White Is The Color

Everything is covered with a few inches of white snow. Freezing rain followed by snow has the trees and everything else covered. It is beautiful to see but not safe to leave house. Schools closed,roads not plowed. I can see the beauty but I feel sorry for the people that have to go out in this.

"ME" Morning

This morning was a "Me" morning. I stayed in bed. I didn't care what was going on in the world or around here. Didn't care if it was time to take my pills or feed my cat. Didn't care what was on facebook. When I heard my neighbors leave for work didn't care I stayed in bed. When the phone rang I didn't care. But when I looked at the time I decided to get up. Usually my son and I talk on facebook early in morning so I figured I better let him know I was still around but had just loss my get up and go. Its around here somewhere but I still don't care too much to look for it.

Family Time

I had a great weekend. I saw brother helping brother and the two doing things together. I sat at kitchen table playing a game. No rush to watch TV or go on computer. Just being together. My four sons and I have not been together in over 10 years. I realize what I am missing living alone for over 25 years. I must say I have a little longing for old fashion family time without electronics. I would like to see my sons all together with the wives included just talking and playing a game. I must really be getting old.

Great Day

After having a good nights rest I had some "get up and go"so I did. Went up to the place I retired from 18 years ago for a visit. Then went and did my laundry. Had some lunch and then went and did grocery shopping. Dragged my body to the car to head home but was detoured by an accident and road closure. So I went the long way home and stopped at second hand store. When I made it home there was a message from my grand daughter. So glad to hear from her. Now I am tired but thankful for the ability to do all that I did. (Not bragging just happy)

Grand Daughter

She is going to be okay. They were able to fix the problem. Praise the Lord!

Life Isn't Always Fair

Things happen and you don't know why. Prayer is all you have. My grand daughter who is only 26 years old is going to have heart surgery on Monday. My nephew fell and broke his hip and he had surgery this week.

Good Start of 2012 &Good End of2011

My day started out very cold below zero degrees. I was a little worried if my car would run and I had 1p.m. appointment for oil change. I was not going to try to start it until later and temperature up. When time came I went out and had no problem getting it started. I stopped at post office and when I started to go to oil change, brake light came on for a second and went out right away. When man started he discovered a broken brake line which was leaking brake fluid. All I could think was what if I had gone to do my wash. God's protection was working.

Since it was so cold I decided to fix a small pot of "fridge" soup. Had good left overs in the fridge and it made a great soup. I also finished filing all my bills for last year.
Last week I was fortunate to have visits from two of my sons and their wives. I also went to see another son and his wife with one of my sons. I also had a grand daughter and a great grand daughter along.
