Sledding at Crescent Lake

Cherie's Favorite Things

Ok I know I am no Oprah Winfrey, but I have a new favorite thing and since its free I am going to give one to you.

http://www.pandora.com/

I may be the last person in the world who has discovered Pandora but here it is. Those of you that have been hiding under the rock with me, check out this wonderful website. You put in a song or an artist that you like and Pandora magically plays you lots of other songs that you love.

Happy New Year

Well its New Years Eve and my resolution is to commit to blogging more than I did last year! So my offering today is to invite you to see all the pictures I finally uploaded (I have been safely saving them in my camera since last fall .. smart huh?)




Lets start with the super buttery sweet Christmas cookies Jessamyn made last week .. mmm

Cashew Shells

Have you ever wondered what a cashew shell looks like? Well I never have, not until a friend recently mentioned the very idea. So in my research I came to discover that the cashew is not a nut at all but a seed, the seed of the cahsew apple or better known in Central America as "marañón"

Der da der

Have you thought the universe was trying to give you a sign? I often wonder if something happens over and over, or if I see something over and over I wonder what am I supposed to learn from that.

For the past month or two I have noticed license plates on other cars sending me a little message. Der? It seems I see at least 2 or 3 a week telling me "DER". So what am I supposed to take from this?

Der Cherie don't you get it? .... der.

From Jimmy: Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas

Well its that time again... a nice little Christmas break. Jessamyn did a wonderful job of making our home feel all Christmasy






Angels Explained by Children


I only know the names of two angels. Hark and Harold.
Gregory, 5

Everybody's got it all wrong. Angels don't wear halos anymore. I forget why, but scientists are working on it.
Olive, 9

It's not easy to become an Angel! First, you die. Then you go to heaven, and then there's still the flight training to go through. And then you got to agree to wear those angel clothes.
Matthew, 9

Angels work for God and watch over kids when God has to go do something else.
Mitchell, 7

My Guardian Angel helps me with math, but he's not much good for science.
Henry, 8

Angels don't eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows!!!
Jack, 6

Angels talk all the way while they're flying you up to heaven. The main subject is where you went wrong before you got dead.
Daniel, 9

When an Angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts to ten. And when he lets out his breath, somewhere there's a tornado.
Reagan, 10

Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy. If you lose a tooth, an Angel comes in through your window and leaves money under your pillow. Then when it gets cold, Angels go north for the winter.
Sara, 6

Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his son, who's a very good carpenter.
Jared, 8

All Angels are girls because they gotta wear dresses and boys didn't go for it.
Antonio, 9

My Angel is my grandma who died last year. She got a big head start on helping me while she was still down here on earth.
Katelynn, 9
