Christmas Thoughts

This time of the year and the REASON for this season gives me the power to deal with things in my life. No one can take away or spoil the wonderful gift I got from God. CHRIST IS BORN. PROMISE IS FULFILLED.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Big Wind Results

Well we got the snow and then the wind. The wind put a foot high drift in front of my door so I couldn't get out of my house. Then it put a four foot drift over my furnace vent pipes so my furnace stopped working. The cold is here and only going to get worse. Moving air can be a problem at least when its moving at 30 miles an hour. But help was close by. My neighbor shoveled the drifts away and furnace man told me to check those vent pipes. I am looking for a little boredom right now.

HERMIT TIME

Well its official hermit time. With 12 or more inches of snow and drop in temperature coming today and tomorrow, I am hermit. One of my grandchildren reminded me of the backwards day today is. 12-11-10. One of my great grand daughters call and wanted to know about the snow. She told me she loves playing in the snow. Don't think she understood why I don't like doing that.

Frustration And Results

I have been frustrated by my bed being near a window that leaves cold air in. During the night I decided that I would not sleep in my bed where it was another night. So this morning I started to move furniture in my bedroom. Only problem the two rugs I had in my bedroom would not allow me to move furniture without wadding up and making the move almost impossible. Legs on the bed wadded rugs. Then the computer wires got wadded up in the biggest rug. I had to lift up each leg of the computer stand and wad up the rug more trying to keep wires where they belonged. As you can tell I manage to move every thing bed,night stand and computer. I have the biggest rug still wadded up against the wall and it will stay there for awhile. I sometimes wonder why I start these things but when there is no one around to help YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
Could it have gone easier with help sure but there was none.

Test Yuk & Family

Today I had an ultra sound of my kidneys-1 1/2 hours long. But it went well. I am tired and really ultra sounds are not that bad but your thoughts can do you in. I started to think of my first born who didn't survive because he had no kidneys. But God is good and I know it.
I spent time with my son and his grand daughter last night and this morning. While I was at doctor my son and ggd went to do my wash for me. I am blessed.

Cold Times Are Here

Checked out what my F. degrees register in C. degrees. I admit I have forgotten how to change readings. It wasn't any better. My weather for the next 36 hours will be between -6 and -9C.
But I know I will be thinking this is warm in a month or so. Isn't it amazing how we adjust or try to-to something we can do nothing about. Just stay inside our homes. No outside activities for me because I am not sure I could put on enough clothes to stay warm. Hermit time is coming up.

Cupboards

Mine were getting pretty bare at least for me. I am of the old generation that went thru some rough times and feels like there needs to be food in the cupboards and cleaning supplies available. Don't need new clothes or things but need to know there is food. I think there are
many people, young people feeling that way now with no jobs or prospects. They were sailing high but have fallen down to earth. I only hope this ends soon, but with them learning things are not the most important. A roof over your head and food to eat out beats all the other things.

Soup Or Not Quite Stew ?

You know sometimes when you make soup you get fooled. This morning I started a pot of soup and I started out with a good batch of broth first. When I started to add to the broth I didn't stop. I now have a pot of stewp. Too thick for soup and too thin for stew. Important thing it taste good. I find it difficult to make small amount of soup. That's all right since the next day it has more flavor. This is the weather for it regardless if it is soup,stew or stewp.

60 years

Thats a long time. Yesterday my sister celebrated being married for 60 years and she and my brother in law went out for supper on a date. I think that is wonderful and in this age it isn't done too often. Love to you Betty and Bob.
