Camera Delivered

Horray.. It  just arrived.. I am so Grateful my daughter PJ  sent it to me.. Now I can post the pictures of the results of the storm that  held me captive in Wenatchee for 12 days! These were taken the afternoon I arrived.. See  no snow except on the top of the Cascades.  And then it started snowing.....

the next morning  this was my car.  My car was actually brushed off and the next day it looked the same. We measured 8 inches the first storm dropped and another 4 the next day...

It sure is pretty to look out and see...but horrible if you plan to travel far... So  Now I am home  Yeah! and we have NO SNOW! Happy girl I am.... Ours melted before I got home ...Its cold in the mornings, and no rain...Winter is still here I am sure...

A bit of a change in 2012

What did you do today? I have been pondering a change.. well not really  a big one  just a bit of one over on my Thishensacookin  blog site.  Change is good... and I  have heard many gals say they "don't cook, don't like to cook or don't have a clue what to cook" so I am going to  lend a hand.. I think it will be fun..I will be starting a virtual cooking class! Come on over ( the Link is on the sidebar on the right) maybe you'd like to start  following along, get some new ideas or just enjoy the read... You are welcome..  drop me a question or comment....But  put on an apron, you never know what you might spill, slop or get too close to in the kitchen.....

I am coming Back

Actually I am BACK...  I have been very very busy and away since January 9th. I was In Washington State visiting my daughter and sister.My travel plan was to also go to see my mother who lives in the Seattle area..  BUT  Old man Winter, Mother Nature and Jack Frost  interrupted my travel route and I ended up at my sisters  unable to continue my journey over the pass to my Mom's.
 Old Man winter decided to dump 12 inches of snow on us and Mother Nature poured on the rain when along came  Jack Frost who  happily joined and slept on the highways.. leaving me stranded for 14 days. Thanks to my sister and her husband  we battened down the hatches and enjoyed a lot of "sister time" beading, cooking , chatting and drinking wine.. All in all it was a great visit.  Upon returning home ( the first day the sun shined to melt snow, frozen streets I was off to my daughters again where again Jack Frost  decided to fill the roads with Ice and I was stranded again for 3 days...I was in such a hurry when  the sun came  out again  I left behind my camera with  the story the pictures will  tell of  my journey...) My daughter is mailing it to me today so I can post by weekend I hope.. In the mean time I have laundry to do and clothes to unpack. re group and enjoy my husband now that I am home safely...  I promise to get back to Blogging as soon as the camera arrives.. Enjoy your days and stay warm...   it is winter ya know in the Pacific Northwest!

How will you celebrate this year?   Are you making plans? What are your aspirations, dreams, goals.

I don't make resolutions because I  never  seem to  keep them... But I do have dreams, plans and ideas.. Starting with  travel... January is  the planning month..After spending time at the beach over Christmas  we may head out again to relive that experience,weather permitting. Not getting too far ahead  here.  It is set in February I am going to Australia to visit my daughter Nancy.. ( aka Self Care Girl). Really looking forward to seeing her and her husband for a couple weeks.
On the Domestic side....   planning to do some interior home painting.. well  needed and I already have the paint... I plan to read more and have started some great books on my Kindle fire..  I joined a Book club in October and  will enjoy meeting the members monthly. Charming chicks have plans for a possible Hot Springs trip this month as well.. again weather permitting..
