90% OFF and Bowling

Yesterday I walked into Walmart and ran into a sale advertising 90% off of all Christmas items.  There was one aisle of stuff left, a collection of various unwanted decorations and supplies.  I decided to take a quick pass through, just in case something caught my eye.  Well, guess what?  There in front of me was a sign, an affirmation of this new journaling adventure--an ANGEL (which I think kind of sort of looks like me, except I don't have a hat that looks like a Christmas tree or red-stripe socks) with my newly professed focus--JOY!!  It was a sign! (duh--Angela Joy!)  And even better, it was only $1.  It is now at home in my office.  Kind of cool.

While downloading the picture of this angel that I just took off my new camera (yea!) I found the few pictures I took in Midway with the family during our New Year's Vacation.  We had a great time skiing and snowshoeing in frigid temperatures.  On Saturday we decided to stay indoors and went bowling.  It was a hoot.  Notice the great form displayed by Camille and Brittney.  I'm proud to say I had the top score for the first game, but for our second game we played boys vs. girls, and the boys had the better combined score.  Don't they look so happy and proud in their after-the-game photo shoot?  (Actually, Stuart looks like he may have been up to something else. . .)
