1.1.11

Curtesy of numerous neighbors we have watched fireworks for coming up on 4 hours tonight - all from the comfort of our living room! :-) Right now it is 12:20am and the booming hasn't stopped. There are fireworks going off non-stop from every direction. {I have to say I'm hoping there are mature adults in charge at the house directly behind us. There seem to be a large number of big, pretty fireworks being directed our way, over our house/cabin in the backyard [guess it's a good thing it was slushing/raining earlier], but they might just be being friendly because they can see us looking out the window and hear the pleasure of my kids.}

I know I haven't updated here in a long time - it has not been for lack of things to say, but lack of patience to log in (which I obviously finally figured out), a limited amount of what I want said 'world wide', and serious lack of time. I'm tired right now so I'm not going to update. I do hope to get to it in the next couple days - I only have 2 days of my Christmas break left. I kind of have a goal {if I 'feel' it, at a particular moment-which I haven't all break} to update before school starts again...we will see, I am not promising anything. I have been deliberate to enjoy this break, doing 'nothing' - we all needed it so much in so many ways!

Anyway - just checking in to say I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, blessed Christmas, and are ready for another new year of blessings and changes.
