Sunday - What's going on with you today. . .
Good Morning Laureen and all OFF!
Sunny morning here in the NEK fo far! You should see the huge icecicles outside my little house. they are pretty but huge! I took a little drive yesterday after I stopped at the store and got into some snow showers. Beautiful scenery however made up for it.
I too need to make myself get out and about a lot of the time. I find the older I get the more I tend to stay at home. Last night I wished I had a friend of the male persuasion to just hang out with. I created a new account on POF, we'll see if anything comes of it.
Some one asked the other day about chai tea. I drink Big Train Chai (no added sugar or the low carb variety). Its in powder form and is nectar of the gods! You can also make it with skim milk, chai tea bags, splenda and water. Good both ways. I use the powder because it is easy.
That's about it from me today. It's a pretty day, will go to grocery store, TSC for animal food and may do some driving around again to see the sites.
have a great day!
Laureen you help me out more each day them you could even imagine...thank you so much!!
I am driving down to Minneapolis to take my daughter and three grandchildren out to brunch soon. I am not sure when I will be back up to Minnesota to visit as I leave the 23rd for Iowa. It will be wonderful to be together but hard to leave them behind. I know we will make efforts to get together ....it just feels sad right now.
I will come home and a friend is coming over to help with more packing as my arthritic hands just can't do much more. Her boyfriend is coming to Spackle all the nail holes on the walls. I had a lot hanging on my walls!!
Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday. Prayers for many in need.
Much love and hugs for all....connie d
Lil Sis,
Dress real warm and get out with Roxie if only for 5 minutes. Her enthusiasm is sure to perk you up. Hugs
Our well has either frozen or gone dry. A few years ago we installed a 300 gallon holding tank which has worked nicely until now. Tomorrow I'll call 'Water Willy' to fill er up. It is so hard to do anything withou****er. CRAP.
When I got home from the M&M's there was a huge pile of clothes in front of my dresser. Annie had opened then emptied drawers. She's a bratcat but so lovable.
Miss M explained the working of kidney's, bladder and colon to me. (She's 5 years old) Puzzled I asked if that was something they are studying in school. She said nope, Daddy lets me read his doctor book, the one with pictures. 
Kisses

Maybe it's the time of year. I once read that February is the saddest month. It's been a long, cold, snowy winter, and we are all ready for warmer temps and sunny days to lift our spirits.
I hope that you get outside with your girl, Roxie, and start to feel better soon.

Laureen I hope your frown turns into a smile soon.
I too keep to myself at home. One reason is to keep myself from having to explain my cancer. I don't want to expose myself to someone who is sick. I really don't look sick so people are amazed. Another reason is that I have to pretend everything is alright for others and it's exhausting. I'm always worried something will go wrong with my wig. I'm not one of those brave people who will just go with a short haircut. And those turban things look terrible on me. Home is cozy and safe.
I did pop in on our yearly Sweetheart Dance that I usually chair every year. It's a fundraiser for boy scouts. I stayed about 20 minutes. They were doing fine without me. I do need to get some exercise DVDs ordered. I am too sedentary. Crocheting most of the time. Reading on my new Kindle to rest of the time. I think I'll order them today.
Yesterday I cleaned and did laundry. I need to write more Thank You notes to all the people who have helped me.
Eating too much. I need to go to the store and get the right foods. Hubby has been doing a lot of the shopping and he brings home what he likes. Not good choices for me. Last night he made a ham. He likes lots of beef and processed meats. Not so good for me. Yes, I've told him that. But he is bored by all the chicken that I like.
Well, I've done enough whining.
Hope everyone's mood, sadness, challenges improve soon.
Hugs,
Bev
I found that when I was having my treatments for cancer that at first I felt enveloped by warmth and caring, but later it fel more isolating. People just didn't know what to say or do after the initial shock and outpouring. I always wished for a support group of other cancer patients. Maybe you have one of those closeby. YES- order your books for the Kindle. I have a Kindle too- we can be Kindle buddies! One of the books that I really enjoyed was "The Help".

I sure wish you were closer or I was so we could get together. I would love to visit with you and maybe have you teach me to crochet!!!
I love your neck of the woods too.
I am definitely a homebody. I prefer staying in my house. In my mind I think of the things I should do or places I should go but I really just love being at home. I love my cozy house and sitting with my dogs, and drinking tea, reading and hanging out on my computer. The thing I don't like is that I seem to have, in the past year, lost my creative drive. I love to scrapbook and have the entire 3rd floor devoted to it, but just can't seem to get motivated to start again. I think that my job is very stressful and uses up all my brain and energy so that when I come home I just want to vegetate.
Anyway, I look forward to reading your posts and send you positive thoughts and prayers everyday...
