Another cold night, but no snow yet. It’s only noon – so I’ll update this later. JJ & Max were back in Sunday School, and they looked so dapper in their blue corduroy pants and red sweaters! Like college prep! We were making a treasure box, and we put a little cologne on a cotton ball. Max was amazed and said “Thank you SO MUCH! I have always wanted perfume. I love it!” JJ liked the rock…
Later in the day yesterday my daybed WAS delivered. I intended to slide it inside the house from the front porch. I couldn’t get it up over the threshold. So I imposed on my cousin Paul – and he and Nicholas (8) came up and helped get it inside. He also took the other bed apart, which is now in my living room (ended up moving it to the garage)! Then he put the new day/trundle bed together, at least the pasts that needed a screwdriver (I’m not good at that – remember???). I put the slats in, the braces on, and the safety tabs. I ordered the mattresses because it’s sad to say that local stores charge high delivery fees, but Wayfair and Amazon, etc, deliver free if over a certain amount. So the mattresses were on sale, plus no delivery fee, and come right to my door! What more could I want? They will be here Tuesday – how can you even beat that….
After church I changed into multi-layered clothing and met Teresa and her friend Janice – Teresa drove and we went to the Ice Fest in Ligonier. It was cold, but we all stayed warm enough. We walked around looking at the sculptures, then took time to go in a few stores. My favorite is always the vintage or antique stores. We grabbed a hot drink along the way just to keep warm. Saw a few people I knew there, too, which is always fun. Here are some of my favorite sculptures:
And pictures of us and around town.
It was a beautiful snow.
Also found a ‘Smile’ Rock by a lamppost at the gazebo. I posted pics on their facebook page and will re-hide it next time I’m somewhere different! This is the second pass-along rock that I’ve found and I think it’s fun!
January 23 – Tell about the naughtiest thing you ever did. If you got caught, describe the consequences. “Hazel & I were painting the big kitchen. Uncle Edd kept telling us we were doing it wrong (we probably were). I was up on the step ladder and when he came close & pointed and said I had missed a spot I reached over & painted his bald head. I don’t remember what punishment I got but I was very ashamed I had done such a thing!” I think I posted this last summer, but it’s worth repeating! It IS funny!
Calendar inspiration is from Snoopy:
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Montana – specifically vacation ranches. The picture posted was an all-inclusive vacation ranch. Some of the offerings they may provide are Historic sites and battlefields, Indian Country, Ghost towns, dinosaur museums, Lewis & Clark Trail. Ranches offer golf, photo safari, hospitality, beauty, scenic views, dog sledding, snow biking, spas, skiing, yoga, hatchet throwing, pool, fishing, archery, white water rafting, scenic river float, cattle drives, snowmobiling, backpacking. And more!

TOMORROW January 24 is:
I have never actually appreciated a beer can. Sorry. I think all of us can pay a compliment. Have a good week and stay safe and warm! God bless…
