Almost 2012

It is almost 2012 and it is so hard to believe!  I had a wonderful Christmas with a lot of my family here and all the talking, food, and friends.  I love having people over!  I fell a couple of weeks before Christmas and broke one of the small bones in my left wrist so I have a very awkward cast on - but I managed to cook for Christmas even though I had to find a glove to fit over the cast to work with it.  Stephanie and Shanna came up and helped me out with some of the cooking, cleaning, and chopping which made it a lot easier for me and I enjoyed their company.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and I hope 2012 is a happy and prosperous year for one and all!!

diamonds on the lawn

The yard and everything looks beautiful today.  It is so sparkly and everything looks like diamonds.  There is a very heavy frost that is frozen on everything.  It is very cold but with the sun starting to shine on it everything is gorgeous!
