ICE And No Shopping

Well, we got the storm. Snow and ice that has me in my house. I could not have gone shopping if I wanted to. My porch has a coating of snow and ice and I don't trust myself to go on it. It is supposed to warm up a little and if it melts I will be able to get to my shovel and salt. They are all in the back yard and I have my back door blocked. So I will have to walk around my house to get them. An adventure for sure.

News

Well it has been an interesting few day. Monday I get company ; son,his fiance, and two great grand kids 5 yr.old boy and 3 yr.old girl. Interesting evening, 3 year old didn't want to go to bed and kept coming down stairs. On the third trip I took her into my room and turned on computer. Christmas music didn't settle her down so i switch to showing her saved pictures on my computer. Success she settle down and went to bed.
In morning I had to go to doctor so we left early enough to go to do my laundry first. Then off to doctor. I accomplished another pill to take and an appointment for another test. Easy test so I agreed--an ultra sound of my kidneys. I know they are working. Joy! Joy! Went to get my meds and then finally lunch. I'm tired. Son tired since he has had to keep the kids occupied for the whole morning. So I only did a small amount of shopping while they all sat in car.
When we got to my house he had to jump start my car to get it in yard. With snow coming it can't be on the street. He checked to see how much propane I had -don't want to be with out heat. They then headed home.
This morning a friend from church came over and took me to get my mail and a few more things at the store. Then we went for lunch.
This has been an interesting week but has shown me that I have so much to be Thankful for. Too bad we don't have Thanksgiving Day all over this world.

Brrr

This morning it is 22F outside but with the wind it feels like 12F outside. I hope the venison tastes good. To go out and sit to wait for that deer or even take part in a drive in the woods all I can say is Brrrr. Of course, there are people that hunt for the joy of hunting and donate the deer to a food pantry for food for the needy. They should be thanked.

Peace and Quiet

Hunting season starts in the morning and peace and quiet are gone for nine days. Today there were hunters sighting their guns because you could hear them shooting. It is amazing how this country town gets busy. I am glad I live a couple of blocks from main street. It will be interesting to see how many deer are taken this season. The color of the week is Blase Orange. I hope this is a great but also safe season.

Soup Day

It was cold and wet. It was a day to stay put. Dampness doesn't help my ankle either. So it was a soup day-not just open a can day though. Soup kettle on the stove and go to work. Peal,cut and spice and let it simmer. No can -can give you the pleasure of homemade soup. While your out in the kitchen you might as well clean your coffee pot. So get the vinegar out and put it in the pot add water and let it go. (Not what you would call hard work) but it is something DONE.
Did I work hard today-NO. Go back to the first two sentences of this post. It was still a good day. Have a great and blessed week.

Good Four Generation Day.

Today was a busy wonderful day for me. I did what I needed to do and traveled a couple of hundred miles during the day with the help of my son. I also spent time with a grandson and a granddaughter. Also I spent time with my 3 year old great granddaughter and time with my great grandson who is going to be one year old in a couple of weeks. The little ones were so happy and smiley. I am tired but feel so blessed to spend time with them and still do the mundane things like grocery shopping and getting a haircut. The my ggd and I shared lunch. She is a cutie and knows it. When I put onion rings on her plate she wanted me to give my son some to.
My laundry got done to and I wasn't sure when I would feel like getting it put away after I came home but it is done and I am going to bed.

New Week

The start of a new week brings hope that it will be a good week for all of us. We made it thru last week now it is time to see if we can make this one better.

Today

Today I spent time with my son and one of my greatgrands. A 3 year old little doll. She already goes thru clothes racks and puts things she likes in the cart. I had fun watching her eat an ice cream cone.
