at the Transgfiguration Spirituality Center. Robbie and I had our Contemplation class there today.

This is one of the loaves of bread I baked for book club tonight. That was cancelled because of snow. Break out the butter! The first neighbor I see drive in is getting the other loaf.

My Thursday study group. I like the hand of my friend in the upper left corner, animated as she tells a story.

On the way back from trip to Louisville to see my mentor, Linda. I didn't realize until I was reviewing my pics that I had captured this exit ramp.

This reminds me of choices, of the different paths I'm considering.

The view from my desk. Spent the morning reading and planning. And drinking coffee.

Robbie's slippers and his hoodie are as sad as I am that he had to go back to work today. It's been nice to be home together during the holidays.

Robbie & I went to see The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader this afternoon. Good flick. Whatever happened to movie stubs? Included a pic of the ticket receipt instead.

New year, new calendar. And a new little space for organization, including an old basket I have re-purposed for the occasion.
