WHY WOULDN'T I?

Thanks, Wendy!

Really? 5?

It doesn't seem all that long ago that I was sitting in an uncomfortable hospital lounger/torture apparatus with my mom for what seemed like days, but in reality was ONLY 28 hours, watching my oldest daughter Leyna slip into a wonderful epidural induced haze while we were waiting for my granddaughter Logan to make her grand appearance into this world and our family, but it has been FIVE YEARS since that evening! Yes, I have a beautiful, smart and extremely funny granddaughter that turned FIVE yesterday, and although Leyna has a sharp wit and is the queen of snappy comebacks, little Logie gets her sense of humor as you'll see from this first picture from her dad. Could they look any more alike posing for this shot?!?

A beautiful princess ball gown for our beautiful princess!Ciara poses for a quick pic amidst Logan's gift unwrapping frenzy.Cousins Christopher and CiaraJie Jie, would ya just blow out the candle already so I can have some of that fine lookin' cake?What a doll!This morning while eating breakfast Ciara still wanted to party, lol

WINTER POEM

My sister-in-law Shelley emailed me this poem this morning and after stepping out to the store to go get some Diet Coke, lol, I felt it was highly appropriate and so true.

WE LOVE PENNSYLVANIA!!

WINTER Poem

It's winter in Pennsylvania
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.

Oh, how I love Pennsylvania
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Pennsylvania
I'm frozen to the ground!

IT JUST KEEPS SNOWING AND SNOWING!

A few pictures from today taken from my front and back porch....and it's still snowing!!!

We have been cooped up in this house for two solid days. Count 'em...one...two!!! And we are going a little stir crazy! Leyna and I may just get brave tomorrow and go into Sugar Grove to get something, anything!! Chocolate sounds good about now!!

Here you can barely see our barn.I know the picnic table should've been put away by now, but that sucker is H.E.A.V.Y! It will be buried soon!

NEW YEAR'S DAY FESTIVITIES

Every year most of my family collects at my parents' home for the New Year's Day feeding. Well, almost every holiday my family collects at my parents' home for a feeding, lol. Okay, it doesn't even have to be a holiday, all right, but that's not the point of this post. The point is: I have more pictures, lol.

And without saying any more, even though I know you guys love to read me ramble, here they are!!
