links

I'm so grateful for people who can express themselves clearly and without excessive sentimentality. I found a couple of great ones. One by Lars Walker on brandywine.net (click here to view), and the other by Andree Seu from World Magazine, but also found through a link on brandywine, on the certainty we are promised. (click here to see the article) Take a look at both of the, you won't be disappointed.

Merry Christmas

May your day be merry and bright, with only a taste of fruit
soup.

house (camera) cleaning

Dad has let me pull some pictures from his camera. thought you might like to see some of these.

Remember way back in October when it was "too hot to sleep on the bed"?











but never too hot for white socks and black shoes... (she's never going to let me near the computer again :-)

I've looked at lakes from both sides now

I flew out of Minneapolis a little after 9:00 yesterday, and it was a really clear cold day. I think perhaps the first time I've seen all of Minnesota so clearly in the winter and the daylight. You know how we used to look at clouds and try to find the shapes, well looking down at frozen lakes and picking out shapes is way more fun. The shapes are much more distinct than clouds, and when they are frozen they are really well defined by the snow. I saw dinosours, birds, lots of colons and stomachs, and even a Dilbert reading a book coming out of a genie bottle. i did try to get pictures of some of these, but of course while I'd had the insight to put my camera into my carry on bag, I put the extra batteries in my checked luggage, and my camera just would not co-operate. Have you ever had the fun of seeing frozen lakes from an airplane? What shapes have you seen?
