You do exsist! We had loud, booming thunderstorms from 11 pm until 7 am. That is my prime sleeping time. And I had 4 little dogs that do not under any circumstances like thunder or lightning even way off in the distance. So I had to leave my warm confortable bed because a dog was scratching on our door and go to the recliner. There was not much sleeping because of a vibrating dog with her thundercoat on. So I forsee a nap today. But I did finish another book in the Color of Heaven series I am reading.
So as we start the drying out process again, I am wishing you a happy, healthly, fun weekend ahead with family and friends.
good morning and happy friday. i hope you have had a nice week. it's gotten much warmer here, and the snow is melting, could it be that spring might come a little early? thank-you for your friendship, i wish you a wonderful day...much love mk
My Goodness what a beautiful winter afternoon. One can almost smell spring in the air. I think I am dreaming, wake up Gloria and have a cup of tea. My favorite tea these days is sweet tangerine by Yogi. I so do enjoy my tea's in the afternoon and evening time. May you have pleasant moments for the rest of your day. SMiles Gloria
Sorry this is not one of your better days, Cheryl, but we all have them, unfortunately. Take care!
Hugs, Maria
Hi there. Today is a gloomy day for me. I don't know what is wrong but I have anxiety and feeling just blah. I don't like days like this.I hoping with taking a pill for my anxiety that I will feel much better in a little bit. We have clouds here today so I don't know if that is what is making me feel blah or not. I have one of those lights for people that have these kind of problems in the winter. Its called sad. Each letter means something but I can't remember what it is. I need to look up what its called on Google. Okay it means Seasonal affective disorder.Not much going on here. Just getting around to get things done. Have a lovely day my friend and take care. Cheryl
I hope your having a nice day. I am having a wonderful day and enjoying the winter warmer temps. I think I need to have another cup of coffee and or maybe some tea. Smiles Gloria.

That's how I feel after a shower and getting dressed. Like a kid again but nowhere to go and nothing exciting to do.
So I think I'll make some lemonade and grab my book since the vacuuming is done and the sun is shining while I wait on the dryer to finish. Sure hope you have a fun and blessed rest of the week.
hi there. Its been a busy day here. I'm doing good and I hope you are too. Its a lovely 72F here. A bit breezy but not cold out. I hope you are having a lovely Tuesday. Take care my friend and have a good evening. Cheryl
Today my girls are heading back to school after a week of playing in the snow, a week of not much electricity and a weekend of Birthday fun. But some schools aren't open because of water damage from busted pipes. There are still people without power and without water. However, we were 74 yesterday and the snow has melted. A cool front came through and we started at 30 but we will only be mid 60's today.
What a fun weekend for my youngest grand, as Michelle turned 12. Above is Michelle and Nicole at Obstacle Warrior Kids. They played dodgeball with the younger kids, ran obstacle courses, and climbed walls. What fun to know they are in great shape and to watch them compete with each other.
We are uncovering our plants today but not looking forward to rain this week as we have water standing everywhere from the snow melt. We are also hoping that the shelves are stocked enough that we can find a few things on our grocery list today. Don't forget to share your smile!
My heart is breaking for people that still don't have electricity even though most people do have power. Now the problem is water! So many friends and people without water to drink, to boil, to SHOWER! And so many with water damages to clean up in their homes and storage units because of pipes busting. So I thought that I would share with you.
We are doing some clean up around here too but nothing serious. We are grateful to be able to wash clothes. Really need to see if the cars still start too. So whatever you are doing, please enjoy and make the most of it.
good morning...hope all is well in your world. sun is shining bright here today, the birds are singing...and not so cold. hopefully that's a sign all of this really bad winter weather is done reaking havok on this country. my thoughts and prayers go out to people in texas who are suffering . i wish you a day of happiness and peace...mk
Hi there. Well it is finally warming up here. At least its a lot warmer than it was here lately. Its 10F here right now and supposed to get up to 19F. Itt doesn't sound like much but lately it has been in the single digits. Getting my housework done this morning and hopefully going to go eat lunch or dinner, whatever you may call the noon meal with my husband and son later. Take care my friend and have a good day. Cheryl
Hope you have a very nice meal with your husband and son and that your temps get above freezing like I am hoping for too. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs, Jackie
We are one of the lucky ones with electricity back on, haven't lost water, and no broken pipes. However, we are only 26 this mid Friday morning. I still have lots of friends with no water or boil water advisory. Most, not all, have electricity. So many businesses, hotels, and homes with broken pipes. Store shelves are empty and gas stations are too. Trucks have not been able to get here to refill anything.
We were above freezing a degree or two yesterday with the sun which started snow melting. Then got to 15 last night which has made the roads icy. The sun is shining today and by Monday we are hoping the snow will be gone. We have so much to be thankful for today!
So I thought I would share with you some of our fun pictures. Hope you can view the links and I anxiously await your responses.

We lost electricity early Monday morning about 2:30 am and went 14 hours without any. At about 36 hours we had only had maybe 5 hours of power. Now we are in rolling blackouts but the entire time we have been able to stay warm. However, a cousin in Arlington has had no electricity since early Monday morning, as do hundreds of thousands of people in Texas. My friend in Alice, near Corpus Christi, not only hasn't had electricity since early Monday morning, but now they have no water as the pumps are out and are supposed to boil water (with no electricity). Needless to say...
Again, we are OK right now. But please keep people all over in your prayers because so many are hurting from pipes bursting and destroying their homes, from homes catching on fire and dying from carbon monoxide poisoning (I think 18 children were admitted yesterday).
Our area has had around 6-8" of snow and most businesses are closed. There are warming stations set up all around. As the power will let me, I will read your messages as they cheer me up.
Stay warm and take good care of yourself and check on your neighbors. Blessings & Hugs!
