What a difference a day makes

Yesterday.











Today.

Short Week :(

I'm totally bummed that I have to miss 2 days with my favorite person in the whole wide world. We're leaving early in order to get Matt back home due to airport backups here in the Philly area this week. I totally love and adore my grandson and treasure each minute spent with him. 48 hrs less than I expected is not acceptable for either one of us. I know that he will miss me too. When we are together it is special time for both of us and we can't really get enough of each other. Some things are just out of our control though and we have to go with it..............we don't have to like it though!

Socked In in Jersey

Yup, glad we weren't flying or driving back right now from Xmas in the
east! They have a few days to uncover before we leave. Makes me glad
I live in Michigan where we are always ready for it and it doesn't really
seem like a big deal to get 8-12 inches.

Cutness Times Two

It's going to be a fun few days with Dylan and his cousin Nora!  They don't make them much cuter!

It's that time of year again........

It's the time of year that Lee and I join Jane in her labor intensive effort of making sauerkaut balls. We're getting better at it each year so I think Jane is going to "keep" us. Done til next December!

Holiday Stress

The most "wonderful time of the year" as the song goes turns out to be not so much for lots of us.  I'm luckier
than most but not totally devoid of the stresses.  I don't bake, I have a lot of time to shop, wrap and think of
menu possibilities.  Looking back I don't know how I got all this stuff done when I worked and had kids to
keep me hopping as well.  Somehow though every year we make through and manage to enjoy it.
Now if I could just get my little elves back in line I'd be all set!
