Surprise

A worry spot in my life is gone! Some good things still happen to this old lady.

Todays Good things

My son came up today and I spent time with my 2 youngest greatgrands. Cyrus and Alexus. We went and bought some things to help with keeping my house warm. While Bob put weatherstriping around my front door I spent time with the little ones. He could only put plastic on two of the front windows because there wasn't enough tape. He had to leave before it got to dark and the roads became slippery. While he was here it was good.

Cabin Fever

I have definately got it. Computor is acting up and I can't send messages out or reply to any. I just lurk around the blogs. I am getting tired of below zero temperatures. And final straw the weird dreams. Last night I dreamed that I was given this
2 1/2 inch onion to plant in Oprah's garden. That size you harvest not plant. The ground was all worked up and soft for about 2 feet down. I pushed it down so hard that I pealed the skin off of it. But I let it stay and started to look for a small pepper plant to fill the space I was given. But I woke up then. Dream makes no sense and is only good for a laugh!
Cabin Fever!!!!! Stay warm. Have a blessed week.

Happy Birthday George!

It was cold 43 years ago when you were born and its cold today! Hope you have a good day anyways. Love, Mom

Can you figure this?

Yesterday my sister had 88 degrees at 4pm. Today at 7am I have -8 degrees. That is 96 degrees difference. With wind chill we would have a difference of way over 100 degrees.

Careful What You Wish For

You may get it! You will also get all the problems that go with it and some you couldn't even vision. That is where I am at now. Having a home to call your own-a place of quiet peace and contemplation does not always stay that way. Oh well, I am here now and will make the best of it without saying another word.

What a Day

Well when it rains it pours. With all that is going on they came to work on the house. It was not a problem free fix. I am getting a lesson in quiet prayer and calm demeaner. After this day I will really sleep tonight. They are still working on the house and I have somewhat of a mess to clean up and I shall after they leave. Have a great blessed day.

Cyrus

Well he is here! I talked to my granddaughter-MOM. She said she was okey. My son was holding the baby. I don't know where they came up with the name Cyrus but I have nothing to say about names. He weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces. I hope to get more info later. A prayer answered!!!

Importance?

Every one is talking about the importance of tomorrow and what is happening in Washington DC. NOT ME!
I am thinking about what is going to happen around 7:30 in the morning in a hospital in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin.
My 6th greatgrandchild is coming by way of a "C section". I am concerned about this little guy and I will be that way until my son calls and lets me know everything is okey.

Amazing story.

Since it hasn't been above zero for the last few days I have been staying in the house. Yesterday afternoon a plane with over 150 people on board landed in the Hudson River. It was without power because some birds hit the engines of the plane.
The pilot did a perfect landing at a perfect place. Ferrys were there in minutes. The people were wet but were standing on the wings of the plane. Afew were in the water. The plane was surounded by ferrys,coast guard,fire boats all helping in the rescues. Everyone survived. The pilot is being called a hero. Naturally this is the story of the morning.
Can you see God's hand in this? The perfect time of day,the water very smooth and plenty boats available. The pilot known for his knowledge of safety in flight.
God had it all worked out!

At this moment it is -13 here. It may get up above zero today but with wind it is not going to be to good. I went out this morning with my garbage bag and things for recycle. If they can come and get it I can get it outside. Otherwise I will have to wait 2 weeks. Don't want to keep it that long.
Have a great day knowingGod has it all worked out.

Liver and onions

Tonight my neighbor sent over a plate of hot liver and onions. She knows how much I like it. What a surprise! It was gone in less than5 minutes.

Expectations

Sometimes things don't go like you expect or want them to. Thats what has happen in my life lately. My attitude is not what it should be so I am being quiet-no smarting off or crabing on my blog. Thats not why I have it and you don't deserve it.

Greatgrandma's Joy

Today my son came up and had my 18 month old greatgranddaughter with him. What fun! While I was doing my wash she played at laundramat. She didn't whine but kept herself entertained. When we ate lunch, it was fun just to watch her eat mac and cheese. She used that fork pretty darn well. She is a happy child. I was able to get somethings I needed to do done.
At the mall she walked and smiled at everyone. She saw a little girl and walked over and wanted to play.
Not to sure what we are going to do tomorrow but I am sure I will enjoy it. There are a few things I would like my son to do for me.

Early Morning Joy

There are mornings when we wake up and we are barely functioning and others when we are ready to conquer the world.
Then there are mornings like this morning!! Up just before 5, rush to the bathroom,(don't be shocked-we all do) and then return to your bed. The room is dark and you hope to take alittle nap. LOL Something is wrong, your window doesn't look right. You try to focus in the dark but no luck. On goes the light,the insulation on the window is half off hanging down by a strip of duct tape! Can you believe it? You know you can't leave it like that. Oh well, sleep is over rated. Get the step stool,more duct tape,sissors. Say a quick prayer for safety and go to it. Don't we all make repairs a little after 5 in the morning. Move things out of the way so you can get to the window and repair the best you can. Dollar Store duct tape is not as good as others but this is what you have- so use it. The window is covered and now you can rest-OH Sure! Put things away and turn on the computor. Check your e-mails! Oh good, you have a winter storm message and then you see two messages from a friend. Oh well, it is 6 and sleep will not come now. Blog the start of your day and then forget it.
