Folks around here were concerned about the lack of snow this winter, NOT!! We've had our share this month alone, it's a good thing too, nobody wants a dry summer and fires in our neck of the woods. Here's our "Grace Haven" covered in a blanket of Winter Wonderland!
I'm loving our snow and all the beauty that comes with it...we take many walks and winter drives here and watch for wildlife, there is plenty of it, even in the winter.

We've had more progress on the house this past Fall. Our deck is finally complete and we're loving it. Thanksgiving was warmer than normal, so my sister and family came to visit and we enjoyed sitting out there in the sunny afternoon!

My father-in-law recently passed away last month. It's been a difficult time for my husband and extended family. Many trips back and forth to Portland OR since this Fall. He was almost 90 years old and lived a full and wonderful life. We will miss him so much, but he is now free and happy in Heaven with his beloved wife, and resting in the arms of Jesus!!

| RIP James R. Colligan...we will all miss you! |
My little shop, "Attic Charm" continues to do well in Philipsburg. I'm enjoying my creativity and re-staging my loft area every month. I have new ideas up my sleeve, will start sewing this week.
The new year brings adventures, more home progress, travel, and Kayaking!! Pat and I enjoy kayaking and this summer we are hitting the lakes and streams around our area, and believe me we have plenty to explore! Hoping everyone has much to look forward too this year!!
