We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if we only seek them with our eyes open. ~ Jawaharlala Nehru
Even though it looks like this outside I know there is some adventure waiting for me.
Today it will come wrapped in the shape of a trip to the tree farm for a Christmas tree…
(I don’t wanna go.)
How’s it looking in your part of the world?
How adventurous are you being?!

DOORS UP!
I know, I know… The perfect picture search for the year is over… but RAVENSGIFT has posted some beautiful doors and it would be a shame not to share them… besides you all know you secretly need a DOOR fix!
I hope your all keeping a subject for next year at the back of your minds!

A learning break through
You all know I’m learning ASL- American Sign Language.
I get a little frustrated sometimes because the girls have to do a lot of finger spelling for me.
That wouldn’t be so bad if I weren’t so slow at it. I have to go through each letter in my head and then put the letters together for the word, it’s been taking FOREVER…
Today I had a revelation… I have been mentally saying the letters in my head, not SEEING the letters in my head. ASL is a visual language not a vocal one!
So now I have been practicing the alphabet in my head and instead of just “hearing” the letter, mentally I form a picture of it.
At first it was hard, but it’s getting easier. It made me wonder if J and J mentally “HEAR” things when they are doing their inner cogitating, or do they “SEE” them.
I’ll have to ask them.
Do you run a mental dialogue in your head?
(I know, Oh! The voices, the voices!) *insert eye rolling here*

Ditch happens
Today we had a nice snow storm.
I had to take Ben to work in the middle of it.
On the way home I thought I would take some pictures.
I was fine going down this road.
It was when I stopped to take this picture…
I took a couple shots, got back in the car which I had parked on the edge of the road,
and promptly slid into the ditch.
If you have to, that’s the way to do it…
I had three gentlemen in trucks stop and offer to pull me out but I already had a tow truck on the way.
I figure ditch happens.
Hope your all keeping your toes warm and your whiskers dry!
