A warm fuzzy sort of day

Is there any kid who hasn't made a popsicle stick reindeer ornament? And I'm the kind of mom who still hangs these on her tree, even though the kids are now 19, 17, 15 and 12-going-on-18!

Well, freezing rain made the roads all but impassable in the 'burgh today, with authorities asking drivers to stay off the roads unless it was absolutely necessary. Our Sunday meetings were cancelled, so I did NOT miss the first meeting in the new building after all.
Got the cowboy boot in there--a nod (or is that a kick in the pants) for the horse-lovers in the family. Feeling a bit better today--happy to report! Coughing a bit less, which is a mercy. So I made a big pot of chicken soup and two loaves of homemade bread. Yum!

And here is a bit of a nod to my Irish heritage--purchased this Claddagh in Ireland a few years ago. The musical instrument ornaments were from a co-worker back in my single days...um, that would be 22 years ago! I'd love to say that the shoes belong to my firstborn, but not so. I bought them at a wonderful second-hand shop in Ann Arbor, MI on Thanksgiving weekend, when two of my sweet sisters-in-law took me on a little outing.
