More snow!

Aren't we lucky, it's snowing again and we have winter weather advisory until 6pm. I'm not sure how much we are to get but there is about 4 in. out there right now. I believe it's here to stay until spring. Thur. is suppose to be a high of 10. I wouldn't mind it so much if I could just stay at home curled up by the fireplace with a good book and a cup of hot cappuccino, or sewing on a quilt. Ooooohhhhhh that sounds sooooooo nice! We leave for Texas in a week, I hope that it isn't snowing next week. Have a great day, whatever you are doing and where ever you are!

Some Thanksgiving fun...the kids (young adults) playing Monopoly.

Yuck, it's Monday and there's snow!

I won't boar you with more snow pictures, there was a few inches and the wind was blowing when I left for work this morning. It was a bit slick and of course as always.....COLD! Sat. I had the pleasure of driving down to Milwaukee to the Bucks game with a group of exchange students. Here are some pics from that adventure.

It's here......

It's fairyland again. This is what I woke up to this morning......so I guess winter is here now. I'm not too excited, but for now it is very pretty on the trees.

Our Beth Moore bible study concluded with soaking our feet in the bathtub as we talked about our week. Anyone who has done the "Stepping Up" study will understand. It was very relaxing.

The quilt is done!

I've finally finished Hans' quilt, this is for Christmas. I only have one more to get done now for a gift. I had a lot of problems and interruptions while doing this one, but I like the way the fabric worked with this pattern...I can't remember the name of this block. It looks better in real life, I'm not very good with the camera and our camera doesn't take the clearest pictures, but you get the general idea.

The wedding is a month away

Here is there engagement picture....how cute is that!
I can't believe that my first born son will be married soon. It is a big step in his and Victoria's life. Steve and mine too!
Hope everyone enjoys their day!

Looking at Navy Pier from the Handcock building

We had a very nice and fairly warm weekend down in Chicago. The weather was wonderful for November and we saw a lot of things. There was Great America, The museum of Science and Industry, IMax,The Shed, John Hancock and a bit of Michigan Ave. Plus a wonderful group of 21 students made it a great time!
