An Awesome View of Life

  2017 Day 6 January 14, 2017

Clairvoyant?  Is there a new project for me in the near future?  This family tree book has been in my keeping for several years.  I've added my branch of the tree to my online tree but haven't added much of any of the other branches.   There is another project I would like to do connected to the Winter family as well.  Both might be good projects to tackle this winter.  (:

Bits of color It still can be pretty here once it snows?  Another photo from a couple of days ago.  Too dang cold to go out on an adventure today.  Besides I was busy finding exciting information about my great-great grandparents who immigrated from Norway in 1875.  Way too much fun!  ha!

In denial... My calendar and my mind say it is still fall so I am posting another photo from my last fall photo adventure.  I promise to go take this same shot while there is snow.  It will be amazing but I'm just not ready to go on any adventures just yet.  I am also using my granddaughter as an excuse to not go out into what is outside my door.  She was here ALL day today and will be here ALL day tomorrow as well.  (:  It's just way too cold and windy to take her out for a walk. 

The beauty of winter.  Pot holes and dirty snow.   (:

  A wedding gift...   In February 1926 my grandparents Carl Albert Engel and Mabel Florence Winters were married.  This was one of their wedding gifts.  There is a large bowl with five of these matching smaller bowls. This is my most beloved item in my antique glassware collection.

  Winter Drab or Bits of Color...   This photo was taken from my kitchen window.  I wasn't really afraid or avoiding going outside to take pictures today, even though it never made it above zero.  The window is just where I saw this scene.  I did go out briefly to take two photos, neither of which made me smile or go "hmmm..."  One of these criteria must be met in order for a photo to be used in my photo journal.    When I first looked at this photo I thought it was rather drab, which winter is here in Minnesota.  Or is it?  But when I flipped the picture to full screen I realized just how much color is in this photo.  Color is there if you look...
