Yesterday was cold and icy in the morning. I ran outside in my jammies and slippers to capture the icy feathers that appeared on our car and truck in the night. I LOVE those patterns SO much! They never form in those shapes again. The sun was out and melting all of the ice. Had to capture them quickly!
Here is my Friday offering to you.
That store, what we always called the "little store" was where I would walk my baby brother and sister to to get candy, soda, and milk. I would walk with their tiny hand in mine, crossing streets cautiously together, excitedly choosing candy to bring home. Then I would carry their tiny body home on my back, they would be too tired to walk all the way home. I did this with such joy. I was in high school, sister was in elementary school by then, but brother was still a toddler. I did not go out with friends, or attend school dances, I played with them. I would babysit them and watch these amazing little people grow up. Now my Sister is in College, she wants to be a fashion writer for Vogue, my brother is in his last year of high school and wants to be a musician, he plays guitar and writes songs. I am SO proud of them, I feel so fortunate that I had the chance to hold those tiny hands in mine. To be a part of who they have become.

I have been under the weather, stupid cold! So I decided to post a few pictures I took the same day I walked on the bridge. I am hoping my fever that i have had for 3 days now will miraculously go away by tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a holiday on my husbands side of the family, it is called Thanksmas. Husbands grandparents move to Arizona and winter there, so they miss the holidays. His family is so large that they really do ALL get together. Husbands mom is one of 5 kids, all 5 kids will be there along with their kids and their grandkids. We give modest gifts, like homemade banana bread, cookies, and crafts. I usually make soap but have not had time to make it, so I mounted some of my photos on cards making a small package of stationary. We have been celebrating Thanksmas for at least 8 years, maybe more. One of husbands cousins is about 7 years old and asked his dad how other peoples families celebrate Thanksmas. CUTE! It is just a time we all get together and talk loud and laugh louder. Hope I feel better *crosses fingers*

Another Hodge podge of photo's from yesterday's walk. It was a bit windy and chilly. I got attacked by yet another orange cat wanting to be loved. Who am I to say no to kitties that want to purr and be scratched under soft chins. I am unsure of a walk today, it is supposed to be nasty. Maybe : )
