TWO BIRTHDAYS

We celebrated Scott's and Jason's birthday on the 9th. Jason turned 19 and Scott, well let's just say he is another realm now.

Jason celebrated by going snowboarding with his good friends Cameron and Zack. Scott celebrated by going to work.

I gave Scott a video camera for his birthday. We have always wanted one and have never been able to get one. He was so excited when he opened his present and saw that video camera. We finally have one now that the kids are all grown up. Thank heavens for grand children.

We met at California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. My parents and Christine and her family joined us there for a great dinner. After we came home and had dessert. Scott chose Pumpkin dessert and Jason chose the Peppermint Log. Some of the rest of the family joined us in helping to celebrate these two wonderful men. I am so lucky to have both of these great men in my life!

ANOTHER PICTURE FROM BEAUTIFUL HAWAII

THANKFUL FOR MY IRISH ANCESTORS

I never knew how much Irish ancestry I had until my wonderful Aunt Carol wrote this awesome history about my Dad's ancestors. There are still 8 castles partially standing over in Ireland that belong to my ancestors. Most of them (14 of them) fought in the Revolutionary War so that I could enjoy what I have today. There is also some tie to Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill.

St. Patrick's Day never used to mean much to me until I knew my ancestry. Now I take time to think about them a little bit more during that time. I am grateful to them for being so brave and courageous to leave so much of what they had to come to America and start new. I am somewhat what I am because of them. I can't wait to thank them in person some day.

THE TWO SIDES OF WINTER

Have you ever noticed that there are two sides to winter? There is the beautiful side. The sun shining on the snow on a crisp morning. The silent snow falling in the full moon. The quietness that a snowy night brings. I love so much about winter and the fun and beauty that it brings. But there is a sad and lonely side to winter. When we were coming back from the cabin the other night we rode through the desolate camp grounds. The picnic tables where barely poking their tops through the snow. Somehow it made me sad and lonely. I realized then that winter has two sides to it.
