Hello Stetzner Family! Merry New Year 2008!
I can't believe how much snow we have here in Idaho Falls. It is abundant believe me. The evergreens are heavy with snow covered branches and the trees make our streets look like a Kincade Christmas Card. It has lifted our holday spirits and sent us out side frolicking in the snow making snow angels, snow men and sleigh riding. We top that off with a nice warm cup of hot chocolate with lots of snow balls (marshmellows) on top!
Keep the love coming! Deanna

My latest favorite web sites

Just in case any one wants to shop online for me... (or anyone else I guess) I like http://www.gifts.com/. On this website you can answer easy questions to narrow down the personality of the person you are shopping for. This is kind of fun!

For some of us younger kids, Ashley and I both really like http://www.babygirlboutique.com/. Here at this site you could spend hours and hours checking out all they have from shoes, clothing, accessories and vintage jewelery and hair ornaments.

Here's to happy shopping!

Love to all!

Do you have a favorite website to share?

Do you have a favorite website you'd like everyone to know about? Let's start a list to share with everyone!
I LOVE listening to music while I work. I found two websites that play free music while I compute!
The first one is www.accuradio.com. When you go to that site, you can choose from the most amazing channels of music and each channel has subchannels that you can click on to make your choice even more customized. You can find anything from classical to vintage rock to new age jazz, to Celtic and even Native American offerings. When you try it, look at the 'toolbar' at the top and click on "more" for even more offerings. They even have a comedy channel and a Holiday channel for Christmas music.
My second find is www.pandora.com. This music channel is also free. When you open their site, you are asked to type in an artist (or group) or a song. The site then plays that song and offers more music in the same style for you to give a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' to.
You can experiment with either of these sites to find exactly what you like.
Try these. I think you'll find something you like, no matter what your style.
Love you all,
Michele
