说是大森林里的小木屋little house in the big woods ,其实这些木屋一点儿都不小。爷爷奶奶为长周末租的这一座Tahoe湖度假屋上下三层,六个卧室,男孩儿们分别在两个厅里,二十口人都住下, 是大家迟到的圣诞礼物。可惜今年家庭好友帕西拉没有来,她早已成为这个大家庭的一员,两千米的高山她有些不适,所以十九口人。还有一个太阳房,冬天还是称之为雪景房吧。看得出房子的主人也是大家庭,很多孩子孙子辈儿的人家,全家合影站了好几排。车库里大大小小的雪橇,冰鞋,滑雪靴。。。这样的生活是一份难得的奢侈。按雪儿堂哥的话说,“雪,你的生日我没有什么可送的,有表兄妹在白雪皑皑大森林小木屋一起为你庆祝,汝复何求?”what else can you ask for?
爷爷奶奶也真的不容易,爷爷和姥爷同岁,奶奶和姥姥同岁,姥姥十几年前就从中国退休了,奶奶现在还坚守着岗位,乐此不疲。爷爷倒是退休了,兴高采烈和他的艺术朋友们一起交流,作画,比上班还忙。他们最大的乐趣就是看着孙子孙女一起玩,一起乐。姥姥呢? 心被东方西方的孙子孙女们牵着扯着,爱代代相传。也许是看到孩子们长得太快吧,奶奶催着他们赶紧跟爷爷玩一玩雪。Snow won't be here forever...
远处高山上白色的雪道是南太浩湖south lake Tahoe heavenly雪场,属于内华达州。
洁白的大地
看,小亭子前面的高尔夫电瓶车已经被大雪覆盖了。
半山腰上的火车轨道是以前中国和爱尔兰移民修建的。
玉洁冰清
& nbsp I hope you Dance
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance~~I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin' Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin' Don't let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance~~I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along) I hope you dance~~I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone?)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance~~(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along) I hope you dance~~I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone?)
回复安娜晴天的评论:
亲爱的阿晴妹妹和小宝贝,送咖啡和热巧克力~~~~你们那里很快天明了,刚出去走走看到腊月里的满月,祈祷插上翅膀。替雪儿谢谢晴姨和安娜小妹妹,愿孩子们在爱里成长,有信心有勇气。
你和小宝身体不适,周末静养,静心,把工作学习压力舒展,记得你说的微笑,微笑。
派特舅妈坚强平静,我看到她的脸色苍白,但我想到的是她仿佛放射光芒。象蜡烛努力地发光like a candle that radiates light。感谢妹妹的祈祷,爱的传递,穿越时空。我在圣心堂坐了很久,想到你们。
想到小安娜收到惊喜兴奋快乐的样子,替你们高兴,不孤独的人生路。愿你跳舞,生命之舞~~~愿新的一周充满平安喜乐,主佑平安,圣母抱抱(^O^☆♪
