Fire + Ice


Fire=
shooting grandpa's antique guns
annual christmas tree burning
warming myself in front of the toasty fireplace
heated arguments
intensity of making up
fire on the front porch and on the hearth
fever and burning caused by the stomach flu created in hell
warmth of the Spirit


Ice=
car heater malfunction in 0 degree weather
chillin'
cool balm of healing
the frigid results of global warming
Claire and Kennedy breakin' the ice with the cousins
black ice coating the roads
stunning snow-capped everything

I thought you might like to know that Mike was in bed all day Sunday with that dreaded stomach flu and I was up all last night with it. We are mostly fine now...a few little stomach spasams left. The good thing it was short lived but the bug seemed to "take no prisoners." It was nice to see you and your little munchkins and have you stay here.

I remember when I first met Mark and Shar 8-9 years ago, and they mentioned the burning of the Christmas tree, I thought Mark's family was crazy. Now, I get it. They aren't crazy, they're just Thatchers. Period.

Cute pictures.
