I'm Still Here

Thinking really hard about a blog post.  I've had a couple of ideas and I have some pictures to post so, if you can be patient a little longer I will get back to writing again.  

Spring

                          

We had a taste of spring here in the mitten this week but you would never know it by yesterday or today.  Yesterday we had 30 mph winds and this morning there is icy snow on the deck.  Temps are supposed to stay in the 30's and 40's.  While it was warm I noticed all the signs of spring here as I sat on the deck reading.  That is one sign; reading on the deck.  Also:
*we used the hot tub and it wasn't freezing when we got out
*I want to drink iced tea instead of hot tea.  I had a great Arnold Palmer at a Greek restaurant.
*I washed my shells from Florida outside and then let them dry in the sun.  I put them in a big glass bowl with sea glass on the bottom.  Very pretty
*I started a diet with my sister
*Went for a walk with the Donald
*Donaldo did some raking in the front yard
*Listening to gentle thunder
*Wearing Capris
*Cleaning my closet

Since we are only having part-time spring now, I can't wait for full-time spring.  It has to come doesn't it?

You Think.......

I could keep up with this blog....what's the problem?  Well I have had a few really bad headaches (its the season again) and a little depression that I can't quite shake.  I don't know if it has to do with the weather or not.  I read somewhere if we complain about the weather we are really complaining to God.  That struck a cord with me.  And PTL, I see the sun out now.  For how long?  We don't know.
One day this week I was at Starbucks and a real nice older gentleman told me he was feeling great; he was so upbeat and positive that he made my day!  And then he paid for my drink....you know, "pay it forward."  Now I will look for an opportunity to do the same for someone.  I am watching the Master's Golf a little bit with Donaldo just to see the pretty flowers, trees and green grass.  Although our grass has greened up with all the rain.  I know everyone is anxious for some sun and warm weather.

Here We Go Again

Yep...it's been a whole week again and my only excuse is busyness.  Does that count for not writing?  I was at a personal retreat this past weekend with a friend.  It is so nice to spend alone time and write out goals for myself.  My friend Carol and I did this two years ago.  It was an extended Bible Study and prayer time and was good for my soul, heart and mind.  The food was great and it is a very nice place.  The world just stops for a couple of days.  Carol and I met for meals and it was talking to her again.  We haven't seen each other for a couple of months.
Monday was a babysitting day for Joy Boy who had been really sick for several days.  He had been dehydrated and Karen didn't want to leave him with the new babysitter on her first day.  She was busy with Riles who was home sick.
Yesterday was the chiropractor, the dentist and then a trip to the hairdresser to get my too-long hair cut and my mega gray roots covered.
That brings us today and all the rain we are supposed to be getting.  I might clean some cupboards or....I might not.  I have set aside Wednesdays to get some of my many photos in albums and clean up my scrapbook room.  I want to get the wallpaper off the walls and repaint it.  So this is great motivation to purge and organize.
Kristen and her husband celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary last Friday and I just can't believe they have been married that long.  Time has just flown by as the day gets closer until I become a bonafide Senior Citizen.
I am hoping to blog more often......:)

Oh My

It has been over a week that I have darkened the door of this blog or any others.  We have still been trying to beat this virus that we had and both of us feel still feel tired.  I think some nice warm weather in the 60's would be really nice; without the NW winds of 15-20 mph.  I feel like I need a kick in the pants or lots of caffeine to do anything.  You know that feeling like your heart just isn't in it?  Every day I think I will start my SPRING CLEANING, but there is no motivation.  We did get back to the swim of things at the Rec. Center although I blew off today, but faithful Don went.  
Easter went well, with a nice dinner at Kev and Aud's and egg coloring on Friday with Joy Boy and his sister.  They colored each egg about 4 or 5 times and they turned out quite strange colors, but they loved it. 
Hope you all have been more motivated than me; I am going to finish my tea and try to get something done.
