Always makes me think that God is ever taking care of us!<br /><br />Love your snow shot! Just enough to feel festive, ay?<br /><br />It has been such a crazy week for me - so I am just getting around to visit! My youngest is now on the freshman basketball team - so I get to go to 2 games a week - although last night was parent conferences - so even though music teachers don't have conferences - they want us to work the same hours as the classroom teachers - so yesterday I had to work 1230- 800pm. Thankfully Larry got to take the day off and do all my normal after school running around! <br /><br />Just throws the whole schedule off - And of course the Band Boosters sold wreaths and poinsettia's and we were told we had to deliver them the day we picked them up - so needless to say - Wednesday was nuts - driving all over Western NY to deliver the ones people bought to support Jake and the band. <br /><br />Finally it is Friday (2 weeks before Christmas) and I have not bought one gift yet! Guess I will be out with the crowds this weekend! Not something I am looking forward to at all!!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509515010922017170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-68771986245335947522010-12-10T02:26:12.958-06:002010-12-10T02:26:12.958-06:00the Blue Ridge mountains looked so heavenly and pe...the Blue Ridge mountains looked so heavenly and peaceful.
