Night time beauty of the snow from my front door!

I thought these photos of the trees across the road were just spectacular! With all the snow hanging on the branches the trees and bushes looked so much bigger than life. I think it is supposed to be windy tomorrow and the pretty snow will fall off the trees. So....I had to save the beauty for posterity!

Snapshots taken today!

We were driving down Main Street today and I had to snap this photo through the windshield of Hamley's Steakhouse. It was snowing like mad!

The First Christian Church was almost hidden in snow.

Beau and Megan were trying to make a snowman!

Tiah's family in the snow. Brrrrrrrrrrrr, but fun!

Beautiful, Beautiful SNOW!

Beau had a great time making angels. Of course, we think he is quite the angel himself. The snow was just PERFECT for making angels!

Beau, Tara and Megan trying out the JANUARY SNOW! Mmmmmmm, it is the best you know.

The afternoon was spent at Tiah's where we had a wonderful dinner and then watched the kids have fun in the snow. It was a very pleasant afternoon.

And the Woman of the Year is.....

Back Row: Kristie, Sue, Debbie and Dave

Front Row: Bob, Shirley and Marty

Woman of the Year 2007 ..... Shirley Michael!

We just love her and are sooooo proud of her! With her generous heart and the willingness and ability to volunteer for our community for over 40 years is unbelieveable! She has set the bar!!!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Wow! 5 degrees this morning! I feel like I am in a deep freeze. Watching the weather report this morning, I see that my daughter in Baker City is experiencing 12 degrees below zero. I feel so sorry for her 'cause she is climatized to Palm Springs winters. Geez, what a year to move to Baker City!

Through the course of the day, I hope everyone stays warm and cozy. I plan on it! Got to watch the ice though, 'cause I have an inclination to slip and fall with my slicky soled shoes. Maybe I should put my Yak Trax on today!

We are busy, busy, busy at the Chamber with our First Citizens Banquet preparations. The banquet is this Friday evening out at Wildhorse Resort & Casino. Can hardly believe that it has been a year since the last one...time is flying by. The Chamber is decorating three tables this year! Lucky us! Sure wish we could get more table sponsorships from our members...it would lighten my load.

It will be fun to post the winners on Friday night! Check back...it will all be here on my blog!

Have a good one!

Saturday Fun in Boardman

Tara's basketball team played in Boardman on Saturday...and won! Here the girls are before the game contemplating their strategy!

Ok....let's get the spirit. Their usual ritual before each game.

Stretch Tara! Way to go!!!!

Keep it from those Lady Pirates Tara!

Uh Oh.....looks like the small and big of it! Keep running Tara....she can't catch ya!

Time for the Charity Line.....go Tara....we need points!

After the game, Tiah, Beau and I went to the River Lodge on the Columbia River in Boardman. It is a very nice facility. 'Thought maybe Beau would enjoy a little extra special something! Talk about a huge hamburger! (He took half of it home!)

Beau and mom in the restaurant at the lodge.

This is the dining room of the restaurant. Very nice, huh? It had a great view of the Columbia.

The lobby is quite vast! Here the kiddies are exploring.

Before we left, I took a photo of Beau and Tiah sitting by the fireplace. Beau thinks we should go back again sometime. All in all, we had a wonderful day.

This is for Nicki!

This photo is for my cousin, Nicki, the doll lover! It was taken on Christmas Day when Megan and Tara brought all of their dolls for Christmas dinner! They are such doll lovers themselves ... it is fun to see what the girls create for their dolls. Would you believe they even had a Christmas Tree for their dolls, along with stockings and presents, set up in the bedroom? Gotta love it! Hope you enjoyed this Nicki!
