Snow Day!

This past Monday we had a forecasted blizzard coming. They forecasted 12-18" but in the end we seemed to get a mere 8-10". Well who cares, but except for the fact that I also ended up with a day off from work. Woo-hoo! My first snow day in 5 years! More to come but this is for Melissa while she is still at work. Hope that this helps!
Here they are! I shot mainly from the hip after awhile. It becomes fun just to see what you may end up getting. Sometimes you get something special and sometimes just a blurry shot of the sky or the ground.

The Day After Xmas (Or More Toys To Put Together)

Today, the day after Christmas is reserved for putting together the myriad of toys that never got played with yesterday. Today was the day for Hot Wheels tracksets, whcih I have to admit are gobs of fun! They're all put together in all sorts of Rube Goldberg fashion, each car triggering another. They've come a long way since I remember them as a boy!



















Christmas Dinner 2010




And Byron helped mashing the sweet potatoes.


Mmmm... ham with a molasses glaze and basted and boiled in Coke, yes, Coke!


Along with corn pudding, it was a great simple feast!
