Flurries

 My enjoyment of the snow earlier this week was increased by the knowledge that I didn't have to go out in it to drive to and from work.

 The baby thoroughly enjoyed her dinner.

Ending

 At the end of the fall semester, I packed up my personal items from my office. After nine and a half years working in the English Language Program at Saginaw Valley State University, I began 2021 with a new job.

Craft

 

We had a craft afternoon on Saturday. Amanda and Naomi worked on framing their cross stitch projects, Mom and Lauren knitted, Betsy sewed a baby dress, I cut snowflakes out of coffee filters and Libby baked this edible creation.

Choosing books

 

Our library is closed, due to the Flood last May, but Abel looks forward to getting books through curbuside pick up. 

Skiing

 

We went cross country skiing last week at the Chippewa Nature Center.
