    Brrrrr! I’ve been in wind chill. No thanks. I’ll take 4 inches of sun­shine any day.

    Ah, such happy mem­o­ries of when we lived at Ft. Riley.…

    We never had snow that bad, but we had dust storms that left inches of orange dust inside the house!~

    But I always reminded myself:
    At least you’re not liv­ing in a hole in the ground under your over­turned Con­estoga wagon while wait­ing to fin­ish build­ing your sod house.….

    I’m get­ting cold just think­ing about the wind.

    That is a very cute dog­gie. I’ve only seen line draw­ings of her in the past.

    Stay warm.

    Oh, my, that is such an expres­sive look on Clemmie’s face — almost a Look at that. Can’t believe you man­aged to catch it so perfectly.

    I’d like to feel all sad and sorry, but there is some­thing just grand about being snowed in, as long as the elec­tric­ity stays on and you’re loaded up with food (which we are). And in this case, we’ve also got Christ­mas books, games and good­ies to dive into and we’re (oh dear) just stuck inside all­lll day. (Insert emoti­con of big, stu­pid, sausage-eating grin)

    Sort of looked to me like, “Are you out of your flip­pin’ minds? Close the darn door!” (She’s a good dog, so I don’t think she ever says any­thing stronger than ‘darn.’)

    I keep com­ing back to your blog so I can look at the pic­tures. What a great house you must have. What a great area to live in.

    We loved our time at Riley! (In spite of Desert Storm) We lived in an old lime­stone house built in the 1880’s. I loved every square inch of it. We had to make a trip there in Octo­ber and it was being ren­o­vated, so we were able to go in and walk around. Gosh it was a good life there.

    I am so with you, Grace. There is some­thing cozy about being inside and hav­ing good food and read­ing great books while there is a win­ter won­der­land out­side. (I just don’t like the thought of hav­ing to shovel; that is not fun.) I hope you had a won­der­ful Christmas.

    By the way, I for­got to tell you in my pre­vi­ous com­ment that you also influ­enced me a bit in terms of the Psalms I have mem­o­rized. A while back I saw your quote from Psalm 63 at the top of your blog, and I loved it so much that I decided to mem­o­rize the entire Psalm.

    I hope you have a won­der­ful New Year and that you expe­ri­ence a renewed sense of hope. (And I say this know­ing that expe­ri­enc­ing a sense of hope and peace is def­i­nitely hard dur­ing the dif­fi­cult times.)

    I agree, I like snow out­side and me inside! And, then to have it go away quickly!

    Christ is Born!
