Good Luck, Nate!

The stepson of one of our administrative secretaries, Nate Roberts, is participating in the Freestyle Olympics on Sunday.

The opening ceremonies tonight were absolutely amazing. My favorite was an acrobat who performed an aerial ballet over a prairie to Joni Mitchell's song, "Both Sides Now." I had to download the remastered version to my IPOD.

I was amazed at the imagination and creativity of the opening ceremonies.

6:40 a.m.

I was surprised when I looked out the window this morning to see the beautiful snow. When I returned from the gym, I took my camera and tripod out on the deck. It was still very dark. Time always passes so quickly when I'm with my camera.

 I didn't like the color in this photo, so I changed it to black and white.

 Looking out from the window seat in the living room this morning. The geraniums are still growing strong.

Daily Bread

Our  food storage arrived yesterday.  Hard to believe that just a few boxes of freeze dried food will sustain us two meals a day for six months! And it has a 25 year shelf life (as long as we don't open the packages.)

Mom's Birthday

My mother's birthday was yesterday, but she had other plans, so Mike and I took her to Maddox tonight for dinner. She's 85.

Solitare

It's been a bad year for illness. I've had the flu four times this winter. But I still won at solitare.

Bootcamp

I sent for a video to exercise to - something different to try if I can't make it to the gym. The next step is getting it out of the box:)

Do "real" people look like this??

To Dye For

A morning visit to my neighbor, Lynda, who has a hair salon in her home. I've gone to her for over 20 years! On the walk over, I saw raindrops on a bush.
