Missing the Snow...

* My Mamma and Me in the Oregon Snow 3 years ago*

I think I am a happier person in the snow. I lived in Bozeman MT for about a year and a half, and I learned to drive in the snow when I was 16, and I love the snow... something about it quiets the world. Puts a blanket on the noise and busyiness I so dislike. I wish I wish I lived back in Montana where it snows... I miss it so. I wish I could wake up on Christmas morning to the snow, build a snowman with my husband, and someday with my children, I wish I could cozy up to a warm fire on a snowy evening with a great book and a cup of hot cocoa.

Cheers to my readers who live in the snow, I shall live through your photos when you post them, and may I say, please, enjoy it. You have no idea how blessed you really are.

like a lovely cup of tea.

#2: Friends, this time of year is a wonderful

time to have friends over and enjoy going

to coffee on a cold evening with a friend.

#3 Fabric Stores/ Fabric: I was in Joanne's yesterday

picking out the fabric for the Christmas gifts I'm making

this year and it really excited me!

#4: The fact that Christmas is just around the corner

if you know me well, or want to know me better, you'll

know/learn that I absolutly am CRAZY about Christmas,

Morgan, I totally LOVE that you're putting your tree up

next week... that's just lovely. :)

#5: Dresses, with boots, tights and a cute coat, what

would be more fall like!?

#6: House Slippers: I love them so much, i'll give you a

cute example: Tonight I was getting dinner ready and my husband

walked in and demanded I take off my shoes, he put my slippers

down and told me he didn't want my feet to get cold :)

He knows how much I love them, what a wonderful husband I have!

it's tweed, rail road(ish) and I love it, I'm not usually a hat

person, but I'm trying, thanks to Amy Beth who wears hats

often, and beautifully.

#11 Boots: I SO long for a cute pair of flat boots

Post your own love list for November! I would LOVE to see what everyone favors in this lovely fall month!

As disapointed as I am...

I had a GREAT day! Thank you Lord for Fall!

I did my part to vote for who I thought would be the better of the two presidential canidates, and to my dismay, that man did not win, but alas... God has a plan! Do not fear! I feel like being concerned, but I know better!
Hope you all are recovering from Election nicely.
