Two nephews - Cole & Holden

I am so blessed to have two of my nephews, Cole and Holden, near me! When I go home on the weekends, they are just a couple of blocks away. I loved spending time with them in the snow today.

Holden - 5 1/2 years
Cole 13 years



He's growing so tall so fast!!





Tab, their dad, pulling them behind the fourwheeler..

trying to invite people to my "writing" blog...

It says that I need to email an invite to people who want to follow my "writing" blog. So, leave your email if you want me to send an invite to you. Sorry for the confusion.

my other blog, the "writing" blog

Well, haha... I said a while ago that I was getting rid of my "writing" blog, that is to say http://mylovewriting.blogspot.com/, BUT, I have found that some people actually do read it. And as some of the pieces I post on there are too long to post on my regular blog (for fear of boredom from some :)) ), I am going to keep my "writing" blog, switching most of my writing to the "writing" blog. If you would like to be invited to this private "writing" blog, please leave a comment saying you would like to be invited.
*** ALSO*** if someone could be advise me as to how to make a blog private and invite these who want to be invited, it would be much appreciated. LOL. Because I have no idea :))

Boaz.

Just a very short poem I wrote a few years ago. Enjoy :)) By the way, I envision this character as a young little guy of perhaps 3-5 years old.


Boaz


Curls

With a hint of amber

dressed his olive forehead,

a luster of innocence

radiating

from sapphire blue eyes

and a simple smirk.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!


Yay! This friday night and Saturday we are "supposed" to get 6 or so inches of the white stuff!!! :)) And we don't get it very often. At ALL. So, I'm excited and hoping the weatherman is right; BUT, we all know only the One who makes these snowflakes knows whether or not they are coming down :)
I need Africa more than Africa needs me. Do you?
