A Book To Read

I have to admit, when The Shack by William P. Young was first recommended to me I was skeptical. I read online that the book centered around a tragedy and that it was religious. Well since the passing of my own mom, tragedy is something that I cannot handle well and therefore was worried I'd be in tears throughout the book. Let me tell you, yes, the book is based on a tragedy but it is so much more. It is a most read. It really made me think about my own life and my own actions. I don't want to give away too much for those who have not read it. For those who have read it, let's chat.

More Snow Monday



Above are a couple of quick shots out my office window. In the top photo you can see the snow coming down, yet again. The second photo is just the wonderful view I have from my desk chair. :)

I'm looking forward to spring so I can get some color in my photos. Everything has been white thus far!

Yesterday I started reading The Shack by William P. Young. This book was recommend by my friend Sarah and even though I'm only half way through it I feel safe in saying if you haven't read it, you're missing out. It's a book I cannot put down. I can't wait to find out what happens next and I have an aerobics class tonight so I probably won't have a whole lot of reading time. I will make another entry here once I have finished reading it...perhaps opening up some discussion.

Daylight Savings Sunday

Wow do I ever feel guilty. I've been slacking off on my posts here so today will be a catch up post. Two weeks ago today Stacy and I went on a bus trip to Valcourt, Canada. I was astounded by the Motorcycles racing on ICE. Yes...can you imagine. I tried to get some photos but there was a fence between us and track (my camera kept focusing on the fence so I've got to get some pointers from my photographer friend Sarah). Here is my attempt at a photo:
The second photo is of the race sleds in the pit area.



Yes, we have snow! These photos were taken on February 26th and believe it or not the snow had settled some. The day prior to my taking these the snow was up to the bottom of the window on the front door. I'm not sure if Spring will ever make it here this year....
