Friday

The suns out and its not too cold today. Irvs down in his shop and I'm about done with my work. Just have some laundry to fold, and then play time. That involves working on the panda bear puzzle I have laying on the table, half done. This one was harder then the others. Too many of the same colors...Whew! Im still doing my new eating program and excersizing. Working on week 4 next monday....Im Happy with it, and its not too hard to keep up. My goal date is Feb. 20th to be back in a better shape....Our 49th wedding anniversary. Wow, who knew that when I looked at that cute face 50 years ago, that we would make it this far? Lord knows some of these many years were not easy, but Im happy here..... where we are now. It seems today, the young kids either don't want to get married at all, or don't try to keep it together. Its easier to just give up and go on your way. Lots of little kids being brought up by single parents.

Didnt mean to go off on a tangent there.....
Ok back to folding laundry and my puzzle. Late ta....

Tuesday

Morning again folks,
January is almost over, thank the good Lord. February is usually an interesting month. How you ask? Well for one thing, we can have better temps off and on. At times there might be freezing rain, and all things out of the house come to a screeching halt! Well thats at least interesting. Not like Jan. with its cold, snow, cold, snow..... Also, Feb. is a shorter month with March right behind it. I'm waiting for March and that first time I get that smell on the breeze of spring. That smell that makes you feel like a kid again,. The days full of promise, hope and fun.
Remember when you were a kid and spring meant being outdoors and running around like a new puppy? That feeling of complete freedom from care? Thats spring! ! ! ! I cant wait....Late Ta...

good sunday morning

Well, we went bowling yesterday, with Irv and Ann, nathan, Dean and Christy and roo. This outing was for deans 47th Birthday. It was much fun and Nathan, the guy that doesnt like to bowl much, had a 200 game.....Go figure. After the games we went to that resturant we like. The new ownwer is very nice and the food is good. We sang loudly to Deano while he ate his cake the waitress brought out to him... It was a good night with family....
Im going to relax my food plan for one day today. Im going to relax and take it easy. I may even allow myself some choc....I may do all those woman things we do behind the bathroom door. My eyebrows are in need of attention...Now just you wait. Ill probably find a multitude of work things that need doing.. There talking about Heros on tv. I got to thinking if I know of a hero in my life...Hmmmmmmm....Do you? Maybe the closest I can come was my mom...Ill go into that at a later time.....Late ta then...

Sat....

Here I am at the computer with my morning coffee. I love this time of day. Just quiet and no hurry...Its 5.50 am. WHAT THE HECK?????? Its very cold again, like -25. I just dont want to talk about it anymore......
My sister and I were talking about life, and how odd it is that you can meet people and swear you know them, but do not....People that look very much like someone else. The fact that many people have features that are alike. Maybe the same mouth, or the same hair. Could this be that we all get to live more then once? That we go on in a different body, and live again, until we get it right? How about when you meet someone and feel like you've known them forever? Could it be that you actually knew them in another lifetime? For me there are some people that I instantly dislike, even if I dont really know them. Or people that I like very much ,even though I dont know them. Theres an older lady here in town that every time I see her, I have the immediate urge to go talk to her. To find out who she is. I get such a warm feeling from her presence....If you think this is odd, just think about it and realize that this has happened to you also...Like spring and growing things, maybe we dont die, but are renewed until we no longer have a purpose here on Earth.....That would sure change how we look at things now wouldnt it? All comments on this are welcome.....Late ta

Warming up?

Well its supposed to..... at least for a couple days, then back into the deepfreeze.....I won't consider it a January thaw unless it lasts till the snow starts to melt.... Im waiting for Diane to call and say shes on her way to the resturant where we are to meet for breakfast and conversation. Megs car wouldnt start so Di has to jump it....Hope it works, we havent been together for a gab for quite awhile....

Suns out so my mood is getting happy. Do you have seasonal disorder? If I dont get sun for a few days, I get sooooo crabby.... I don't like being crabby.....I like to be happy and have fun.....Soo, shine on sun!!!!!!
Well, the big history making inauguration is today at 11.... It still seems like its not possible that a black man is going to be our president. What a day in history for all of us. God should be proud of his humans right now....That we can finally look beneath the color and see the soul....WOW! We are all one under the sun and in Gods eyes....OK enough...Late ta and God bless all of us...

Dare I say it??? Its Monday!!!~!!!

Yup another weekend come and gone. Back to work for some lucky people. For me its run to town and the bank then stop and see marissa. she has off school today again. I n service....What DO they do at those meetings? They sure seem to have alot of them....Maybe they play yatzee all day..... I havent driven my car in a long time. Poor baby, she probably thinks I bought a new one....WEll Irv brought her out of the shop yesterday for me. Shes sitting there waiting for a warm up.....I need to have her washed but I think that will wait till tomorrow, if it gets in the 30s.....IF!
Im doing good on my new food program. I even made it through the weekend without getting too crazy..Did ya watch any of the ceremony.for Obama yesterday? I found parts of it very moving. I really like the black and white theme they seemed to have going......A black entertainer, a white entertainer.....I actually got teary when he spoke.....GOD BE WITH THEM....I have to go make my menu for today so Ill split now....You all have a great day. Late Ta!

Snowy sat.....

The first warmup and now here comes the snow. I have all this wonderful ambition and no where to use it....I,m too old for some things and not old enough for the other..... I.m tired of cleaning altho I must say I DID get to get out to town yesterday. A friend called and invited me to go with her. I jumped at the chance to have a woman my own age to converse with. So far my new eating plan is going good but the groc. store was a bit trying yesterday. Theres an awful lot of bad for you food on those sheves....and there all at eye level and brightly colored to draw you in...Cookies, candy, ice cream and OH MY GOD the bakery! That could kill you just from your tongue hanging out......Well anyhew, skip the drama, I made it thru without giving in to the sweets devil on my shoulder.....Yay me!!!!!!
I have two female friends now that I feel close to. I think thats an important thing when your my age. Any age for that matter....Someone to gab with and laugh with and have them say your name out loud.....Hey suz! Its not mom, gramma, wife, just suz.....Now dont get me wrong, I adore my kids, my grandkids, my great grandson, my hubby. My life would really be nothing without them, but just once a week or so, just for a few hours, its also real nice to be..... just me....

Well I hope this visage finds the reader happy and healthy, and full of love, inward and outward....Late ta....

I,m still alive and kickin....I think!

Its still the frozen tundra but Im not sick anymore so thats cool. Ive been getting tons done around here because you really dont want to go out....Poor spazz[ my rabbit] has frost on his eyes every morning... There calling for a warm up next week so That will be great. Late ta!!!!

Sunday

Good morning....We went bowling for the first time in a long time. We went with Dean and Chris and roo, and Irvie. Kinda celebrating their birthdays. Christy,s 45 and Irv is 46, believe that? I couldnt seem to find action on the lanes. Even with my new lighter weight ball it just isnt working. Id much rather be golfing.... Its very cold out but I am going to run to target today to get some more puzzles. Its sposed to get bitter cold this week and then Id have something to occupy my free time. I really enjoy them and Irv helps some too.....
well, junes on yahoo so Ill skip out on you. Have a great day now.....Late ta

Thursday already...

I think the antibiotics are finally working. Maybe now I can get some long needed work done.
Poor Irv...Hes not happy with his new position at work, even tho hes only been doing it for two days. I think he feels like something was taken from him. Yes, it is less responsibilty and he spent 20 some odd years handling the guys and jobs, which now is turned over to the bosses son. Well I told him if he needs to retire thats fine, but he,ll need to find a purpose here at home then. I worry that he might just sit and watch tv all day and thats soo not good for his parkinsons. He has the new barn shop that needs inside finishing. He could work on that at his leisure and make a wonderful wood working shop. Its heated. WE,ll see. Hes still not feeling that great. Maybe he,ll cheer up when hes well. I sure hope so. We all have our issues with getting older and still needing to feel worthy. Men can be hard to understand at times. They don't always share how they really feel with us. I think spring will be better for all of us....Ok too deep! Late ta!!!!!

Okay okay

I give up!!! Im going in for antibiotics...More late ta

Suns out

Yes, its shining although cold out. I HAVE to get out today...HAVE to....This illness has had its way long enough. I want to go grocery shopping and feel the cold sun on my face. I want to shake my head and not feel like its coming off my shoulders. I want to make my lists and actually do some of the stuff on them. I want to put on makeup and fix my hair. Put on clothes instead of jamas and a robe. I want to LIVE!!!!! Wasnt that a movie with susan hayward? OK so Im being a bit dramatic but Ive earned it being down for a week!!!!! My poor car has been in the shop for a week and Im sure she missing me....I still have cash in my wallet from last week and that in itself is a miracle.....Ill let you know tomorrow if any of this comes to pass or I end up laying on the couch again like a old sloth....Late ta!!!!!

Sunday here and everywhere...

Im not sure yet if Im better or not. I just got up. We got some ice last night so I suppose the roads are not good to drive on this morning. Maybe later if its better we can get out to at least go to the store. I need more veges and fruit. Over xmas the kids brought candy and cookies and cake....Ewwwwwwwww! I have to make some better choices.
Last night I dreampt I recieved cranberry plants in the mail. They were wrapped in huge bales of soft straw. I planted them and other plants and was all excited about having them grow. Now what was THAT about? Do cranberrys even grow from plants? hahahahaha...I often wonder what some of my goofy dreams mean...I like to analize them IF I remember them good enough. I think our brains are like computer hard drives. WE keep some info and delete some or we get overloaded. Our dreams help us get rid of junk mail....
I have a puzzle started on the table but cant seem to get up the go to work on it......Maybe later today. I LOVE these easy 300 puzzles. You can do 2 a week and dont get bored....Oh Man...I need spring!!!!!! Late Ta.....

Is there life after death?

This is the worst thing thats ever hit me and yet let me live...Everyday it metamorphises into a new form. One day its the rusty throat and sleep is the relief. The next day its a chest full of junk and no amount of coughing brings it up. Now on the 7th day its a nose full and the gunk is flowing out of my cough like a volcano erupted. Holy moley! Is it gonna end ? EVER? Irv has it too and although Im using different meds, he is not and they both seem to be moving along at the same rate of SLOW!!!!!!!! I did manage to get a few things done yesterday and sent a loaf of new bread home with my son, Irv and i still arent well enough to go anywhere and Im getting a bit of cabin fever....Theres no fever involved so we wont run to the clinic. I think it just has to run its course however long that may be....seems a bit like forever. I guess we will live but I started to think of songs Id like at my ulegiy. Oh Just kidding!!!!!!!!!!Late ta...

My time off

Sorry I havent posted of late, but Ive been so sick. I got some virus over Christmas and its taking its good natured time going away. I sleep a lot and cough alot and just feel generally like crap! Be patient and check back and Im sure I will be fine in a few days. Late ta
