Gray day here in the Alton area and a chill to the air too. My boxer Lily and I got our 3 mile walk done early since showers are possible later. In a few minutes I head up to open up the local food pantry for the day. Better get off here and get my cup of coffee made too! Have a great day all you Illinois peeps!
Good Morning, another gray day 
When will spring decide to come back and stay. I cannot remember another year that we have had to have the heat on past 5/1.
I have had a flat of gerainiums, I know, spelling, that I need to plant for over a week. But, the ground is to wet to work. I am sure I will get it done, but I want it done now.
Otherwise, today is cleaning day.
Tomorrow I get to spend another day with Annette. We are going to Bloomington to get Morgan's birthday and graduation gifts. Then we are meeting Monica for lunch at a Greek place.
Have a great day and keep dry.
Hugs,
Lisa

Hello Everyone!
I am returning from the land of lost! So much has happened to me in the last 6 months. Rick is still in the nursing home although he is doing much better. We are looking at a homecoming in another month or two. He is gaining progress much more rapidly since the first of the year. Each week I see new accomplishments. He has come a long way. The stroke was much more severe than they first thought.
Gage is in Japan until August. He was there for about a week when the earthquake struck. So he has now experienced an earthquake. The 6 kids from Augustana are now helping out the residents. They are taking courses there for the spring semester. It is a full imersion program in Japanese so they are getting a full dose of Japanese lifestyle culture and all. So far he loves it except for the tunnel of the bed that they had him sleeping in. He is claustrophobic.
I am out of a job again. The company that I went with that subcontracted with Office Depot had their contract yanked by Office Depot so Office Depot has now gotten to "fire" me twice. I feel like they have taken a knife and stabbed me in the back and twisted it. I really have no respect for that company. They are treating their customers like crap.
I definitely liked working from home so I am trying to find another work from home job. I have been following everyone on facebook and trying to catch info on here but have been bad. I spend most of my time with Rick.
I will try to do better. Talk to you all later.

I had a pretty good Mothers Day here too! Had church this morNing then went with my in laws out to lunch. Got calls from both boys too wishing me a happy mothers day. Gloomy day but great to hear from and spend time with family too. Got my walk in with the dog and some household chores done too. Pretty good day overall! Hope you had a good one too!
Happy Mother's Day,
My youngest this morning called me to wish me a Happy Mother's
Day at 6:30 a,m,.
Hubert is working, and I am going to get some stuff done here. We were going to BBQ this afternoon, but the weather isn't cooperating, so not sure if we are going out to eat or getting carry outs.
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Lisa
Good news about your heart doctor. Good doctor reports is one of the blessings of this surgery,isn't it!? I got up early this morning to get my exercise in with my dog Lily as hubby and I will be going to a cowboy shoot in a nearby town. He is a member of the Single Action Shooting Society and we travel just about every weekend for him to shoot pistols,rifles and shotguns. I jus****ch but maybe someday I'll get brave enough to try my hand at shooting too. Then I have a meeting at church this afternoon. Weather was beautiful for a walk early today and it feels great to have that out of the way already. Have a great weekend everyone!
