Well. Not entirely unexpected, but it was weird. The weather the past few days was fairly nice, and on Friday night we actually had thunderstorms. It was strange to have a big, blowy snow after all that. It was a perfect day for holing up in the house after church in my pajamas, though!
*We interrupt this post to say “Happy Birthday, Deborah!”*
Last week Bethany (Deborah’s daughter) brought by the following poem. At first I was just enamored of the cuteness of her spelling and her thoughtfulness at noticing the poem’s author (Ralph, Wally and Emme are named for him), but today I actually read it for what it was.
How beautiful. I don’t often read poetry, but I’m thinking that maybe I should.
Emme liked it, too.

This post is filled with awesome “Ahhhh…” things.
1. Your snow. Ahhh! So jealous am I. We have not had 1 good snow this year.
2. The poem!! Is beautiful! That Bethany sure is talented. …the river to heaven Ahhhh!
3. Emme. What a great shot! Ahhhh!
4. Happy Birthday Deborah! Ahhhh!
Kristi says
Happy Birthday, Deborah!!!! So glad you’re back in Nebraska, even though you were stranded up in the northern parts for a bit.

Speaking of homes, have you seen this show Lauren: “You Live in What?” I can’t find a clip of the show but last night I thought you might like the lighthouse that was bought & transformed into a home.
Lauren says
It’s like my worlds are colliding, Peggy -- one of the tiny homes from tinyhouseblog.com is going to be on it! http://tinyhouseblog.com/yourstory/marcias-caboose-on-hgtv/

While I was reading the poem, I was wondering what has become of all the students I’ve had who were so good at poetry. Do they keep writing as adults? Or what about the kids who were such great artists? Hopefully they found jobs where they could use those skills. Or maybe they continued to do that in their spare time?
Deborah says
Thank you! I made it back to Seward over the snow-packed roads. So I’m reading to start celebrating!
Deborah says
“Reading”? I think I still had too much adrenaline running through me from driving on snow. I meant to type, “ready”.
Lauren says
I wondered about that. You sounded so calm…..
