Saturday's Heart

This beautiful heart arrived Saturday from my talented friend Cris Cunningham..you can check out all her beautiful work at http://www.enchantedheartsstudio.typepad.com/ I haven't had too much time to be on the computer....it's been storming for days...and tomorrow they are calling for SNOW again....I need to prepare today....when it snows here ....we are pretty much stuck...we live a little less than a mile up a hill on top of a mountain...since we don't have a 4-wheel drive ...driving DOWN the hill is just too dangerous and scary. I'm going to run errands today....get some groceries...pay some bills...and go to the post office.
I've also been busy working on a few things in the studio....plus going through some boxes of "family history"....trying to get some papers organized etc. I just recently made a connection with a cousin (lets see....he is my Dad's 1st cousin...so I am guessing that would make him my 2nd cousin). He actually found me through this blog! We are sharing family stories...and old photos from the Bates side of the family.....My Grandmother's maiden name is Bates. I have always loved learning about my family history..I still have lots of old vintage photos to post. This is a time consuming project...SO...with everything that I NEED to do around here...and everything that I WANT to do...the days go by so fast...I try to spend some time each day on the computer..but... I'm not always able to. I do read most of my favorite blogs...but..I don't always have the time to make comments...I just want all of my BLOGGING buddies to know that I LOVE and appreciate them!
