Hi, my friends, thank you, thank you, thank you, for all your wonderful comments. They have lifted my spirits. I do hope you are healthy and happy, and doing fun things.
Oh my gosh, it has been so long since I have been able to spend any time here on The Hill. I'm quarantined/out of work since March and I am busier than I have ever been. I started replacing rotten siding last November and a freak snowstorm dropped almost 2 feet of extremely soaking wet/heavy snow. So, there sits the bottom of my front wall all torn off and waiting until Spring for me to finish, along with my porch, torn off the house listing/sinking backward. There are buckets under it to keep it solid/sturdy.
In September refer died so I had to have a new one installed. It was on it's last leg and not cooling, and at the bottom was freezing veggies. Well, the delivery guys were kids and couldn't grasp the basic fundamentals of the mechanics of the mask, so I ended up catching the common cold (rhinovirus). I wore 2 masks, so that pretty much proves to me what they are saying about: my mask protects others not so much me; but others masks are what protect me more than mine does. I do have N-95 left over from working construction the last 45 years, with a double bandanna on top of that.
All the holidays have been quiet 'cause I can't go anywhere & no one can visit. The virus has been wicked spiking here in NH; and now we have the variants. So I am so careful, washing anything and everything as it is brought into the house, and lots of hand-washing.
Working on taxes now, and getting rid of clutter, and sorting/sprucing-up/repairs/maintenance/deep cleaning. Oiy!!! Then with what's been going on since all of 2020 with that putrid, fly-infested, steaming, orange pile of pig diarrhea, desecrating our Democracy and the Capital. I can't even process any of it any more. I'm in the Twilight Zone!!!!
Well, have a great Valentine's and Winter, I'm still planning on getting here on The Hill a whole lot more often. Stay happy and healthy and have fun.
Thanks bunches for your Valentine wishes. I'm missing our Eva so much. I used to talk to her on the phone quite a lot. Pam, Eva was talking to me about you taking over our PSP Group, while she was in the rehab facility. She never made it back home to get on her computer and ask you about it. We haven't any participation in quite some time though.....Sonn
It is hard to believe that Valentine's Day is so close. I hope you have a wonderful day today and everyday and Valentine's too.
How are you doing?
I am so sorry it is been so long since I was on here. I try to come and do comments but seems like, just as I sit down to that very things something is always coming up and I get up and make breakfast, or dinner or something else. Just life. Thank you so much for being my friend and not giving up on me. I am doing fine so far thank goodness. I hope you are too. I am taking Bob out to a nice restaurant tomorrow because it is closed on Sundaay for Valentine's Day. He got me the most beautiful pendant necklace with a pearl incased with gold and some diamonds I hope you are doing well dear friend. So sorry Doc Shell took down her background site. Take care my dear and speical friend.
hi there, how was your week-end? it's been freezing here, don't think it's gotten past 20 since last friday. i am so ready for spring! hope you have a nice start to your week...warm hugs..mk
A nice winter day to you. A Bit cool for these next few days so will run my errands later on in the week. In the mean time I will stay toasty warm in the home front.
Enjoying some maple pecan seasonal flavored coffee from green mountain. So smooth and refreshing to ones taste buds. This is a nice day to do the household duties and then continue to read some more chapters in a book I started early this morning.
Migit even see some snowflakes today,Goodness most exciting! Take care and stay safe. Smiles Gloria.
good morning Pam, your page is lovely, my friend. Hope you and your family are doing well. Very gray and damp, seems to be from the fog more than anything. Rain on the way tomorow. Have a wonderful day.
We had over and inch of rain yesterday with a beautiful 30 minute Texas rain storm. It was a warm front moving up from South Texas. Needless to say, the grass was a little more than wet and the girls weren't interested in going out.
When we get lots of rain, especially when the ground is already soaked, we have a river that runs through the entire back yard. Then around 6:30 am this morning, we had a cool front come through moving at 55 mph. It only took 10 minutes to get another .8" of rain. It was magnificent with lots of lightning (which I love). BUT, guess what...
The SUN is shining for the first time in about 5 days and that is a very long time for us in Texas. So here is to a Blessed week for all of us!
I have lost count of how long it has been since we have seen the sun. Not much measurable rain; maybe 1/2" rain in 4 days or so. But I NEED sun and sunshine. We have a chance for sun on Monday or Tuesday, that's it for the next 10 days. So I just go to my pictures that are bright and cheerful.
I can't wait for my lemons to finish ripening. Nothing as good as fresh lemonade. So here is to Friday. Hope your weekend is full of Blessings!
hi there, how's your week been going? it's a beautiful day here, but really cold. but i'm glad the sun is shinning. hope your day is happy and peaceful..hugs..marykay
