stubbed toes and mud pies

a little snow last night and this morning, the sun is coming out now so i'll go out and shovel while it is early enough to get the sun to melt off what is left.

Mom is using her new mixer to make cookies and since i didn't hear any cursing or the smoke detector going off it has been ok. i did ask a few minutes ago if it was working ok and she said it was, but i could tell when we took it out of the box it wasn't built the same as the previous mixer so i'm not sure how long this one will last. i give it three years but i hope the engineers did better than that.

fresh air, sunshine and movement up next...

Mom's expression from a few moments ago that made us both laugh, "...sew my head off." talking about how glad she was to be done with the lap quilts she was making for the holiday season.
