The Weather Outside Was Frightful

...and the fire was so delightful.  And since we had no place to go...it snowed, and snowed and snowed...and took out a transmission line and our electricity went with it! We were without about 17 hours.  

In the meantime...We ate crackers, cheese, and peanut butter.  Camped out on the couch layered with clothes and blankets... 

 ...I worked on a project that has been on my list forever...a Christmas Alphabet Book made from old Christmas cards that I collected over the years.  

'A' is for Angels 
With halos so bright
Whose carols were heard
On that First Christmas Night.

He was not so happy being layered
and covered with blankets!

Chuck painted, 

shoveled snow, 

and took photos.

A photo is worth ...

Everything!

Everyone needs a day off...

We are 'off list' today....

We have been 'on list' for six months and it was time!

We did what we wanted when we wanted....

Of course, some of what we did was 'on list', but we gave ourselves permission 'to do it or not to do it'!

We did put up our Christmas tree...it didn't fit in our new house so we put it outside at our entry.  I even put up a couple of wreathes.

We did go to the Tomorrow's Fitness to our 'Silver Sneakers' workout.

We did go to the grocery store.

We did watch 'Elementary' which we had recorded.

We did work in the yard. I planted pansies and Chuck cut a couple of trees and put deer repellent on our new leafless azaleas.

We didn't fix breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  We each did our own thing when we got ready to eat.  

It is amazing what you can get done when you don't have a list:)

Give us a break!!!

We needed a break from packing, moving, and unpacking for the last six months. And, we took one...in Ft. Morgan, Alabama, USA! We had never been there...now, we want to go back and back and back!

A picture is worth a thousand words....

Now don't you feel better?  We do!

Now back to the 'real' world!
