what I like about winter: exhibit b

festive businesses:
just look at this place a few blocks away from me. they are totally on board with everything that is to celebrate this holiday season. it just looks happy doesn't it? makes me want to stop in for a bite. want to join me?


my parents, sister, and great aunt are on their way to seattle as we speak. there is a storm set to move in early tomorrow morning and is rumored to make mountain pass travel next to impossible. they decided to circumvent the problem and drive over late tonight. this is not my dad's forte (he's a morning guy) and my mom is stressed so I'm praying not just that the weather would keep until they cross the summit, but that their spirits would rest and calm along the way. scrambling to pack an overstuffed car (and realizing you've left the stocking stuffers behind an hour into the journey) and travel during the dark are not always the first choice but sometimes is the better option. thank you lord for safe travel.

Hope they make it safely - where are they coming from?

Troy's last run over Donner's to get to San Francisco got cancelled - the storm was just too bad. I'm thankful his company is reasonable like that.

I'm glad your parents are watching the weather and making good choices. And yes, thank the Lord for safe traveling - we say it in our prayers every single day.

Have a wonderful time with your family! Merry Christmas!!!
