You mean the antique ice box? I love it too...lol I wasn't able to finish doing what I wanted to do because I ran out of the stuff. I love using "snow". The stuff you buy in a bag? Almost like a waxy type material, but it's never melted on me. Anyway, I always adorn the tree and everything else in the stuff, but I ran out. I took more pictures...and I'm not a very good picture taker. Never have been. Never will be.

Krista woke her dad up (I didn't hear her), yesterday morning about 6am. She had a bad pain on her side. John thought it might be her appendix, so he was taking her to the ER. I went to get up, but he pushed me back down and told me to sleep (I hadn't slept very well the night before). I was at the hospital around 9 (aren't I a bad mom?) and it wasn't her appendix, it's a kidney stone. I wanted her to stay in the hospital. They're better equipped to handle her and her pain than I am at home. It just made more sense to me. So anyway, as of last night, she still hadn't passed it. We get there this morning and first off she tells me to guess what she had for breakfast. She's on a liquid diet, so I have no clue...imagine my surprise when she says she had french toast!! And sausage...lol I didn't know if that meant she'd passed it or what, so I hit the nurse button. No, she hadn't passed it, but our doctor (and with insurance anymore), wouldn't keep her any longer. We'll take her tomorrow to get another CT Scan of her belly to see if it's moved and then up to the doctor. She told me she got right on her computer to tell Nathan (her boyfriend) and he's not on. She thinks he's probably mad because we were supposed to go shopping and then he'd come over after and he'd come over today. But she wasn't home, she was in the hospital..and he doesn't know that. So if he's mad? Gosh is she going to be upset!

O.k. I took a couple pictures of our fireplace and mantel....here's the first...
