Help and Language

Hey folks, do any of you have an idea about what I can do with those brown pill bottles? I hate to just put them in the garbage.

Language When I was in grade school we had German classes. In high school I took Latin for two years. ( I was planning on going into some medical field) Didn't go to college but got married instead; moved to Panama and had to learn Spanish. Then when I went back to work I learned Sign language so I could work with a resident of the home I worked at. Now I have very limited knowledge of these languages. I don't use them unless I am angry and don't want everyone to know what I said.
Isn't it amazing what we can learn and then forget so easily.

Where Did It Go

Have you ever had a day you could do without? I have had a few this week. BUT Tuesday afternoon was scarey and funny for a few hours. My son and my ggd were here. In the morning I checked up on the checking account. In the afternoon when I was looking for my checkbook it was no where to be found. I hadn't left the house so where was the book? My son and I tipped over couch,loveseat and my lift chair. We checked cushions,still no book. I checked the garbage since my son once found his phone there. Little ggd has struck again. I checked the bedroom under my bed and by the computer. We checked the bathroom,the appliences everywhere. It has to be here no one has left the house. We searched for over an hour. The day was bad enough without this. Where could this little sweetheart have put it? On the floor of my bedroom closet. I guess God used her to give me something else to think about for a little while.

Peace and Steady

I am making things peaceful with steady footing. When the storm brews around you keep yourself on steady footings and don't try to control things you can't. It's easier on your body and your mind. Be thankful for the good things and try to look for the good in everything. It is always a surprise what we are capable of getting through! Negative thoughts don't go away you just have to not linger on them.
God Bless

Spring Poem

Old Poem from my youth.
Spring has sprung
The grass has riz
Now I wonder where the flowers is

The first day and they are saying maybe snow tonight. LOL

Much ado about nothing

With the few warm days we are having my ski hills(really high snow piles) are going down and the swimming hole is coming back in the front yard. Its the joy of living at the bottom of a hill. Ski hills are still 6 feet high.

Isn't it amazing that my life is so simple I need to blog about the weather.

Great Neighbors

This week my son didn't come up for health reasons. But with below zero wind chill temps I stayed indoors. Last night my neighbor called and said they were going up to Iron Mountain and wondered if I wanted to go along. It was -15 wind chill temp when I got in their car. (nice and warm car) While the husband took the car for oil change wife and I wandered around Wal Mart.
We spent over an hour and I was able to do shopping for some things I needed plus a few groceries. Then there were more errands they needed to run and I went along and looked around. Then they took me to lunch. We went to another store to shop and then headed for home. We stopped at post office so I could check my mail for the first time since Saturday. Neighbors like this make my life so much better. Their warmth makes the cold winter so much better.
This hermit is blessed even when she is in the winter hermit mode.

Waited For & Didn't Get YEA

The TV which is 90 miles south of my house had been warning of a very bad storm coming up from the south with rain, sleet,
freezing drizzle, and deep snow. There was to be winds and fog also. This morning pictures of snow covered roads, and you couldn't even see the road in some parts. We didn't get anything where I live. I am not sad thats for sure. But now they are talking about another storm on Tuesday which is also to be bad. Thats the way we get to spring here. The weather changes and you can't prepare for it except to stay put where you are and only venture out for brief trip when you know you have a half hour time period.
This was a very bad storm and I am sorry for the people that were hurt by it. Will it be our turn on Tuesday? Who knows?

Busy but Happy Day

Today is the birthday of my eldest son. He was born on Ash Wednesday in 1954. I always said I gave up pregnancy for Lent.
My second son came up so i could get things done. He brought up my youngest great granddaughter. He also had pictures for me of my 5 year old great grandson Tailor and picture of Cyrus who was born on January 20th.
I did my laundry. The place was empty so we had a good time and Alexus could show off her great personality. I picked up my meds. I was able to go to bread store and stock up. Then we ate lunch and then my large grocery shopping was done. I was glad to get that all done. It is easier when I have some one to load and unload all the groceries. We checked out Goodwill but all I bought were 2 dolls with crochet dresses for Alexus.
It was a good day but I get tired.

Weather

I dislike the cold and was upset by it until I found out my son is dealing with about 15" of snow by the end of the day. YUK
March is certainly coming in as a lion. I can't wait until it goes out like a lamb.
