Hi Chris Glad you and your family are having a nice day and enjoyed shopping. I also went to dollar tree and found some nice items too I know your niece will love her birthday gifts, I enjoyed seeing your special wooden decoration, It's very sweet and special and some thing to treasure for sure. Love your nature photos as always great photos of the birds and our friend Mr. Nut Thanks for all my nice hugs today Have a good evening Enjoy your movie Hugs to everyone-Stephanie
Hi Chris and Holly So glad that you had such a wonderful shopping trip. John and I pretty much stayed in the house today and watched the storm. It has finally stopped snowing but the wind is still blowing tonight. I don't know when it will quit. We were very fortunate and didn't lose electric at all with this storm. With the wind blowing like it was, that is a miracle!! Mya and Allie hated going outside today and were out and back in in record time. We ended up with about four inches of snow. It is still really cold out and in the single digits with the wind chill factor. The regular temp is still 18 degrees. BURRRRRR!! John and I are going to have to leave for church early tomorrow morning so John can shovel the sidewalks and salt everything so no one falls. The pizza sounds good. WE haven't had pizza for a while so maybe that is a meal we can have this upcoming week. I love making homemade pizza. It is so much better than what you buy although Walmart has a great rising crust pizza that we both like and it isn't expensive at all. The wood decoration is very pretty. It is something you two can cherish for a long time. Also the nature photos are so cute. I love seeing all the wildlife that you have coming into your yard. It won't be long before garden cat makes an appearance. Mr. Nut Squirrel is sure chubby since his donut eating. He is so adorable. I can't wait for Chippy to come out of his borough so we can watch him scamper around the yard. Have a great Sunday and I hope you and Holly enjoy your movie this evening. Hugs--John Debbie Mya and Allie
