And with temperatures so unusually low in Virginia, it stayed frozen for days and days.<br />
<br />
I admit to developing cabin fever and finally went out, slipping and sliding through my neighborhood until I got to the regular streets which were clear. A woman has to do what a woman has to do, right?!<br />
<br />
Now they're calling for snow again this week. I was complaining to a friend about it, and he said, "Well after all, it's January!"<br />

That's fine, except we have had many January's with no snow and no single-digit temperatures - and I vote for more of those.<br />
<br />
Which turns my mind to dreams of Daytona Beach. Some research revealed it's a mere 10 hour drive from my home. And I'm always up for an adventure. Hoping we might make the trip in February. And if these low temperatures continue, we might stay.<br />

Not really. My husband has to get back to his job. My dream of the beach can only become reality for a few days.<br />
<br />
How is the weather where you are?<br />

P.S. the letters above are wooden (from Michael's) with scrap paper cut-outs glued using Mod Podge. They sit in my window.

But first, a friend and former high school classmate sent me this picture - it's of the house I grew up in, and the picture was taken during a recent light snow. Even though someone else now lives here, it will always seem like home to me.<br />

It's such a sweet little cottage. When I was growing up, I thought we lived in a mansion. This house was filled with so much love from our parents, we felt rich!<br />

Now on to the vignettes:<br />

The foyer:<br />

I've decided to wait until the first weekend of December to decorate for Christmas. Trying to decide whether to use our regular large tree in the den, or to buy this Target tree.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="single-image" height="400" itemprop="image" src="https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/52592691?wid=520&hei=520&fmt=pjpeg" style="outline: medium none currentcolor;" width="400" /> <br />
<br />
The kids are grown now, things change. Either way, it's about family and being together ... and the birth of the Savior.<br />

This is the original 120 Spring Street in Scranton, PA, the house my dad and his four brothers grew up in. We hadn't planned to go by it, but when I got up Sunday morning and insisted on driving miles out of our way to get sweet tea from Chick-Fil-A ... and nearly there remembered they're not open on Sundays (lol), but then realized we were on Main Street - well, of course I got excited and kept on Main Street until I found Spring Street and the rest is - a photo op! Such fun. </div>

My cousin Ryan happened to be having a graduation/going away to college party for his son on the Saturday evening I was in his town, Waymart. I saw cousins I hadn't seen in 15 years, and met cousins I'd never met before - I loved every minute of it! </div>

For our family vacation, we returned to our favorite spot on Lake Gaston, NC. The weather was great and we had a wonderful week with our little boat. The highlight for me was when one of my high school classmates invited us to her cottage and took us on boat rides with rafts behind - so much fun for everyone. </div>

Kathy and I on her front porch. I have to tell you about my hat, I thought I was really something in that hat ... until it blew off into the lake! Someone turned the boat around really fast as I watched my new hat sinking, sinking ... and then my son reached way out and grabbed it - victory! Of course it was drenched, but even if it hadn't been, I was afraid to put it on again, lest it blow into the water. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Most of you probably have one furniture item in your home that you love the most. Mine is this table which belonged to my parents. They bought it second hand soon after they moved into the new house Dad built in 1950.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our family of five ate all our meals at this table ... well, except when we had the preachers come for dinner during revival week - they earned seats in the dining room :)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom was an amazing cook - homemade yeast rolls, pies, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">cakes were always available at this table. Fried chicken, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">pot roast, beef stew.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Back then, the table was painted white. Funny, Mom had it white, but when I got it, I couldn't wait to get it back to its natural oak. (Mom decided she'd rather have a chrome and formica one.) </span></div>

Their names were Princess (she was so sweet) and Dynamite (also well named ha!). Since then I've had an interest in horses. My children took riding lessons when they were growing up - some of the happiest days of their lives.<br />
<br />
Recently I learned my cousin in Pennsylvania has two horses, and while I knew I didn't want the work and expense of ownership (not to mention we live on a quarter acre in a subdivision!), I still love horses.<br />
<br />
While in Home Goods last week, I met the horse of my dreams. Beautiful, regal ... no upkeep, no expense. Perfect.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhezYOBiT2GiiMPbsqY8_AO7-y3zaTPcJfraWe5AzfURHQkS9yIxM_GGA0oxgtz6f37eYwVLTeFxziH6CPSi7Wm-B7W5oNYIu30FBrWm4WsK4Hwy69vpD5-hzgv8lnEv8eTB8gSY5GC0Js/s1600/Horse2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhezYOBiT2GiiMPbsqY8_AO7-y3zaTPcJfraWe5AzfURHQkS9yIxM_GGA0oxgtz6f37eYwVLTeFxziH6CPSi7Wm-B7W5oNYIu30FBrWm4WsK4Hwy69vpD5-hzgv8lnEv8eTB8gSY5GC0Js/s400/Horse2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
During that same visit to Home Goods, I spotted a red (burgundy-ish) table that would fit perfectly into my hall foyer. This foyer is narrow, and I've tried every table in the house in that spot - nothing fit or looked just right. But I knew this table was going to be IT, and it is! Hard to get a good picture on this very cloudy day, the table color is more akin to the pic above.<br />
<br />

<br />
Exactly the right size, shape, and color for this spot, and my new horse looks perfect standing on it. Of course she needed a name, so I chose Buttons since I love to sew.<br />

I hope you'll be a good year to all of us.<br />
<br />
This year I plan to remove the pressure of posting here by sharing some of my favorite Pinterest pictures.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://artandsand.blogspot.com/">Art and Sand</a> is one of my all-time favorite blogs, so it's only natural I begin the year off by sharing one of Carol's New Year pictures ~<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Wouldn't that be easy to copy for next year? I love an easy but fun craft project. This one tops the list.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year ~<br />

I love Christmas - everything about it from the lights to the decorations to the gifts. Shopping is so much more fun during the season as shoppers go their way eagerly searching for the perfect present for their loved ones. Such a feeling of giving permeates the air. Why can't we do that all that time!<br />

The weather here in Virginia is perfect - warm days in the 70s, cool nights in the 40-50s. Great sleeping weather, and great to be outside weather too. I heard from my Pennsylvania cousins that it's quite a bit chillier there in the Pocono Mountains, but that's to be expected. They've already had a bit of an ice storm.<br />
<br />
<br />
My mantel only required tiny tweaks to change from Halloween to Thanksgiving. I'm big on traditions, and these two have been part of the family for decades - the Pilgrim s&p formerly belonging to my dear mother, the turkey painted by me in a class long ago.<br />

We've talked a lot this fall about the possibility of spending Christmas in Florida. That would be a very dramatic change for us from "the tradition" of spending the day with extended family. But we'll probably put that trip on hold as we have plans this summer of celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary with a trip to Colorado (my dream) and the Grand Canyon (his dream). Saving our nickels and dimes for that.<br />

I haven't told you how I recently began drinking coffee at the age of 63. It started when my daughter introduced me to Wawa's free coffee (twice a year, who knew?!) and flavors to be added. I fell in love with French Vanilla and realized I could create the same coffee at home. And now I'm addicted with one cup of caffeine first thing each morning, following throughout the day by another two cups of decaf. I feel very adult (at last, haha).<br />

We're still on the look-out for a puppy/dog to adopt. I search the shelters and wait for someone who will be right for us: quiet, calm, low-shedding. Hope I haven't set my sights too high but these are our requirements. Things have a way of coming together when the time is right.<br />

I love the cooler weather we're enjoying here in Virginia. Time to close the doors and stay inside to watch NetFlix movies in the evenings. I really miss Downton Abbey, don't you?<br />
<br />
This section of the quilt hanging in my dining room was part of the Sew-a-long with Lori Holt a few years ago. This looks like a cozy house to winter in, don't you think?<br />

Soon the Carter's Mountain Orchard will be beckoning us to visit to pick our own or buy pre-picked. I'll stock up on Granny Smith's, my choice for making an apple cobbler or pie. Either served piping hot with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream. Yum. And there'll be afternoons we'll want hot cocoa, one of my favorite cold weather treats. Another block from the same quilt ~<br />

And the leaves will begin to fall, always a big (but enjoyable) job for hubby. We cut down several trees a few years ago but our nice neighbor is upwind of us and always shares loads of his leaves :)<br />

Hope you enjoyed seeing my fall mantel and thinking of warm food, drinks, and home.<br />

As soon as I drop my son off at school for his junior year, I'll start putting out the orange. I admit to bringing home a white pumpkin from Michael's the other day. It sat on the table for a while. Others decorate beautifully with white pumpkins. But I can't seem to make the leap. So back to Michael's it went.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sticking with orange and yellow for fall. Tree colors here in Virginia.<br />
<br />
And baking! Oh I love me some baking; today I'm making a pound cake for a friend and I can't wait. Cheating with a mix this time, but I have found a family recipe for pound cake and plan to make that soon. Will share the recipe with you then. Meanwhile: measure ... stir ... bake.<br />

Are you ready for fall? Or are you like my friend Donna, who groans at the end of summer?<br />

Only three weeks until school starts again, and my son will be off to the tech center half-days to learn more about computer programming. His passion. Got it from his Dad, definitely not me - see <a href="http://120springstreet.blogspot.com/2016/07/learning-curve.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
My sister-in-law Linda brought us some tomatoes from her garden. She lives in the country but no animals bother her crop. We live in town and we quit planting - the squirrels were the winners :)<br />

Meanwhile, I joined a really fun Sew Sampler monthly quilt group at Fat Quarter Shop. Each month I get a box filled with goodies - everything from fabric to quilt patterns to things every quilter needs -<br />

I've made three blocks, with nine more to go. The colors are different from anything I've ever done but it's kind of fun to mix things up a bit.<br />

<br />
I've been blogging off and on for three or four years, and there are still so many things I can't figure out.<br />
<br />
Like the blog header above. The picture on the far right is cut off. So frustrating!<br />
<br />
I started editing in Picmonkey - couldn't get it to save anything I worked on. Finally gave up and moved to something called Foto Flex. That's where I ended up with this banner.<br />
<br />
Last week it was my camera. I couldn't figure out how to transfer pictures from the camera to the computer. Had to wait for hubby to find time to help me do that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/nikon-d3300-user-guide,review-2183.html)</span></div>
<br />
And speaking of the camera - it's a nice camera, a Nikon D3300 (mine's black), but I can't use all the upgrade features. The kind man at the camera shop said to come in first thing one morning and he'd start teaching me about aperture, lighting ... things like that.<br />
<br />
I still haven't gotten there. So hubby and I tried an online class through Craftsy. So far over my head!<br />
<br />
And so it goes. This week I will try to edit the pictures we transferred. So what's it going to be: Picmonkey? iPiccy? Foto Flex?<br />
<br />
Does this technological world ever overwhelm you? Or is it just me?<br />
<br />

We did a little shopping and a little cooking out. Lots of rain again in this part of Virginia - I'm beginning to feel like we live in England with all this rain and very green grass.<br />
<br />
I wanted to show you a few vignettes I've created for summer. I love the textures and colors atop my inherited what-not shelf (it belonged to my mom). A clock in every room is a total necessity for me since I quit wearing a watch. Who needs a watch when they have a cell phone, right? But when you're in one room and the cell phone is in another - you need a clock! My daughter's baby picture brings back such happy memories, what a precious little girl who was the answer to years of prayer. We adopted her (and her brother) from Romania in 1997. The blue vase with pink and white daisies is another thing that makes me happy. <br />

The above are a few mugs I've been collecting at Home Goods, and have I mentioned (about a hundred times) that Home Goods is my all-time favorite store?! It is. The white vase with pink flowers on the mantel (in pic above) is from Home Goods too. There's lots more in my home from that store (I visit weekly lol), so I'll have to do a Home Good post soon. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're interested in shopping there (the greatest items at fantastic prices), here's an inside tip: the truck delivers new merchandise for the week on Sunday. The merchandise is on the shelves by Monday afternoon. So, pencil Home Goods in on your Monday dance card, it's the day to shop!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Five Guys Burgers and Fries that is. Sunday our daughter was home for a visit so we spent the day running around. First stop was for lunch. The weather was perfect so we ate outside.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After eating, we headed out of town to a pool that doesn't require membership, is never crowded, and if the loud train tooting as it passes nearby doesn't bother you, it's a great place! Hubby and daughter swam while I sat in the shade and read.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next stop, Sweet Frog, a local frozen yogurt shop that's so cute. With loads of choices for toppings, everyone is sure to be happy. Sweet Frog has about 14 locations in the central Virginia area. We're lucky there are many near our house.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Last stop, Patient First, one of those "open late 365 days a year, no appointment needed" doctor offices. Daughter developed an ear ache after swimming ... the doc found she already had a bad infection in her right ear, so we got antibiotics for that and headed home.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
. Stress eating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
. Boredom eating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
. Junk food addiction eating</div>
<br />
And I, who weighed 120 at our wedding 24 years ago, was up to 185. I didn't like it, but things in my life were such that I had neither the energy nor motivation to do anything about it. Talk about frustration. For someone who (in her former life) loved to dress smartly and look sharp in her clothes ... shopping in the women's department was a real downer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx4B9qKrwifV4I62wsaXFV4apTSX-OKQnhUtNKvVea-2FwO4legHwVFUmzJPj4dpY0F4TAsqrdyKAwkYGSrY0b9cfcIrDERri4N5jfuIPRz5b9WUVVU-L2wxy3iIw3rcyxgpiSzsxafX8/s1600/IMG_1072.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx4B9qKrwifV4I62wsaXFV4apTSX-OKQnhUtNKvVea-2FwO4legHwVFUmzJPj4dpY0F4TAsqrdyKAwkYGSrY0b9cfcIrDERri4N5jfuIPRz5b9WUVVU-L2wxy3iIw3rcyxgpiSzsxafX8/s400/IMG_1072.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So how did you finally get motivated, you ask? I'm glad to tell you.<br />
<br />
It started when my 5'2" friend Jenny*, weighing 220, went in for medical tests. The scans revealed the possibility of a heart problem. Further tests gave the "all clear," but the doctor looked at Jenny and said, "There's nothing wrong with your heart. You're just fat!"<br />
<br />
Ouch! But Jenny walked out of his office that day saying, "No man will tell me again that I'm fat!"<br />
<br />
Using the doc's 1200 calorie diet, Jenny, dedicated to her plan, lost 80 pounds over a nine-month period. She looks fabulous.<br />
<br />
I was inspired and jumped on the bandwagon. I didn't have a copy of her 1200 calorie diet but instead made up my own diet.<br />
<br />
My first dieting meal plan:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!</b> </span></div>
<br />
<b>Breakfast</b>: oatmeal with a dash of salt and milk.<br />
Water, water, water throughout the morning<br />
<br />
<b>Lunch</b>: can of tuna (in water) drained with 1 tsp mayo with glass of water<br />
Water, water, water throughout the afternoon<br />
<br />
<b>Dinner</b>: Salad including cheese and meat, low-fat dressing. Water<br />
<br />
Within three weeks I lost 11 pounds! But I began to feel ... well, not so good. Rather sick, actually. I went online to determine my calorie consumpation daily; it was only 600 calories daily. A starvation diet. Bad!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>DO NOT DO THE ABOVE!</b></span></div>
<br />
I stopped dieting but found that smaller portions now satisfied me. I returned to my daily large McDonald's sweet tea and M&Ms. I didn't lose more weight but didn't gain any either.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Sweet Tea" src="http://www.mcdonalds.com/content/dam/McDonalds/item/d-mcdonalds-sweet_tea.jpg" height="167" id="product_image" style="margin-top: 0px;" title="Sweet Tea" width="320" /><br />
<br />
A few months later I decided to try again, this time the goal was to lose 9 pounds, which would make a total of 20 lost.<br />
<br />
My modified meal plan:<br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast</b>: oatmeal with a dash of salt, milk, fruit<br />
Large McDonald's sweet tea to sip on throughout the day <br />
<br />
<b>Lunch:</b> Can of tuna (in water, drained) with 1 tsp mayo and 1 Tbsp pickle juice, bagel with cream cheese, fruit, water<br />
Some water throughout the afternoon<br />
<br />
<b>Dinner</b>: Meat and veggie, but by now small portions satisfied me. M&Ms in the evening. <br />
<br />
Within a few weeks I'd lost the 9 pounds, putting me at 165. My clothes were getting looser. I looked up the ideal weight for a 60-year-old, 5'7" woman: 140 pounds.<br />
<br />
You can determine your healthy weight here:<a href="http://www.calculator.net/ideal-weight-calculator.html"> <b>Ideal Weight Calculator</b></a> <br />
<br />
I knew I'd have to do this in increments, so my next goal was to lose 5 pounds.<br />
<br />
<b>Good-by sweet tea. Good-by M&Ms</b>. And the 5 pounds left quickly.<br />
<br />
Finally I was ready for a smaller dress size.<br />
<br />
I'd like to lose another 20 pounds, down to my ideal 140 pound weight, but for now I'm in my "maintain phase." I look forward to getting on the bandwagon again, aiming for 10 pounds the next time.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
(loose slacks!)</div>
<br />
<br />
This is not a traditional diet plan, but it did work for me. Maybe you're the type who would print a 1200 calorie diet from an online site and lose weight the traditional way. <b><span style="color: red;">Definitely check with your doctor first.</span></b> <br />
<br />
For now, I'm happy. My doctor's happy. My hubby's happy. And I'm especially thankful that I no longer worry about developing diabetes due to a constant sugar overload. And hopefully a reduction in chances of heart disease, which runs in both sides of my family.<br />

These were taken by my husband who is a better photographer than I. <br />
<br />
He's taken classes. He has an edge on me with that.<br />
<br />
Some were taken in our springtime yard; others at a nearby park.<br />
<br />
Hope they brought you loads of joy.<br />

Hubby and I spend most cold winter evenings snuggled up near it while reading and chatting.<br />
<br />
And that's great. But what happens when temperatures start to rise, as they have the last few weeks here in Virginia? Well, usually nothing happens. We spend the warm weather months staring at a black rectangle. Repeat after me: ugly!<br />
<br />
Recently I spotted a great idea on Pinterest (sorry, I failed to record who posted it originally) but I knew immediately it was just what our black rectangle needed.<br />
<br />
Since we're on a "do not spend one penny you don't have to" saga this year, I shopped the house. And honestly, I don't think I could have done better, not even at Home Goods (my favorite store on earth!).<br />
