I did something this morning I don’t think I’ve ever done before – simply because I am very strict with myself. I got up to a light coating of snow on the driveway. Normally I would have bundled up early and cleared it. I looked at the crazy cold temps and said, “naaaa.” I did my treadmill, got ready for work, and just slowly crept up the driveway. No problem. It was mostly cleared off from the sun by the time I got home, but still a few snowy spots. Hoping it warms up enough to melt the rest. It was just very cold. I don’t have to go out again until Thursday morning. Nate sent me this picture this morning, and I think this summer when Kelly is here for a few days I may try to duplicate this. It would be perfect for me!
After work and a bowl of soup I met Nate at the house and started in doing some cleaning again. They have a lot moved and a lot cleaned. Today I did the small furniture pieces that were already there, scrubbed the washer and dryer, and wiped down the walls and door in the laundry room. Jen should be all set to start putting things away. Nate and Dave painted Chrissy’s room and it’s very pretty. All that’s left to paint is the baseboards and the door/window trim. She’s very excited!
My niece Sarah shared her son’s journey – He was born with a left clubbed foot, and has had casts since he was two weeks old! Today he had surgery to start the correction process. The surgery went well and the doctor was pleased. The staff at Children’s Hospital were loving and efficient and supportive. It will be a long journey but with the incredible staff taking care of Wyatt he is in excellent hands – and God is so good! Please pray for Wyatt as he continues this journey – and for Sarah and the entire family who loves and takes care of him!

Inspiration calendar – Fine solitude; some precious quiet time to soothe your spirit and calm your emotions.
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Switzerland! Someplace I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go. The Alps, the vistas, the castles. The picture I posted was Lake Geneva. Other places of interest are Lake Como tour/Lucerne, Swiss Village day trip, Swiss Grand Canyon, Chocolate & Cheese factories, Rhine Falls, Lunch with Heidi (haha), – I’d GO THERE to have lunch with Heidi, the Grandfather, and Clara! Zurich, Albula Railway, Matterhorn, Jungfraujock (Top of Europe), Interlaken. The whole country is amazingly beautiful!

TOMORROW January 12th is:
Tomorrow, for me, is cleaning day. I have to really keep after the basement floor. It’s quite the challenge. Stay warm and have a happy day! God bless…
