I kind of mean that literally, because it's hard for me to really enjoy this very Spring-like weather which seems way too early for me and I keep thinking about a long hot summer looming in the not-too-distant future. Oh boy, that sounds so bad, doesn't it -- like I'm being so selfish. Well, I'd better just get over that and accept whatever is meant to happen. I am so glad you didn't hurt yourself when you fell. I know exactly what you are talking about with the laughter and giggles that make you feel all weak.

I am definitely looking forward to the end of tuition payments. Both our girls went to a Christian school through high school and I have one in college and our oldest has supported herself (across country) since she was 18)Sorry to hear about your neighbor. Your snow is pretty, and I am amazed at how ya'll live and work through all of that.

It's a relief when we finally make that last tuition payment isn't it? We are almost finished too;) We got a bonus (ha!) when our daughter decided to take her 5th year of Accounting.. <br /><br />Your snow pics are amazing. We've had an unseasonably warm and sunny January here in Seattle and almost no snow. We usually get a few storms to give us a snow back and skiing in the local mountains. Lots of people at the resorts are out of work and we are concerned about the upcoming summer and lack of snow pack. Anyway, seems like it's usually one extreme or the other!<br /><br />Stay warm! xxleslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280782743483018226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-48511277981505047612014-01-26T10:37:51.958-06:002014-01-26T10:37:51.958-06:00That's hilarious about you falling in the snow...That's hilarious about you falling in the snow-glad you didn't get hurt!

I am not a cold weather gal so I could visit, but wouldn't want to live in snow. Our son in Colorado is trying to move to another college within the state where it is just a bit warmer than where he is now. He was also ready for high school to be over and now he is on his own and enjoying this new phase of his life. It's a good feeling knowing that you were able to put your kids through college and that they are all successful adults. Good luck to your daughter with her teaching assignment. Shakespear! The bain of my 10th graders existence. HA! Have a good weekend.
