Went for a walk today at the cemetery (Photo essay here ) and saw this big old tree. There are a few around town like this - they have lost all their bark and are white in color. I thought it made for . . .

I love Christmas. I look forward to it all year. However, this year, I have not been in the mood to decorate- at all. We usually put our tree up the weekend before Thanksgiving. I knew it was coming up, . . .

I still feel gross today. I woke up with a horrid sore throat from sleeping (when I get sick, I always feel worse in the morning). Anyway, Nick had cleared out the corner where we wanted the tree. It . . .
