the past week

This past week has been a whirlwind of weather changes.

-

Friday night we had Bethany and Stephen come over for burgers.

-

it was in the 60's, so we had a fire in the backyard!

-

strawberries have been so good lately, i got some and made homemade whipped cream.

OH MY GOSH!

*new bowl i got on sale for $28, since cam broke my fav. one
the berries

the kitchenaid makes a mean cream.

i added 1T sugar and some vanilla!

closing a university? proposterous.

at 0900 it was kind of snowing.

me running errands

yikes it's getting worse while driving.

also mad face b/c they called and canceled my haircut... losers, i mean what do they know, so what if all the schools are closed all over the state, look outside, it's barely spitting.

but the roads are FINE.

they call from the eye dr's office and say they want to cancel those appts, and i get sad, so they say, okay make it in by noon, so we HUSTLE!!!!
