awarded this to me this past week and I am finally having time to put it on my site and award it also.

The award goes to Kathy and her hubby for the wonderful trip to see and play in the snow at Mt. Rainier for my birthday. Just Kathy has a blog but the trip was made possible by both of them taking turns driving. It was a most generous gift because I don't drive and I could never have gone there without their help! Of course, I enjoy Kathy's blog writings and photos too!

Although I have other blogging friends I might like to give it to, it would take away from the special presentation to Kathy and her hubby so I won't this time. I LOVE SNOW and this winter we have been teased by flurries 6 times already but none that really stayed on the ground to photograph. It was a trip I will never forget! The only negative thing about it was that it was too short! (See Kathy, it didn't bother me that I fell down 5 times trying to snow shoe!)

Saturday was my birthday and my friend Kathy/WA and her hubby came down to Vancouver and picked me up for a SNOW day at Mt. Rainier. Not only did I get to see the snow piled up there and beautifully draped over the trees but I got to try my hand at using snow shoes. It was my first time and no practice when we went with a guide on a short trek. . . (I didn't do well.) I did manage to get a few photos. . .

What a birthday blessing to have friends who know how much I love snow and take me to it. this year. Yes, I know this has been a blessing in different ways several times on my blog already but this is a different slant this time.

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; . . . Proverbs 25:13 ...
