I think your pictures are stunning--yay for the new camera! Happy new year!
Dear Icy Ali,
Beautiful, the pictures and your attitude of gratitude.
Love,
Way too cold in NE
I am thankful for blogging friends like you that take such amazing pictures it makes want to smile and cry at the same time.
You and Kylie would get along great...she loves spiders too. ;-)
I found your blog last week, and just have to tell you how much I enjoy it! Love your pictures, and your outlook. I grew up in the same field as your cousins in SouthWest ND...I think I probably even met you one summer long ago when they brought me out with them for convention. Fun to see glimpses of them in your pics as well.
Thanks for sharing!
Kris
p.s. I've also been enjoying your cooking sight!
ah, a great post. Wonderful things to be thankful for. Could you please pass the Tilamook =)
Lovely numbers, Alison, like a play-list of inspirational songs. Keep playing it again and again. :) I'll keep listening.
Thanks for the comments! It's so fun to hear from you all!
Jackie, I had lost your blog site a while back and it was so fun to find you again- thanks for leaving a comment. Your little one is so cute!
Have a great week everyone and stay warm!
