Went for a walk by the lake today to look at the beautiful snow under the sun. I just love how it sparkles.

I was up so early for a meeting that I caught the frozen dew still on the ground in the western suburbs!

in memory of a great woman
My grandmother, Mary Ellen Sloan. 92 and a half years old!!
She suffered a stroke about fourteen months ago that left her unable to speak and with limited mobility. My mother took her home and gave her the best care anyone could hope for. We were all so surprised she stayed with us as long as she did - held out through the holidays to be able to see everyone one last time. I am so happy I was able to see her, give her hugs and kisses and tell her I loved her. She was the most fabulous grandmother a girl could have. I have such fond memories of my time with her on the farm, at church and the holidays. I will miss her something terrible, but am so thankful I had 38 years with her. Hershey kisses all around!

Stopped just off the Chesterton exit to take photos of the tall grasses. I love looking at them sway in the breeze and the kind of glisten when the sun passes through them. I have been wanting to stop for quick snap several times and finally did today.
Then off to take photos and have a late lunch with the girls.
