Happy

What is one simple thing that makes you happy?

Think Nut Hut!

I told you I'm Going Nuts! You know that wonderful smell you smell from the Nut Hut when you walk into a mall before the holidays?

Now your house can smell like that...

I just posted this recipe on my recipe blog for you!

These sweet spiced nuts make great gifts packaged in a festive tin. They are a sweet snack or can be added to the top of salad with poppy seed dressing! Yum!

Hope you enjoy!

Looking West

Looking west to the tip top of the mountain from our house. It's a beautiful cold snowy world out there.

Just keepin' the fire going,

When The Lights Went Out

Last Friday night we had a long power outage in our community. I was driving home from town that evening and it was strange to see total blackness on one side of the road for miles and miles. Then on the other side of the road that I was driving, it was all lit up with twinkling lights for miles and miles. I knew it was going to be a dark night because we live on the dark side of the road! ;)
When I got home, Randy had the lantern lit and the kids had their flashlights out. The plan for the evening was to mix and stuff the summer sausage. Here we are gathered around the lantern at the kitchen table.

Kyla also attempted to practice her piano lessons with the help of Colter holding the light. It's always an adventure to have an evening like this once and awhile...


But just "once and awhile"!
