So excited that my girls are coming this afternoon. So lots of cleaning, washing, and straightening up going on here. Can't wait to hear how your week is going and what you have been getting into already. My oldest granddaughter got a phone and we have been having sticker wars. So much fun and looking forward to comparing apps. As usual, I am sending
Such a beautiful picture this is and that is what it looks like here with the braches on the trees full of ice and snow. Breathtaking site! Sounds like some more snow coming our way for Sunday. MY how I love the winter days as this season shows off its beauty. May you have a pleasant weekend. Smiles Gloria
Yesterday was a bad hair day. We had winds between 40 & 50 mph. It was one of those days where you could hardly get the car door open and then it would try to blow off the hinges. As I was getting in with my hair blowing every direction and shutting the car door, my hair got caught in the door. I had to get the door open again and get my hair out in order to move my head without loosing a lot of hair. Ok, just a strand or two. Gotta love Texas weather. Today is calmer with some sun and even though the rain is coming next week, we should have highs in low 50's to mid 60's for the next 10 days. So, if you don't like your weather come on over for a visit and we will sit on the back porch with blue skies and let all our worries drift with the clouds as we watch the birds fly by.
good morning! hope you had a nice week...we are getting more snow here...2 to 4 inches...i don't have to go anywhere so going to enjoy it..have a lovely friday...much love marykay
Each day we start with temperatures just cold enough that my plants that are covered or in garage will not like it uncovered or outside. But we are going to chance it for a day or two. Hopefully we don't get a surprise freeze, even though I don't think any meteorologist in the Dallas area can predict the weather accurately. Then if it is warm enough, I might cut back some things that got burned in the last freeze. But I would rather sit down and read. I have a great Christian fiction book on my kindle that is calling my name.
So what ever you decide to do today, share your smile with someone who needs it. Oh, and that housecleaning Fairy did get lots of stuff thrown out but my goodness there is so much more to do.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VISITING ME. I AM SORRY I AM NOT HERE MORE BUT I AM NOT WELL. I AM IN A LOT OF PAIN. PLEASE REMEMBER ME IN PRAYER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP. LOVE, SHIRLEY OXOXOX
HELLO SWEETIE, HOW ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DOING? WE HAVEN'T TALKED IN SUCH A LONG TIME. HOPE YOU ARE OK. LOVE YOU BUNCHES AND BUNCHES XOXOXO
OK, so I retired over 5 years ago and my Financial Advisor and friend since 7th grade told me if I wanted to keep busy I should be an On Call for Edward Jones. So I applied and was hired. The first year was a learning curve doing the training and putting my name out there. I don't remember how much I worked that year but I have worked at 10-12 different offices over the years. The second year I worked just under 1000 hours. The third year over 800 hours. I had over 200 hours before covid hit last year and still ended up with amost 350 hours. After covid started I only worked at one office, my home branch, and decided that I was tired of traveling 20-30 miles one way to different offices in traffic anyway. My home branch is 8 miles one way.
This morning my phone rang and Kelly, FA of my home branch, called and asked if I wanted to work because she was sending Tisha home sick. The picture above is how my day went! I know I am working tomorrow and was already scheduled to work on Wednesday. I might work the whole week and maybe longer. Time will tell. So if you don't hear from me, please don't panic. I'll check in when I can. Edward Jones is a great place to work part time or full time... Thank goodness I have a wonderful Hubby that can help at home, even though he doesn't know how to turn the computer on let alone pay bills online.
My how time flys when you are having fun. Where do the days go? Thank you for stopping by my place even when I just can't seem to get here.
I hope you know how much your friendship means to me. We had over 4" of rain the past 3 days. But this morning the clouds were breaking up and the sun is now shining. So I hope you enjoy my morning picture.
What a year this has been! I think we are all ready for a new beginning. This last week of the year I am babysitting the chickens next door. They have 6 chickens and get 6 eggs a day. Can you believe it?
I am not one that changes my homepage very often, but I just couldn't resist this picture. I have a friend who designs tutorials and she asked a mutual friend to help with the coding. So I hope you like my new page and the quote. I am beyond excited!
Well, I hope all your decorations and lights are still on the tree.
And that you have had no problems so far with cooking and wrapping. Now it is almost time for
singing a few Christmas carols. The Garth and Tisha Christmas special was so much fun on TV. Hope you have watched something like it and got a chance to sing along.
May you have a blessed Christmas week. Snow is falling down and Christmas spirit is in the air. What a glorious Monday day ! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Smiles Gloria
Sure hope you had a terriffic week and are getting ready for an extra special weekend. After all, next Friday will be Christmas. Can you believe it? Are you sure you are almost ready?
We were below freezing all night but it has finally warmed up today. I worked on all my Orchids (13) and Christmas Cactus (3) that were sure glad to see sunshine. The cactus is blooming and the orchids should start next month.
Hope you enjoy your evening, for now I'll wish you Blessings and Hugs!
