Surprise! A white Christmas!

This is the first time in 60 years that Winston Salem has had a white Christmas. With all the places we've lived, I never remember one. It started falling a little before noon and fell slowly yet continuously all day and night.

Here are a few pix from the front and back doors.

    Doesn't it just look lovely?!?! I think you got more there than we got here. It had started moving east a bit when it got up to VA and so we only got about 4-5 inches. But it's nice and soft and powedery so it's easy to just sweep off cars and porches. The deck and driveway need a shovel though cause it's so deep but it still moves easily.

    Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a wonderful (and warmer - so they say) New Year weekend!!

    I hope you have a wonderful, restful week! Enjoy NO school ;)

Five TV Shows I Enjoy

I don't watch TV exactly, but I do have shows line up in my HULU queue, so I do watch those at my convenience. M erlin - this is a sci-fi channel show. I've been an Merlin fan since I was a kid and read The Once and Future King. Merlin and Arthur are both young men in this one. Lie to Me - I love Tim Roth's sassy character and the way he always gets the best of someone by psychoanalyzing them. Fringe - Another sci-fi show, but on ABC. It's just weird at times. Dual universes. Reminds me a bit of Sliders, but much darker and ominous. Characters have developed nicely. Always some very odd twist. FlashForward - I like this one enough I wanna buy the book to see how they compare/contrast. World changing event happens where everyone sees a glimpse of  their futures for the same time period. FBI is trying to find out why and how it happened - how to keep it from happening again. Lots of intrigue. mmmmm that's only 4 DollHouse - didn't make it. This show

Changing denominations

A little over a year ago, when I left my job at the church and walked away to find a new one, I also left my church. The church, that church, the old church? For 17 years, it had been my church and then it was not. Ron and I had taught more classes than I can remember - together and apart. We worked with discipleship, new members and of course, the library. The boys spent their teenage years there and were in countless programs, went to numerous camps as campers and then as counselors. They went on mission trips and made their first international trips with this church. But the time had come to go. We had different jobs and Ron continued teaching Sunday School until the year ended. I didn't go anywhere in that time period. It was in many ways a time of healing. A few people knew why I wasn't there. I'd see other people out and about and they'd mention that they hadn't seen me at church in a while. One of the problems in going to a really big church with multiple ser
