My sweet husband has been pretty ill since just before Christmas. We thought he was better, but now he is down again, and being admitted to the hospital this afternoon.
Wish us luck. 2012 is giving us one last kick in the keister! But still, I have high hopes for 2013.
Happy New Year. Be safe, happy, and HEALTHY!!
Hugs and love from Robin.
Merry Meet and Merry Part, and Merry Meet again

Eve of The Eve
The snow continues to fall on us, icicles are forming around the roof and the snowpiles on either side of the driveway are getting higher. Winter Wonderland!
We have been watching movies, playing with kittens and dogs and even done some decluttering and furniture rearranging. I seem to always want to make the men of the house move stuff at this time of year. To start the New Year with a different view, so to speak. The Christmas stuff comes down on New Year's Day. Usually sort of blah and blech for a couple of days after.
No big plans for New Year's Eve, as usual. It is a night for popcorn, movies, board games. Sometimes we make it to midnight, sometimes not. I know, how boring is that, right? But it's how we like it.
After a very very quiet Christmas, I am looking forward to a fresh, bright New Year. 2012 was a little rough going for our family, so I am expecting good things from 2013.
I wish the same for everyone!

Winter White
Well, we got a bunch of this:
And my son did a lot of this:
Watching all the snowblowing wore somebody out:
Someone else was very tired too:
And the thought of some Christmas leftovers made someone do this:
Looks like a certain sparrow family need to get their shovels out:
Hoping this time in between Christmas and New Year's is happy, healthy and safe. Hugs from Robin.

Hello, Winter!
On the second day of Winter, my true love Mother Nature gave to me; 12 inches of snow overnight.
Today is the perfect day for baking, playing great music, sipping hot chocolate and enjoying the comforts of a cozy home in winter.
