GiST #75

From yesterday and today:

1. Neighbors with snow blowers! There's a man down the street from us that clears our neighbor's driveway for him whenever it snows. We had such a heavy, wet snow in the last storm that I was worried TB and the kids would hurt themselves shovelling so I paid the guy to bring it over and clear our driveway too. It was worth it!

2. The Olympics have started, yay! I love the Olympics!

3. My mother-in-law went into the hospital for tests Thursday and ended up needing stents placed in her heart. Friday she needed more surgery--an ablation. Last I heard, she was resting comfortably and doing fine.

4. Paperback Swap is awesome! You can trade for books to read and the only cost is that of shipping and handling. Not a bad way to build a to-be-read list!

5. The support from folks here at GiST is enough to bring me to tears sometimes! Thanks you all!

6. I belong to a group called "Precious Memories" on Facebook and every week they have photo contests. This week's theme is "delicious" and I entered this photo of Heidi at 18 mos. old.



It's gotten a lot of votes! I can't tell Heidi though. She would be so embarrassed even though that picture is so sweet--no pun intended!

7. Comfort food on a cold Saturday: Black bean and beef chili with cornbread.
