Snowy Iowa Morning

The Monday after Christmas Steve and I flew up to Iowa to visit his mother and our brothers.  The first morning we were there was a gorgeous, sunny-yet-foggy morning just a couple days after a snow.  It was about 8 degrees and I walked most of the way from Steve’s brother’s home where we were staying to his mother’s house which was maybe a half a mile.  I took photos along the way and also at his “home-place”.

Steve and his family moved to this farm in 1959 and his mother still lives there.  I am glad I took these photos because the next day it warmed up and melted all the snow.

  2. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of
    your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
    connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of
    text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  4. This design is wicked! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.

    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to
    start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Great job.

    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that,
    how you presented it. Too cool!

  5. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell
    and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the
    shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
    ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
    entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
    There are so many options out there that I'm completely confused .. Any suggestions? Bless you!

  8. I am wondering which blogging platform you are using?

    I'm new to blogging and have been thinking about using the Tripod platform. Do you consider this is a good platform to start with? I would be really thankful if I could ask you some questions through email so I can learn a bit more before getting started. When you have some free time, please be sure to contact me at: ernestocrook@gmail.com. Cheers

  11. Today, I went to the beach front with my children.
    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear
