Oh how interesting, Kesler, and win or lose

1 She looked me up and down, said I looked "slight", and then proceeded to give me a Christmas orange.

2 Kesler is learning to identify his facial parts. He looks says, two, then points one at a time to each eye and says two eyes. Big milestone for our guy. He's turning six soon too!

3 My knitting is slow and steady. Will I win the race and have it finished on time?

early winter, gkids, Sunday dinner, and opportunity is knocking

1 The winds and snow came early this year. Really early. The arctic flow came down hard on us. The snow accumulated and became icy faster than anyone expected.  And then, after days of cold and wind and rain, the sun came back this afternoon and melted away bits of snow. I think winter is going to retreat.
1a The grandkidlets loved being in the hot tub with snow and icicles. Yup, there's nothing quite like snow and hot water! Kesler really didn't want his bare feet to touch the snow but wanted 'swimming' more. That kid is fast!!! Izzy spent her time underwater.

2 We had 11 for dinner last night,  our family and our Chinese friends came for Sunday dinner.  It was kinda like a trial run for Christmas. Mr P cooked roast beast and I did the veggies and for dessert, gluten free brownies and ice cream smothered in chocolate sauce.

3Our youngest son has the opportunity to go to Dubai for FREE for 10 days at Christmas break. It is the opportunity of a lifetime. Will he take it?

Pathways

Everyone has their own path.
Walk yours with integrity and wish all others peace on their journey.
When your paths merge rejoice for their presence in your life.
When the paths are separated, return to the wholeness of yourself.
Give thanks for the footprints left on your soul, and embrace the time to journey on your own.

a good day, tuckered out, and is it bedtime yet?

1 We share a few good laughs, fix some problems and just generally have a good day together.

2 Oh gosh, I'm tired.

3 I'm grateful for my big bed with flannel sheets, a warm blanket and lots and lots of pillows. Why am I still awake? Oh, right. It's only 7pm.

pillow, picture this, and sounds

1 Making a feather pillow with leftover feathers from a bed pillow.  Turns out that cat + wind = chaos, and a lot of hilarity. Half the feathers ended up in the forest and half made just one pillow!

2 What autumn looked like today: A BIG sweater, scarf, long pants and hot coffee. Oh and pumpkin, lots and lots of pumpkin spice!

3 The sounds of wind, rain, and wind chimes. Kitty nibbling on her dry food. The clock ticking. A quiet house.

wake me up, big hug, ouch

1 Waking up after a night of dreaming that I keep waking up. What's real here?

2 Coming back after a hiatus of days off and getting a hug with meaning! Thanks Sam for the welcome back hug.

3 Green grass and excitement plus chair in the wrong place equals stubbed baby toe.

stormy weather, away again, and easy peasy

1 The morning started with a bright red sunrise which today was a great indication of what was to come. Overcast skies, blowing winds and now rain. The trees and flowers soak it up, readying for the next transition to winter.

2 Time goes slow and fast at the same time doesn't it? Mr P has had almost a year of time off of work. Oh he did odd  jobs here and there but truth be told the man was on vacation. He's up north now and on the 14/7 rotation again. But this time it's a much better fit. He's on his brother's crew and contemplating a career change from electrical to carpentry. I guess we will see where this goes soon enough.

3 Today, I deleted over 3000 fb friends. I had built up my friends list for my network marketing business. Friends technically but in reality they were business prospects not friends. I thought that I'd want to continue my posts and interactions with them but that waned pretty quickly. I wondered if I really needed validation from strangers and my answer was no. Now my friends list is people who I know in real life and who I am genuinely interested in. That was easy.
