my sister sent me this card because it looks just like my homepage picture!
Red gave me an early Christmas gift. I love Coca-Cola products and have a ton Coke decor in my kitchen! He painted this and gave it to me this weekend, excited for me to have it!!! I love it; he is a great artist.
...but the fire is so delightful and as long as you love me so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.... Our first snowfall of the year turned into my first snow day from work for the school year!! Yippie!! That automated message from my school is always wonderful! Everyone drive safely & enjoy!
A rainbow that Red caputred this morning and sent to my phone! What a great way to start the day!
I love this time of night...and even though there were streetlights that mimiked the moon, big companies, cars, and technology everywhere I still wanted to catch the evening!

As part of our Thanksgiving week we made one of my favorite dishes ~ stuffing!! We went to Adams (a local farmers market) and bought some homemade stuffing with their "special ingredients." We made some sausage for breakfast with waffles and then used the rest for our stuffing!
unfortunately these are all taken with my cell phone!!! But, oh how I love how I can catch awesome skywatch pictures when I don't have my camera on me!!! How great technology is for us
I thought this was really beautiful... the sun looks like a giant white fireball!
another fireball shot, but that tiny white circle is interesting to me at the top middle. Is that the moon? 
Since I was taking cell pictures for this skywatch, and I was happy over technology. I figured I'd add this one... I was at my 2nd job at the mall. I teach and then go to Hollister to work a couple nights a week. I was working on Tuesday. As it is a store dedicated to California they have a live feed from Huntington beach. The sunset there was beautiful, and I snapped a quick pic with my cell wishing I was on the other coast =) 
this is the beautiful sky on Saturday November 7th, Red's birthday. 
The fuel trail of the plane looks like it's shooting the misty sun.
Such beauty in the afternoon sky.
"If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand."
on these chilly late autumn days, I'm reminiscent of the vacation Red and I took this summer to the golden state of warmth and beauty.
A year ago tomorrow I received my much anticipated package from amazon.com. The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I had stumbled across Twilight flare on facebook, and thought to myself what could all this hype be over? 
" 'Tis the night--the night 
How sweet our little friends are
I saw this on the road and took some pictures with my cell phone =)
you can sort of see the rainy/snow mix coming down through the red tree.
I can't believe we're getting snow already!!!!

As I open my mailbox after a long day of work and see a personalized letter with my dad's handwriting I smile. I read on one side my dad's note to me, and on the other a scripture... often I am moved.
Today, I was putting the card I received into the box where I store all of the letters dad has written me. I got a pull from inside somewhere to take a picture of my box and write a blog about these letters. So, I took some photos. They were great, but not enough. I decided I wanted to count the letters to see how many have been written (204) so far. As I was counting I got to the bottom of the small top box and found the very first letter. I flipped over the envelope curious of the date. It was
