I love that prayer!

Rose said...: Joey, I usually think of this quote from Shelley around February, but with the fierce winter weather we have had so far this December, I think we need to remember it now!

Love all your photos; Michigan does indeed look like a picture postcard. We have had more ice than snow lately. I wouldn't mind a little snow for Christmas, but most of all I hope everyone can travel to their destinations for Christmas.; Sunday, December 21, 2008
