Walt Whitman's poem "A Noiseless Patient Spider" is the inspiration for the title of this blog, which is an attempt to remain connected to the people who have been part of my life.

dreaming of a white christmas?
No need to dream, we've got a spare bed and plenty of snow. It started on Tuesday and snowed through Wednesday. The temperature yesterday and today has been well below freezing, so the white stuff is like new. Today, the wind has picked up, making the weather perfect for viewing from inside with something hot to drink and new presents to play with, which is just what we are doing. Paul and I are checking out all the new features on the XBOX 360 that Mom and Dad bought for us, and Tim is discovering all there is to discover of his many new toys.
the snowplows don't come through neighborhoods, so we'll have snow on our street until the weather changes
our front porch adorned with decorations borrowed from my mother and father
the view of our street from our front porch
the heads on the reindeer at our neighbor's house move
the tree, house, and candle get put up high every evening when tim finds them too interesting to leave alone
16:00 and tim is still delighted with his train table

Seeing the excitement and joy on Tim's face as he tears the wrappings from presents and squeals with delight causes us to recall our childhood as well as Kathleen's. It's a wonderful time for us all. Gee Gee and gramps
