by Kathleen Givens

In Marysville, Washington, the Christmas spirit is alive and well, thanks to one woman, the first customer of the day, who drove through the Starbucks’ there.  She bought her own drink, and that of the person behind her.  Who did the same thing.  And so did the next customer. And the next, until 350 people [...]

by Julia London

The Whine Sisters will be popping in and out over the next week or so—you know how it is at the end of the year.  So much to do, so many families to navigate, so many pies to be eaten.  I thought this would be a good time to sit back and reflect on 2007, [...]

Christmas at the Movies

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

Christmas means new blockbuster movies opening. Will Smith’s Legend got the jump on competition by opening early to record numbers. The Erwins go to the movies every Christmas Eve as a way to find some peace and family time after the shopping hassles and before a very busy Christmas Day. This year, we’re planning to [...]

White Christmas

by Sherri Browning Erwin
image

I won’t be dreaming of a White Christmas, but I’ll probably have one anyway with about eighteen inches of it piled up outside and frigid temps. Still, it’s a charming little Christmas tune, and I loved the movie with Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby, and Rosemary Clooney. My favorite holiday song is Greensleeves. I know it’s [...]

’Tis the season for snowstorms up north. We had a big one Thursday and a big one last night but fortunately, last night’s held off until well after midnight so that we were able to go out as a family to celebrate my grandfather’s 90th birthday. Let me tell you, the man makes 90 look [...]

by Kathleen Givens
image

On Monday our guest bloggers Chris and Jacquie D’Alessandro talked with the Whine Sisters about healthy eating and we learned a lot.  But eating right is only one part of a healthy lifestyle and weight loss needs even more than avoiding the wrong foods.  Yes, you know what I’m going to say, don’t you?  The [...]

Simple Tips: • Eat breakfast • Don’t eat right before you go to bed • Drink lots of water • Just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean it has to taste bad. • Only eat when hungry, and only eat until full (helps if you eat slowly) • Never starve yourself. If you’re hungry, eat. • [...]

O, Christmas Tree

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Yesterday, we picked out the tree and brought it home. I’m waiting for the branches to open up so I can string the lights on. It’s my job and every year it pushes me that much closer to getting one of the pre-lit artificial trees. Every year, we seem to get a smaller real tree. [...]

Walking on Jane

by Kathleen Givens

I couldn’t do it.  Couldn’t put a foot on Jane Austen’s grave in Winchester Cathedral.  I paid my homage to one of The Whine Sisters’ favorite writers with a simple donation to the Cathedral.  I took pictures of her grave and the plaque on the wall there, but I couldn’t just walk over her gravestone, [...]
