I can't say I'm sorry to see that Jan. is well into it's second half. this week i am keeping busy with the first stages of preparation getting ready for Easter and a visit from two of my favorite people in the whole world. I have been clearing out all the bed rooms and preparing them for new floors. next week i will be putting the house somewhat back together. and redoing the walls in the computer room they need a lot of work. i will be disabling my Internet for a few days ( part of clearing the room. SO hope to have lots of great pics when i return. Hope thechurchinthegrass was a success last night

I snapped this photo of the neighbor and her special needs daughter waiting for the school bus last week before it got really-really cold out this is the third NO SCHOOL. day in a row. last night when i went to bed we were up to 17 inches of snow and 39 yes you heard me right 39 below. lucky for me i have plenty to do right here in my cozy abode.

Here in Iowa we are in the middle of winter and what a winter it is turning out to be. There is absolutely no where left to put the snow. i would love to make my escape. but in all fairness to my honey lamb, i will stay home and make cookies.

This is a snapshot of the Fairbanks clan taken around the mid fifty's. i confiscated it from my moms photo album for many reasons the biggest one being it wasn't an acid free album. so now i have decided to identify each and every Fairbanks present in the photo. how that for a new years challenge? my resources are becoming more limited by the day so am making it a priority wish me luck. if any one recognizes yourself that would be helpful:)
