how are you, dear friends? winter is sometimes so difficult. i miss spring and summer so much......just the sunshine and the chance to walk outside more. it's very cold here and it snowed a little as well. i have been looking for work but have not found anything yet. i would love to find a job in a preschool or working with children somehow. children make me so happy; just to be with them is wonderful! i hope your week is going well. i would love to hear from anyone.....mike and i have been spending so much time at home lately. he is looking for a job as well. it is very difficult to not get discouraged because jobs are so hard to find. i know many people are in the same situation, so that makes it a little easier to cope with this, but i hope we can find something soon. have a good day......thank you for visiting my blog. i appreciate those who do......

Wonderful new books!!

i love books and going to book stores, libraries and amazon. these are really wonderful books that I wanted to share with you. would love to hear of books you like, too!

Tomorrow is Christmas!

tomorrow is christmas. we are at my mom's in washington and it's been so wonderful to spend all this time with her. she is 85 and is a really fun person. my husband mike and i always have such a special time being with her. i hope you will all have a wonderful christmas and be able to be with family or friends.
