Quick - Gotta make it in 2009

Snow, snow, and more snow! Hope that all of you are safe who are on the road or in the air!

Today is our 56th Wedding Anniversary. For our 50th the kids sent us early on a trip to Europe. So on the actual day we were sicker than dogs, sitting in our recliners watching TV, when the TV went out. It was really rather hilarious!!! We finally got it going again in Black and White!

We can hope that today will be ok. We are more or less snowed in. Naomi was here for Christmas, and John HOPEFULLY will be here tomorrow, God willing and the creek don't rise. We'll just have to wait to see. These big snow storms are wreaking havoc on travel.

May you all have a wonderful 2010!

Take care.

brrrrrrr

The snow is here! The cold (5 below zero actual, -25 with wind chill!) is here. We are in the condition that if it is 12 degrees above zero, that is a "warming trend."

I have been cleaning like a maniac! Have to get ready for visits from the kids. You can tell I'm a maniac, anyway, when I call my offspring "kids" when they are fast becoming 40 or more. Somehow, the mother in me never gives up. When I'm 102 and they are retired, I will still be calling them the kids. That's just the way it is. Get used to it.

We're doing a bit of upgrading on the old mansion. Minor things that will make it more comfortable. We've been thinking of moving to a condo, but we can't stand to give up our views. So, as a result, a very few things will be changed. I will tell you what they will be AFTER they are done. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.... Or whatever cliche you would like to substitute for that old tired one.

Merry Christmas!
