Snot

We are in snowy Washington for the Christmas holidays and I am a snot-machine. To quote Melly, "I am awash in snot." How can so much snot come out of one person? I've been steaming my head over a pot of boiling water with vinegar and lavendar about three times a day and I think it's working. Today I'm less snotty and more stuffy. My head feels like a big balloon.

Currently there is 4 feet of snow on the ground and it's been snowing since I got up. Yippee!! It's so pretty. It looks like a winter holiday village out there. I'm concerned about the birds, though. Why are they out? Aren't they cold? Where do they go when it snows? Clearly I didn't pay much attention to my science classes. I bet all of you know where snot comes from and where the birds go when it snows.

Baby Crow is moving around a lot these days. Sometimes it wakes me up at night. Kev has now felt the little one move several times.....kind of makes it more real for us.

Well, that's all for now. Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!

Belly

Okay, okay you guys. Here's my belly. And, no I'm not dressed up like a supreme court justice for the fun of it. This picture was taken on my way to a DSC Christmas performance. And the other was taken on my birthday. I love my new coat!

Love This One!

"Here With Us"
by Joy Williams

It's still a mystery to me
That the hands of God could be so small,
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measured the sky

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King,
You're here with usYou're here with us

It's still a mystery to me, oh,
How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time
How His ears have heard an angel's symphony,
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
Here with us
You're here with us

Jesus the Christ, born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save, to save the souls of man

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
You're here with us
You're here with us
