Here is Gracey-Blue with my dear friend "Sophie". I hosted one of our "beautiful women friends" dinners last Thursday. We actually had breakfast for dinner. - Quiche, fruit, muffins, pancakes, bacon, orange juice and coffee. mmmmmmmmm Gracey-Blue' fit right in with all the beautifulladies. :-)
Here is a picture of yesterdays "Nor-Easter'!! It wasn't as intense as predicted but we ended up with about nine inches of snow and harsh winds. Woo! 
This is the view from our front door this morning. Our pond is partially covered!! Beautiful, huh?
And here is Gracey-Blue sniffing around in the snow, off our back deck. She loves the snow - she is part Husky, after all. :-) These pictures were taken about 7:30 this morning. The sun is out now, bright and warm - melting some of the walkways, decks and icy roads. Although, later tonight it is going to get quite cold and all the melting will freeze causing 'black ice' which makes for very dangerous travel.
Skipp and I had a wonderful two days together - Tuesday and Wednesday being 'our weekend'. :-) I am so blessed to have such a love. We both are. We are natural and relaxed, find humor and joy in one another and in the simplest of life's offerings. We so love our home where many find solace, music, understanding, love and laughter - and of course good food and wine! :-)
I am feeling settled again, The shift is subsiding. I am standing on ground - having adjusted to many levels of new realities around me and for myself too. I am surrendering to some things, tweaking and exploring some other things and letting go of some things and even celebrating some things. Before I felt I had no compass - no direction - I was hanging on while the swirling and movement and shift forged on around and under me and within me. It was quite unsettling actually. And yet it was fascinating, frightening, purposeful and enlightening. Phew.
Life is like sailing - some times it is smooth and some times we have to hold on to the mast for dear life!!
Enjoy this video,.

Grace looks wonderfully happy in her new home. Looks like you are adapting to each other :-)
Sounds like life is good. How fun to read about someone who is feeling so good.
HI SHEN-
Oh yes, Gracey-Blue is part of the family - a real sweet heart and very content here. And I have moved to a more relaxed and accepting place. phew.
Love you
Gail

Sailing is a favorite song Gail!
Glad that shifting feeling has calmed and you're sailing again!
Be careful in the snow!
Go with the flow so to speak! One day at a time and all that. I do like your description, life is like sailing! You got that right Gail. Maybe Gracey-Blue is good therapy!

Hi Gail
Love the pictures of Gracey-Blue in the snow!
She is so adorable!
Lots of snow there, we have very little here.
I enjoyed your snow pictures!
Thanks for sharing them!
You are indeed blessed with the love you share with your husband!
It's truly something to cherish!
Sail on, sail on Gail, to lovely calm days that bring you much joy!
That is my wish for you!
Margie:)
You're right, life is like sailing. Sometimes we can put up all sails, sometimes we have to tack into the wind, sometimes we are in the doldrums and sometimes we are just riding out the storm.
There's a black cocker spaniel lying across my feet as I write this!
Keep warm.
HI TRAMP-
I went to your blog profile page but you have NO blog!! That's okay :-) And yes, sailing, like life, demands much to navigate and yet sometimes it just hap[pens. :=)
And I love the image of the black cocker spaniel at your feet. Gracey-Blue is right next to me too. :-)
Love Gail
peace.....
HI MARGIE-
I love your wonderful comments, always so gentle, true, loving and understanding. :-) Thank you for 'seeing' all the gifts in my humble world. :-)
Love to you always
Gail

HI CINNER-
I am SO glad you are feeling better and have more energy. YAY!!!!!!
ANd yes, Gracey-Blue is growing every day - she has very long legs and huge paws.
I love you girl, "hey"
Gail
peace.....
Oh, Gail, that's actually one of my favorite songs! I remember I gave it to one of my Uncles as a birthday present one year (he loved sailing) and he was so touched by it. He's passed on now and I always think of him when I hear it. This was like a little 'shout out' from Heaven.
Gracey Blue got so big so fast! I forgot how fast they grow! I'm sure she brings you lots of joy and love!
I'm glad things feel better, and I wouldn't be surprised if Gracey Blue had a little to do with it (along with the love and appreciation you have of life, and of your soul mate!).
Beautiful pictures!
But I'm ready for snow to be gone!
Feel good!
Stay warm!
Love to you,
Eileen
Thanks for all your kind comments sent my way Gail.
Yea life is sailing, sometimes peaceful, sometimes rough, but it still is life!

Ciao Gail,
the view from your front door is great :)
And your puppy is sooo sweet.
I'm glad you feel settled again. Exploring is always positive.
Yes I'm a bit slow, I'll try to put something up this weekend.
Not sure if I've got anything worth saying and some of the fancy technology is new.
What I write might sometimes seem a bit dry but that's just my way.
Now the dog (Lady) is telling me that I must get away from this computer and take her out in the snow.
HI EILEEN-
So glad you shared about the special memory/meaning of the song and your Uncle. :-)
