So many people on my prayer list right now... friends and family and friends that are like family. So please today share your blessings with others.
I know our high Friday will only be around 40 but the birds are all thinking it is Spring. Robins, cardinals, sparrows and so many more are everywhere in yards and on feeders... waiting for Hummingbirds to return.
Hope that puts a smile on your face and you will continue to share it with others.
Late yesterday, the girl texted me that her doctor appointment got changed and I didn't have to work for her today. Well, thank goodness. 37° and sleet. I-30 was not moving either.
We decided mid morning that we would go get groceries. As we were ready to walk into the garage, the biggest BOOM of thunder shook the windows. It was very fast moving and so off we went in a very light sleet (not cold enough to stick). Can you believe for the first time in years we got everything on our list. Now, it cost us a pretty penny but the shelves were full.
Thanks for the Anniversary wishes! We have just had the best time together this past week... Well, OK most days for the past 42 years. He makes me laugh every day! We are truely
Please share your smile and choose to be happy and content with where God has placed you today.
Yesterday turned cloudy and windy. We covered plants and moved others in the garage. I took this picture this morning to cheer everyone up today.
Then I ventured outside into the cold just long enough to get this dreary wintery picture and thought next week we will be on DayLight Savings time. Woo Hoo! It will only be 5 am instead of 6 am. As I was coming back in, I looked at the calendar... 42 years today we have been married. We both forgot. Glad I remembered before friends started reminding us.
So now it is after noon and I still don't have any groceries marked off my list. Even worse, I had a call this morning and agreed to work tomorrow at a different office in Rockwall. What? got into me? Since the weather is cold and damp (drizzle not reaching the ground), Hubby talked me into waiting until Wednesday when the temperatures will be warmer. Ok, he twisted my arm.
Maybe the wind won't be as bad by then either. So now I am off to find lunch in our kitchen... by chance did you leave something there? Well, I am sending Blessings and Hugs to you no matter.
Surprise! I didn't get everything done on my list... yet. Thursday, I never got dressed... that's right! But I got laundry done and my nails changed.
Guess what color? OK, it is an orange shade with glitter. Anyway, on Friday my hubby had an appointment with our Neuromusculoskeletal Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy doctor (mine was for next Thursday) but they had a cancellation and she saw me right after his appointment (we both go in together anyway). By the time we picked up our bulbs for our makeshift greenhouse from the wholesale distributor and back to Rockwall it was past lunch time so we ate at the Cotton Patch. Next we were 6th in line of all 8 lines for gasoline at Costco. Then we had 5 things on our Costco list and came out with 10 things. By then we were tired and sore from the doctor so we went home. Since we don't go to town on weekends unless something major happens, we will finish our list next week. However, rain and cooler weather is heading our way again but it shouldn't look like this...
I hope! hehehe We both are feeling much better after Dr. Carey manipulated our entire body. We are both walking better, standing straighter and hurting much less. So... are you ready for a race? I win!
All the cold and dreary days you have been the sunshine in my life. Thanks!
So now I am sharing our sunshine with you as we will be in the mid to upper 70's today. Again, thanks for sharing your cold, icy, winter weather with us.
Don't forget to share your smile. Now I have to get dressed, get my long grocery list filled, wash baskets of clothes, wash my car, do my nails, and so on and so on. What are you doing the next few days (as it will take me that long to get all that done - beginning with getting dressed)???
KEEPING YOU IN PRAYERS. GOD BLESS YOU WITH TOTAL HEALING. (((((((HUGS)))))))) LEE

Got to see my kids on Sunday! The girls played guitar hero and they may not have much rhythm but they are good. They both get very good grades in their advanced classes and are pretty good in sports too. Field and track starts today and they are both in track and various other fields like discus and shot put and relays, maybe pole vault.
It ends up that I am working Wednesday too... so here I am on NOTH when I should be fixing dinner or paying bills or... And, here I am telling you...
