Mmmmm Cheese Iron!

I

was

so

lucky

this

past

week

end

as

I

got

CHEESE from the Cheese Iron.
In fact, I bought some aged Gouda named Beemster!
Pleased... so nice for my once-every-six-month-visit
my favorite store in Scarborough Maine!

Just some winter pics

I have been incredibly busy, between 3 kids, 2 classes, my brother and hockey. I haven't done much more than work work work (and search for MooMilk). I am feeling pretty overdone and tapped out - what spare time I have is spent TRYING to take care of me with a little exercise. I feel pretty out of touch with my blogging world, but hopefully soon I can find a balance in my busy life (read - hockey ends at the end of the month) and get back to the more important things to me.

I'd like you to think that we live in a winter wonderland - but really it's been a winter drought. So, in the hopes that you picture myself white a wonderful - here's a few pictures from when it recently was!
See
that
house?
It's
mine!
That's
how
far
from
the
road
we
are
and hence why we have nothing but dial up.















These are the snowshoe/cross country ski tracks we have going all around and about our house. And yes, that is Dear Daughter on her way home from the bus stop. Yes just like cable and high speed internet, the school bus also STOPS at the end of the road.
There's a large sled hill next to the house. But when I am home with the youngest and he wants to go sledding, it's really hard to be folding laundry or washing dishes AND being at the sled hill. So this year, my adoring husband came up with an EXCELLENT solution right outside the front door.
Why

didn't

we

think

of

this

sooner?









I call this a Boy Sandwich...




























Really, it took us 6 years to discover that we could sled in our own front yard!? Geesh!
