Just Saying Hi

We're okayish here.  The sun is out and the temperature is in the 50's.  I'm hoping some of the puddles and mud dry up.  I keep thinking of things to do in the yard when that happens.

Pam was here for a couple days to visit.  It was nice having her here.  Everyone is okay and busy at her house.

Jacquie is busy, too.  The girls have had a few snow days and I don't know what that will do to the school schedules.  Jordan's job is going well and she is busy.

Family in Ohio have had a lot of very cold weather and snow, too.  Fortunately they have snow blowers. ⛄❄

Finnigan spends a lot of his time under the quilt on our bed.  It's a nice warm spot.  And as soon as I have a shower in the evening and sit down with my quilt to watch TV, he is right there on my lap waiting to be covered up, too.

I just realized that time "changes" next weekend.  So remember to "Spring forward".

Take care and stay safe.  Peace and Joy.

We're Still Here

Yes, it has been quite a while since I've posted.  There have been doctor appointments, holidays, birthdays, quarterly pest control, a plumbing repair, a new clothes dryer delivery, several Winter storms, and extreme cold.  One storm started as rain, turned to freezing rain and then snow and we had snow and ice that lasted for about two weeks in some patches in our yard.  The ice caused some damage to some molding around our garage door and we're waiting on that to be repaired.

You have heard me say this before.....I AM READY FOR SPRING!

Les and I are okayish.  A lot of days, I just run out of time and energy.  I am going to try to do better at posting if there is anything newsworthy.

Snow and ice

Last snow fall didn't last long

In between these two "snows" we had another that was all light and fluffy and I could use the leaf blower to clear the driveway!  

I hope everyone is well and safe.  Take care of yourselves.

Peace and Joy

 I hope everyone is well and doing okay.  Stay safe.

This made me smile.  😊

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Be kind.  And God Bless America!

Happy New Year!

And yes, I realize today is January 2nd. 😊  What can I say, it is what it is.

Les and I are okayish.  He is doing what he can.  So am I, and trying to keep up with things.  

The guys are done cleaning up leaves and I am guessing they won't be back until they think they will need to mow again in the spring.  Although, we have had some strong wind several times lately that has blown huge leaves into the yard.  I have no idea what kind of trees or where they came from.  There were so many stuck in the small shrubs in front of the porch and stuck into the Christmas decorations, that I went out and cleaned them up.

All of the undecorating is done, it took a couple days.  As I was working at it, I also cleaned out the storage boxes.  Jacquie and Jordan came and helped with the final job of getting our large tree taken apart and boxed up and moved into the library closet.  So everything is back in place now and cleaned up.  Actually this morning, I swapped out the quilts when I changed the bed and put the Christmas quilt away and the Anniversary quilt is back on the bed.

I have been tackling rather smallish jobs that have been bugging me.  You know, like cleaning out some drawers, sorting through the closet, cleaning out the bathroom sinks' drains, cleaning the sink mats in the kitchen, etc.  Next up is finishing some forms for tax prep, and then updating our address database.  A couple friends moved over the past year and we didn't know until we received their cards.

So, all in all, life is still good.  Be kind, take care of yourselves, and stay safe.  God Bless America!

This picture was taken New Year's Day evening.  You know I like sky pictures!

I'm Just Saying . . . . . .

The world is in a state of unease and unhappiness.  So, make your own joy, be kind, and take care of yourself and your loved ones. You can choose to look on the positive side of things.  I know Les and I are trying.  True, some days are easier than others, but we try.  And if someone else has issues with why you seem happier, ignore them.

My Grama Ethel believed this!  She'd give Grandpa and me some of her cookies with breakfast.  She said they had eggs, sometimes fruit or nuts, and milk, so what was not good for breakfast!  

Stay safe!
