New Year

Happy New Year to all. I am looking forward to the New Year with hope and prayers. May God Bless you all.

What Is The Weather Going To Be

Up here you never know. This a.m. I needed to run to do my laundry and to pick up two meds. It was something this morning. I started the trip in drizzle,then a down pour,then a mix of flakes and rain. While doing my laundry the snow came down and when the laundry was done everything was covered white. The roads were fine and I headed home. It has gotten colder all day. I am so glad I did my work early this morning.

Merry Christmas

Life has it's trials and tribulations but we make it through. We need this time to be merry and put problems on the back burner. I know God has the plan.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas Gifts

All I want for Christmas is four phone calls. One from each of my sons. I really feel I have all that I need.

Media News

Tonight I checked a news media and I can't believe why some of this is coming into my home. I wanted to check the news not all the junk that was on my computer. I was overwhelmed by the trash that made this news station. I know that I don't think it is important. It was better when some things were private. Guess I am getting too old to like all the crude that is out there.

Christmas Time

With so much sadness and needs in the world around us,we sometimes forget the GIFT we were given 2000 years ago. It is a gift that everyone can receive. Praise the Lord.

Guardian Angel Alive and Well

Well, I robbed Peter to pay Paul so my furnace could be fixed. Yesterday I received a Christmas card that wasn't signed with a great deal of money in almost the full amount of my bill. I don't know who to thank but God works in many ways. I hope I am person worthy of this wonderful gift I find it hard to think so.

Furnace ???

Well it is running for now. Needs a part to fix it so I won't have to worry when it will stop again. Have you ever heard the old expression "robbing Peter to pay Paul"? I am looking for my Peter to rob. Don't like the uncertain nature of my heat. Life goes on.

Furnace Not Working

Well, life has given me another thing to deal with. My furnace isn't working and there isn't more that can be done tonight. So I will be under electric blanket fully clothed tonight. I don't like space heaters. There are a great number of people outside in the cold without a roof over their head so I am in my house,could light my oven if I get too cold in the morning. Hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow.

Hard Day Into Easy Day

Yesterday was a busy day for me. I did a great deal of running and working. Laundry,picking up medicine,going to bread store and stocking up and ending up with grocery shopping. Everything needed to be taken home and put away. That was the good part of the day. While out I discovered that the trunk lock on my car was broke and I couldn't put anything in or take anything out. I didn't have a flat or need a jack so that wasn't too bad. When I came home and did what needed to be done I fell asleep in my chair. I got cold and thats when I discovered my furnace was not working. Had to call repair man. (Not a bill I needed but tired and cold is not a good feeling)
Furnace was fixed.
I knew I would not be able to do a great deal today and I didn't. My body hurt, my get up and go was gone, and I was just here today.

Isn't It Strange

You have to go to a funeral to see people. You are amazed how they have grown. Little girls are mothers now or engaged to be married. A former s-i-l is a widow after second marriage. Proof that does go on. You get teased about how you spanked your kids with a piece of "hot wheel" track. All kinds of memories.

Comments

I am still reading but for some reason can't comment. Life goes on and I will keep trying.

Phone Service??????

I don't know of a worse time for a phone to go out. I lost someone and waiting to hear about arrangements and phone malfunctions. I can call out but can't receive calls. No way to know phone was even out until e mails. Glad I have cell phone. Can't believe I said that! I have cell phone just for emergency while walking or driving. Two days and counting.

RIP RANDY

This afternoon I received a call that my nephew had died and my son was taking my niece to hospital to identify the body. What a shock! A young man and all you want to say is WHY? The Lord has a plan that we don't know and sometimes find it hard to understand. I am trying to think of fun memories of him.

Important Date-Birthdays

Today is my grand daughter's birthday plus it is my late husband's birthday. Good and bad all in one day.

Snow Plows Working

The plows are outside clearing the road. It snowed most of the day. I will have to clean off my porch and my car. But first I will have to go to the back yard to get a shovel. It is so beautiful outside. Since I am retired, I don't have to leave the comfort of my home unless I want to. I am glad I have salt to melt ice. It seems early for this but the weather has been a little different this year.

Sweat Shirts

Today after church I wanted to put on some casual clothes. I put on jeans and a sweat shirt. That shirt was so comfortable. I had forgotten just how much. I am so glad I brought them down from upstairs. I will probably wear them from now on. I will pack up my t-shirts and take them upstairs. I like being warm and sloppy. No reason to be anything else. Am I terrible I don't think so.

RIP

Today I lost my brother-in-law. We haven't seen or spoken for years as I moved away after my husband died in 1966. I may have seen him less than a dozen times since then. But I have good memories of him. He was there for me when my husband died. He would have been 80 in a few months.

Birthday Breakfast

Today I took a friend out for breakfast. She had taken me out for my birthday and I gladly took her out. Lost so many of people I could spend time with and talk lately. Death and moving makes it hard to have old friends.

Cold and Gray

It could be how you might describe me but I meant the weather. It has gotten to me and I am wondering what I am going to do when it gets 40 or 50 degrees colder and it will. We were spoiled by Indian Summer and now we are cold. These temps will feel warm in April or May but they sure don't feel that way today.
