Leicca’s Neighborhood

Don't adjust your computer. This ia a picture of my Christmas tree! I had a happy accident with the camera and was really chuffed when I saw what it looked like so of course I fooled around a bit more. Basically I moved the camera around as the shutter was going off. Not rocket science but fun to do.The room was too dark for anything but the lights to register.

This one is a picture of our tree topping. I snapped and quickly tilted the camera down as I was taking the pic:)

We have a gigantic storm bearing down on us. I was looking at the radar and it appears as if we are going to get a LOT of snow. Click on the wee arrow above the radar picture to see it animate.
I've been to the store and stocked up on goodies, filled up the car and now am firmly ensconced awaiting the big blow:)

I am keeping this here on my blog until Dec 30th. The BustaMove BIG PRIZE DRAW , hoping that you might be interested in donating $10 to help purchase a digital mammogram machine & be entered in our fabulous draw. Help make the boobs of Nova Scotian women merry! Thanks to all of you who have done so already:)) Prizes are continuing to be added:) Latest is a CD by Shannon Quinn! Winner takes all. Great odds!

I know I haven't been here in a little while.  Sorry.  I was posting on my regular blog and thought it showed up here,  but I see it didn't(smile).  That's ok.....now, I know.

The reason for my title.....a lady friend from church asked me to read "The Shack" and give her my opinion.  Well, I finished it up today & I'm just not real sure how I feel about it.  I think it's one of those books one must "digest" before forming an opinion. Does that make sense?   First....all I can say right now is I thought it was a very good "story".  Some of it I did not agree with..&..some of it was very,very good.  One part really grabbed me where he wrote about Adam's death expelled the very breath of God.  That never occurred to me...until reading that and remembering that God breathed into Adam to bring him alive & putting it all together, just made me go WoW!  

So,  I guess my question is this...."Has anyone here read this book & do you have an opinion you would like to share?"  "What did you get out of it?"

Love this picture! It is a print in my shop called Winter Bunnies. Notice the snowman:)

I am weary right now, late night, early morning and lots of good stuff in between! Our pancake breakfast was another success:) I just wanted to log on and thank everybody who came! It is always a fun event but..... smiling, talking, cooking, tidying and enjoying everybody makes one sleepy by the time 3pm rolls around. Dare I take a nap? After all it is Saturday. I am not a napper by nature but I might just pop into bed with The Scarpetta Factor, P. Cornwell's latest book and a cup of Tazo Chai. mmmm.

Finally got our tree up and it looks warm and festive with it's twinkly lights and decoration. Now if I could only get to my Christmas cards! Maybe I'll do them tomorrow as the snow falls.

Now that the Pancake Breakfast is over, I am focusing on this wee draw. Please think about donating:) I will keep this here on my blog until Dec 30th. BustaMove BIG PRIZE DRAW For $10 you can help purchase a digital mammogram machine & be entered in our fabulous draw. Help make the boobs of Nova Scotian women merry! Prizes are continuing to be added:) Latest is a CD by Shannon Quinn! Winner takes all. Great odds! Thanks to those who have purchased:)

これは白川郷ですが、今現在うちの近辺はこれより悲惨な事になっております('A`)

・・・ということは現在の白川郷は、推して知るべし・・・。

　

おお・・・、でも調べたら谷集落の方が積もってるな。

井戸

139㎝ですね（＾ω＾）
←谷集落。婆ちゃんとか大丈夫かな・・・、ほんまあの集落の人は凄いな。
うちんとこの2倍か～。　

今日は福井市内、県庁近辺でも積雪があり大混乱で楽しかったですね(´∀｀)
石川も富山もそうですが、県庁所在地の人は道路に積雪があると弱いです。　

ってゆーか、行政、除雪ケチンナ。市内凄い事になってるぞ:(；ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ'):　

Whites

2008 Extreme Pierre Sparr Riesling Alsace. Big Alsace wine that smells like flowers, and tastes like lime and tropical fruit. You can't go wrong with this one. 

Reds

2007 Fetzer Merlot California. Cheap, and really pleasant -- a polite friend. 

2006 Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon California. Really nice. Interesting. A spicy new world wine. 

2008 Lindemans Bin 50. The Chevy of Aussie Shiraz. This is the cola of wine; always good to have around. 

I tried a Canadian Cabernet Franc, but I won't tell you what it was, it was awful on the nose and taste, I think it's more for cooking.

Served up by the #Halifaxchicks team:)
