Lentil Soup

Wednesday, 31 December 2008 9:42 A GMT-07
It is a tradition for our family to have Lentil Soup at the beginning of each new year. Ryan's mom is the one who started us on it. I'm not sure where it came from, but the story goes that by eating Lentil Soup at the turn of the year, you will hav

Elfster's Gift to Me

Tuesday, 30 December 2008 7:58 P GMT-07
You may recall my mention of being a winner in a 12 day of Christmas giveaway by Elfster.com, at the time I knew I had won but I didn't know what.  This week a package arrived and in it was a Christmas gift, all wrapped up and hand labeled t

Baked Apple French Toast Casserole

Friday, 26 December 2008 7:41 P GMT-07
We usually make a french toast casserole for breakfast Christmas morning.  I love them because you make it the day before and let it sit in the fridge until you're ready to bake it in the morning.  We've tried a few different recipe

Drats

Wednesday, 24 December 2008 1:25 P GMT-07
The problem with adding last minute gifts to your plan is when there are huge snowstorms both in your area as well as in other parts of the country, you risk not getting that item in time for Christmas.  Oh well.I had already gotten all of our s

What color Christmas lights are you?

You Are Gold Lights Your holidays are a time of abundance and riches. Even if you don't have a lot during the rest of the year, this is the time that you splurge a little. Your holidays traditions tend to be a bit old fashioned and digni

Because we haven't spent enough money on my car yet this month...

Monday, 22 December 2008 2:15 P GMT-07
We're just trying to share Holiday Cheer to every car repair shop in the Pacific NorthWest. For the record, I didn't think this was a good idea but Ryan kept saying it would be fine... And now we have an appointment to take my car into the

Yesterday's forecast said that we'd have freezing rain that would turn to normal rain in the afternoon today.  From then on out, we'd just have rain which would wash all our snow and ice away.Surprise, surprise, the forecast has

Winter Weather

Sunday, 21 December 2008 10:14 A GMT-07
We've been enjoying quite the storm here this weekend!  We got about 8 inches of snow yesterday!  It was very powdery so we didn't get to build snowforts, snowmen, or even snowballs.  But it's still beautiful!  Overnig

In the last 5 minutes, Rori has taken one of my delicate ornaments off the front room tree, licked the back porch light switch, and shown a bright LED flashlight into her eyes... all on purpose.Bedtime isn't for another two hours.

My suicidal husband didn't get enough winter driving yesterday.  Tonight he's covering someone's shift and is planning on going in around 6pm.  We're in the middle of the biggest storm this week.  I think he's

Thanks for the inspiration for the title, Mom. ;)Ryan and my van :) came home around 8pm tonight.  He arrived to find the house invaded by girls (we invited the neighbor girls over) watching a Holiday chick flick (Holiday Inn) in

So far, so good.

At about 2pm, Ryan and Greg pulled into the parking lot of the shop that fixed our car!  It only took them about 5 hours!  I am breathing a bit easier now. :)

Holding My Breath

Friday, 19 December 2008 9:11 A GMT-07
All day today.  Ryan and his friend/co-worker are venturing out into the gorge, braving snowstorms, iced roads, and huge wind gusts to get my car for me.  We weighed our options and there really wasn't anything better.  This weeken

Non Snow Day

Thursday, 18 December 2008 10:36 A GMT-07
Yesterday was a snow day, so Acadia stayed home from school.  It really was forecasted to be a nasty storm, but it turns out, it was pretty unnecessary; there was a little snow at first, but it never accumulated to much and soon rain washed it a

When we were in La Grande, the shop estimated that our car would be ready by Friday.  Then came the storms; Portland froze over while we were in Idaho and just had another storm come through today (the transmission was being shipped to Portland

Today is a snow day.  We were supposed to get a real nasty storm, and we still might, but for now, it's nice and small.  We got a little snow and now it's raining.  Freezing rain had been forecasted and it could still happen, b

Let's Say Thanks

Wednesday, 17 December 2008 11:13 A GMT-07
As we are fortunate to be safely home with our loved ones, enjoying peace and safety and freedoms that we most certainly take for granted, I think it is little to ask of us to send just one little note of thanks.  And for free!  Thank you t

Part One: Getting There

Tuesday, 16 December 2008 1:09 P GMT-07
This part of our weekend ended up being far more eventful than we planned.  Not quite half way to our destination, our transmission died.  We were heading up a mountain, so after Ryan pulled over to the shoulder, he let the car roll down th
