Sun before the storm

This morning the sun was shining even though it was only 15 degrees out.  So I decided to show you some pictures inside the house.  Then the sun quickly went back behind the clouds.  We are getting a winter storm tonight.  You all know how much I love snow.....as long as we have power.  But I also feel bad that I love it so when my husband has a long drive to work each way in the bad weather.

The week before Christmas and before I left for Colorado, I mentioned about my son having a rough week.  Since he lost all his belongings we had to help furnish his apartment.  We gave him our denim sofa.  He doesn't have a bed but I thought he could sleep on the couch.  Better than sleeping on the floor like he was.  We have had this love seat downstairs for quite awhile.  So, upstairs came the love seat.  I really like it back upstairs.  I have the cushion turned over right now.  I throw a quilt over it for when Piper sleeps on it.  Sure wish I could have a rug in this spot, but my Yorkie thinks rugs are potty pads...sound familiar Brenda.  I still like the bench that I got for $20 for the sofa table.  It was marked down.  I actually carried it myself and put it in the little green bug.  It fit somehow.  I moved the blue table that was there to the other side.    I like it there as well.

Yep, the tree is still up and their are presents undelivered.  Due to illness we haven't had our exchange with my son and his girls.

Check out how different the same paint looks in this picture and the one above.  I took this picture of the cabinet to see if Laurie and I have the same one.  I always put the Christmas card photos on this.  Not many this year.  Since my address book is MIA, we didn't get as many cards.

 

 

My little blue shelf always looks weird if I take a picture of the whole thing.  I went around the house and took a few things down that were Christmasy but left all the ones that looked like winter.  See this adorable snowman in the ice cream container.  It was part of a swap I was in with Jenny.  I will post more of those pictures soon.

This other snowman by the deer is from Polly's store.  It was funny, when I was their with my girlfriends (he he Sue) I kept picking it up and deciding that I didn't need it.  It was funny when one of my friends said they kept seeing this snowman in different places.  That was it, it was such a funny thing that I knew buying it would preserve that memory.  They didn't know that I kept putting it down.

 

  My little heater and my wagon.  A woodland bear toting some forest animals hopped on board for a ride.  (It was a bear from my dear cousin)  Did you know that Boyd's bears have closed their factory doors.  There are so many on the market that they can be purchased for very little)  Everyone that I bought I had a reason for liked it. 

 

 

I ventured out today.  I thought it would give me a boost.  I hadn't been out of the house for 7 days.  We needed dog food.  Poor Hubby has been waiting on me night and day.  Luckily he got some groceries since I haven't been up to it.  I was out last Tuesday when I went to Urgent Care and got a few things at CVS waiting on my meds.  Today, I thought I would go to Aldi's for a few things.  After the pet store, I was out of steam and just came home.  My energy level is at zero.  I fell like a nap right now.  I got up early today......it was 10 a.m.  I had been sleeping til 11.  Isn't that crazy.

 

I got the Country Living magazine today.  It is so small.......but what's inside is the best.  Article on doll houses and tiny houses.  Wahoo......Also on the back page is a picture that you can order in a pain by number kit.  And it's a retro trailer.......yippee.  I noticed last month there was one that I was tempted to get as well.

OKAY, signing off..............more down the road.
