Look! We bought matching shoes at REI. Aren't they great looking? They're comfy and were on sale! Now I just need to find some time to walk again. Where to fit it in in my overly busy days?!

He is too cute. The raccoon I mean not Whit's hand. We all know that we really shouldn't feed them, being wildlife and all but how can you resist someone as cute as this? Not to mention their tiny human like hands! Ah well, the joys of critters!

It is a beautifully sunny morning and surprise! It snowed last night! Just barely a dusting but everything is all glittery and crystally and just so dang pretty! I am feeling very grateful this morning. Grateful for breathing, for friends, customers, family and the beauty of this day! Enjoy!

The sun has faded away now but this was how the mountains greeted me this morning! Beautiful! Snow in the foothills, the peaks draped in a thick layer of white and the sun just kissing the very tops of the mountains.

Family and friends said that I needed another photo on my blog; that the Andy Warhol did not do me justice whatever that is.So this image is colored pencil and now I must remember to not take my picture on the laptop from under my chin! HAHA! Now the second journey begins and that is how in the @#$%^ to get pictures from the camera to IPhoto to a blog or email. I will never stop learning this. I want a computer like the one on Star Trek; you just speak to it and it does ITS JOB!

I think I did it! Just do not ask me how. This is myself as an Andy Warhol painting. Too bad ol' Andy did not figure out how to eliminate a double chin! If this has truly worked I will be doing more exciting things in the future.

Well, for the frazzled life of me ( ! ) I can not get pictures taken with this #$%^@#%% laptop to go to my desktop so I can publish them here. I am completely and utterly frustrated! In any event this is my wonderful boy in school in a non Twilight shirt looking very handsome. It is the consolation prize for looking at my blog while I am still working things out. Wish me luck, Lois
