Passport to Winter

has it really been a whole week?

I have had a crazy busy week with work and holiday stuff.

Anywayzzzzz, last week I decided to clean out the junk drawer in my closet room.

(btw I don't know why this post is centered but I am going with it.)

I thought I would share a recently recovered/discovered junk item from my clean out in my next few posts.

First up:

I found our passport photos from a few years ago. Apparently they mail the pictures back to you along with your passport.

I really like my hair that long. I chopped it off last December but I am growing it out again. When I am really old I plan on having waist length hair and wearing it in a big ol bun right on the top of my head. My great-grandmother Janie Moore wore her hair like that. She rocked it. I need to find a picture of her hair. Great grannies these days all seem to have short hair. Not my style.

I also found Chase's passport pic. Chase is also known as El Rey. That means "the King" in Espanol. That is what you call a kid who is an only child (but not to their face). His other Spanish nickname is cacahaute (said CA ca watt A) which means "peanut"-- because he is my little baby.

Just realized that he is exactly half my age. I am 42 and he is 21 so not exactly a baby. PS: I will spare you Matt's ~~mugshot~~ passport photo.

***********************************************

In other news, holy crap! We have a TON of snow. Here is the BREAKING NEWS of the day. Chase went snowshoeing with me this morning. He never wants to go with me. Matt had to work today so I was glad to have someone along to experience the beauty with me. YAY Chase!

In addition to two of our dogs, we took my brother's malamute Bear.

"hey chase, get out of my way"

"come on mom. hurry it up."

It was so peaceful. Can you believe this is right out my door? Feeling lucky today. Ask me again in May (when it will still be snowing). I am sure my tune will change by then : )

I don't think Chase was hating plowing the driveway. What do you think?

PS: Is anyone watching the Dew Tour right now? It is in my town. Turn it on and you can see how much snow we are getting.

Cheerio!

Krista said...: Yeah, I always love the snow this time of year, but come December 26th, it can all go away. It never listens to my requests and doesn't leave until March.; 10:23 AM
Lisa said...: We have a ton of snow here too. It was the first storm of the season, so at least that's out of the way. Maybe it will be the last and the rest of the winter will be easy breezy. Happy New Year to you Lori! : ); 11:26 PM
