throw it out

Saw this on Foxnews this morning and bob and I decided we would...so OK we are not counting the things , but we each just grabbed a drawer and sorted it out, pitching the unimportant.

AHHHHHHHH I feel so good! We're gonna keep this going, and we will tackle the attic and the garage attic this year-For instance, I will be throwing out the little kitchen set we bought sarah when she was 2.
and...the christmas puppets- that were immense fun 5 years ago,
(Chris's impersonation of Lori in a poncho- priceless ) but have not been used since. so kids listen up....if you want this stuff come claim it now!


Also on my list scaling down the Christmas decor, I no longer have the stamina,room, or will to accomodate all of it. Goodbye clutter!

Christmas

Merry CHRISTmaus!

Let it snow!

It's December...It's Michigan...it's time!!!


Disclaimer: I don't like to drive in it or shovel it, but it's so pretty.

Awesome! Pop-Up Hallelujah Chorus at Macy

AMEN!
When I was a freshman in high school...I was drafted into the chior. They pulled kids randomly out of study halls to encourage them to join vocal, choral, glee whatever. I remember The director saying are you an alto or soprano? "I can sing anything", I replied. (he smirked, thinking I was arrogant; I was merely naive...couldn't everybody sing high or low?) He tested me and a started to laugh...you're right! Would you like to be in the chior? "sure." I was in chior from then on and it was the highlight of my high school experience. When I was a senior, someone told my Dad that it was an honor to be in the Senior Choir in any grade, but to be in it from a freshman was special. I never had known that. The Halleluia chorus was one of the first pieces I learned, and one of my favorites.

Thankful for Our Troops
