Pearl Street in the Snow

Week 8 of "Sabbath" equals guess what. . .More SNOW! Imagine that! This has been one big snowy experience so far. We're embracing it, though. It's not slowing us down. But O, how I long for a sunny, warm day to take a hike and look at the new leaves and budding flowers, all the while tracking NO MUD into my van. Yes, the day will come soon. I'm praying for it. But until then, we will continue to enjoy the white stuff just like we did Sunday afternoon on Pearl Street in Boulder.

Some days, no matter how intentional you want to be, the "plan" just doesn't work out. This Monday was one of those days. We had to make a choice and say, "no Sabbath" because of some prior commitments that we needed to stick with. I must say, I am surprised at how bummed I was. Eight weeks into it, this has become our way of life. We did try our best, though, to get some quality time in on Sunday afternoon. As you'll see below, we added a few more giggles and a bit more silliness to the adventure as we loaded up the van after church to head for Boulder (only 1 exit down the highway from our house).

Bottom line, it was just fun. There was no breeze and the snow was falling heavy and perfect. It was cold, but what's new? I think I have stated that in every Sabbath blog entry so far, so why break the pattern? Most of all, it was just relaxing and simple and easy and peaceful. . .even with 5 loud and crazy little girls. We had good conversation at lunch about what we like best about how God made our friends and even hit the candy shop before the day was done.


I think Claire and her best friend, Kate, were practicing their yoga, "OM" in this pic?? If you click on this pic it will zoom in and you will see 2 yoga girls, 2 hippies, a Punky Brewster look alike and a pastor. . .now that's Boulder!

Here's a video I found on YouTube of Powell's Sweet Shoppe. Beware! This is not a good video to watch if you are still trying to keep you New Year's Resolution!
