the parting glass

so it snowed some more.  as pretty as it all is, I'm kinda tired of it {see picture #2!}.  I don't often wish that I lived somewhere else, but today I wish I lived somewhere warm.

so we had a party tonight for my dad's 65th birthday.  just under three months ago my dad was admitted to the hospital for emergency open heart surgery.  today he celebrated his birthday with a room full of his closest friends and family.  I am so incredibly grateful for this.  I had a bunch more that I was going to write today, but I am tired {SHOCKING!} and all my words are just gone.  poof!  I'll try again tomorrow!!
