Snowfall

Hi - the snow is falling this morning and it is so beautiful. My favorite (and only) puppy is loving it so much. She runs around and draws curly, swirly pictures with her nose. She is finally settling down and becoming more relaxed.... more like the Newfie that she is. We all love her and I can honestly say that she has become the best distraction for a stressed out life.

On another note, I realized that I did not explain my Blog name. It sounds so ugly, but I love the meaning behind it. My sister-in-law gave me a book a long time ago called GRITS. It is a book about Girls Raised In The South (which is me). I now live in New Jersey... so that is why I called my site NJGrits. NJ is pretty far from Virginia, but I love the town I live in and I have the most wonderful neighborhood. It's very much like the one I grew up in. Everyone knows everyone else. The kids all play together and everyone helps everyone else out. It's great and I would rather not be selling. sigh.

Today, even with the snow, we have people coming to see the house, or as I like to call it "cell block 139". Did you realize that NJ is the most densely populated state in the country? I swear that every person who lives here has visited my house one time!!! If it weren't so painful, it would be really funny. Trying to be optimistic, as least my house is clean. We have it decorated for Christmas (I know it's really soon). I thought maybe that might give me an edge because I love my decorations and I think it makes the house look warm and inviting. We'll see. Gosh, I really don't know what I will write about if the house sells. I may have to find a new hobby or something.

Bye for now.
