Busy time of year for you too?

December 17th, 2010 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog

snow on spruce treesThis is such a busy time of year with getting gifts for family and friends, sending out Christmas cards, traveling to be with family, shoveling the snow and then celebrating the birthday of our Lord on the 25th.

It’s also a time for getting your tax deductions for 2010 all lined up, taking end-of-the-year inventory for those of you in business, rolling in the new year with parties and celebrations and also preparing for filing State Sales Tax and Federal Income Taxes later on.

During all this hustle bustle  crazy time, be sure to take time for yourself. Slow down, take some deep breaths,  appreciate and be grateful for everything and everyone you have in your life.

We are here for such a fleeting moment in the passing of time, be mindful of all you are doing and realize the magnitude  of the hearts you are touching in your daily acts of life.

Here’s hoping you have a very Merry Christmas
and a prosperous and Happy New Year!

One of the newest additions is the  Chair Caning Information page. It’s located right over there on the left side navigation under the USEFUL RESOURCES heading.

MN Sub Zero Weather

December 12th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog

Snow on spruce trees

We are experiencing the coldest temperature yet this year up here in our area of northern Minnesota with -22 º F at 6 a.m.  Had -17º  F a few days ago, but it quickly warmed up to a more reasonable temp in the 20s.

My dad called from Oklahoma City this morning saying it was what we call, a “balmy” 23º  ABOVE zero! Heck, hubby had to tease him by saying,  “that’s T-shirt wearing weather up here.”

I really wanted to attend church service today at Trinity Lutheran Church in Cook, but with the temps so bad and the fact that I park my car outside, it’s doubtful.

Our kids called from the Twin Cities area and reported that they were dumped on with over 15″ of the white stuff yesterday! Bundle up everyone and keep the home fires burning!
