It's snowing here today. A Minnesota-like snow, the kind with tiny, whispy snowflakes that just float around in the sky. I've spent much of my day baking and looking out the window. It reminds me of one of those days when I'd come home from school and mom would have all of the counters and tables covered with dozens and dozens of cookies. I wish I had a picture. It was grand. I miss those days. I miss my mom and dad.

So, I have no picture of the cookies, no picture of the snow (computer issue), but I found this photo of my mom and dad on a waterfall hike the last time they came to Washington. I hear rumors that they are thinking about coming for another visit. I hope they're true! 

Cold Minnesota-like snow + cookies in the oven = one homesick chick!
