Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow!!!

Snow and lots of it! We got anywhere from 20" to 24" of snow in a 24 hour period. However, there was so much wind with this storm it was hard to judge because of all the snow drifts. Of course, Jason and I are being blamed...."it never snowed like this before you moved back..."


I had to throw this picture in because of Joplyn....if you look on the steps, she is sitting there. Which is as far outside as she went....Little Miss Priss!

Winter Wonderland! Good timing for Christmas


Jason and I took a walk with Jersey, the next few pictures are of our journey








Oldman's Creek










Jersey is the opposite of Joplyn and she adores the snow.


This is my "action" shot
The pictures really do not do the snow any justice. It is absolutely gorgeous here at the moment. Tomorrow we fly back to Indiana for Christmas and my understanding is that it is snowing there right now!
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Limoncello

As many of you know, my father makes homemade limoncello around Christmas every year. Because Jason & I were here this year and probably because we are cheap labor, we helped make the World Famous Pino Limoncello.

First comes the lemons
And lots of them!


I had to thrown the "action" shot in for my hubby


Like I said, lots of lemons



And lots of liquor



Now we have to wait 10 days for the finished product....Yummo!!!!

Shower
















My sister Linda is getting married. We recently had a shower for her. Thank you to our gracious hosts, Aunt Joyce & Uncle George.


















She is getting married in the Caribbean. So the theme was tropical

















Poor Aunt Joyce getting in on the "turtle" war....she has no idea what she is getting into!
















The Fam
















I was making her hold up everything & take a picture....it got a little old after a while.



Her beautiful bouquet, which I cannot take credit for....Our sister in law Alison is sooooo talented! You should see it, she took tissue paper and rolled it into flowers. It really was beautiful for a bow bouquet.





Pay back is a bitch!!!



Isn't she booo-T-iful. Congrats!

Catch Up







Oh Jersey, my goofy dog, who if you say, "Jersey you want a bath?" will go & jump in the tub. What dog likes a BATH???










Ok so I will not bore everyone with our cross country road trip pictures, but look at poor Joplyn. She had to be drugged for the car ride otherwise she would have been miserable. Poor baby, she was pretty pathetic. Then there is Jersey, she is not drugged and is passed out in the back..






Joplyn and Jersey absolutely loved the empty house...they were running around like crazy animals. Both dogs have adjusted very well to NJ. I was more concerned about Joplyn because she has never been allowed off of the leash and here she just get kicks out the door to run. She has been doing fabulous....she loves to run and run and run. I actually got a phone message from Joe the other say stating he couldn't get her inside...







My poor empty house, so sad. I still do not think that it has hit me that I will never be in my home again. At this point, it seems like a long vacation.








Well we did move....this is our lovely moving company. I must say that once you have had the pleasure of moving with professionals, you will never move yourself again. BUT you must be careful. They packed my slippers, sneakers, and a book I was half way through. If it wasn't nailed down, it got moved....They did a great job.
