Winter has arrived.

Who invited winter this early? An unwanted guest and very messy one at that. Not only that, but it brought a chill with it that cannot be gotten rid of. Snow up to our knees and blowing and drifting. Irv hates it with a passion! Okay....Lets be reasonable. We live in Wisconsin! WE have always lived here in our marriage. Why does it surprise us when it gets this nasty? The guest has moved on to north eastern US but left behind the cold... .Drink something hot and yummy. Put on extra layers and shut up! It can only last so long and them spring will come and we will forget this unwanted guest was ever here.....Until next dec....that is....Late ta

Hello again

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and it seems its all about the food...What to start and when? Pies to make and things to cut up. Its a matter of organization, of planning....Religating does not come easy to me. I seem to want to do it all myself. It will all get done and the only memory will be of the people that came to share it with us....
We bought a new 42 in. sony HD tv....We want to put it on the wall with a bracket that will turn back and forth, so everyone can watch in comfort. The instructions seem a bit daunting, as do all of them that are written in many languages to satisfy the many nationalitys we have in these United States...Perhaps this wasn't the best time to do this, with the holidays and all, but Packer games should be a delight to watch, IF...we can actually get it installed. Sanna and Josh and Jack will be up over the New Years weekend. Yay!!!! We can celebrate her Bd....Theres also Nates Bd the day after xmas, and Irvies, the 3rd Of jan....Wahoo! Late Ta!!!!!

What?

Pondering some thoughts here, so bear with me. Now I have met many young people in the last few years. Most are great, well brought up kids I enjoy being around. Then there are the few that I just dont get. These are the ones that have no social skills. They have no filter on their thoughts, or what they say. Maybe theres a word for this behavior, I'm not sure. I find myself shaking my head in disbelief at what they do and say. In some instances, it almost seems like the truth spills out of their mouths without regard to what the consequenses might be. Some truths are better left unsaid. I find my heart going out to these young foolish people, and yet the help they need cannot come from me. Its not my place or my intellect to help them. Maturity has alluded most of these people, and I'm sure the way they were brought up has helped define them. What happens to them in the long run? What of the people that get caught up in it with them? I wish with all my heart that I had the answers but I do not. How I wish my brain would walk away from it...It cannot....Late ta...

Enjoy

Enjoy your youth because it won't last long. Enjoy the mirror cause soon you,ll wonder who that person is, and why they are in YOUR mirror. Enjoy jumping out of bed to go to the bathroom cause someday you may not make it, and yellow stuff will run down your legs....Enjoy that stride and the swing of your hips, before life slows it down to a crawl. Enjoy singing at the top of your lungs before someone [ you know who that is] tells you to quit catter wailing.] Enjoy shopping for clothes while you can still wear that size you did before, and not move up a size every couple days. When if you so much as look at a cookie...its 5 more pounds....Enjoy....Oh getting older isnt all bad...We have brains and aren't afraid to use them. We say what we mean, and mean what we say...We do what we want and dont apoligize for that. We can love whoever we want, cause love is free for the giving and God likes that....Enjoy.......Late ta

Winter?

Wow, its cold out. Like 20 something. I shouldnt complain tho, other places have had snow already. Way too early for that now....All my outside work is done except to move the leaves when they are all down. Theres just too many to leave, { pun] on the ground....I really miss the long summer days. One sits more when it gets dark early. More tv which in turn leads to more munching. I WILL not let that happen this year! I have about 7 quarters in the bet jar. Not bad for me. I include everything and I hope Rita is too.
I went to Christys yesterday. Told her I wanted to show her my hair cut. She loved it and asked where I had it done. She was very surprised when I told her I did it myself. I love it. Its a wash and wear haircut. Doesnt need to be drowned in hairspray....love it... She even said it made me look younger. yay to that I say....
I may head to town today. Get out of the house and maybe I can talk the ole man into lunch....You all have a great day and get ready for snow.....ewwwwwwwwwww...Late ta

sat...

Golf got rained out yesterday! darn! We were dressed and ready to go when the rain started. Ok so we,ll try again today. Its cooling off now that fall is here, and the leaves are falling fast. Another job I have to look forward too. NOT!
The back Decks are done. Next spring I will plan what to decorate with. maybe flowers or a bush....We have to cut some lower branches off the huge pine tree. It sorta took over the back yard. oH my God! I,m planning next year already!

I,m starting back on my food plan Monday. Winter plays hell on my body if I dont excercise and eat right. Theres just not enough work to keep me hoppin. A friend and I have a bet going. Every sweet we eat means a quarter in a jar. At the end of a month, whoever has the most in the jar has to give said jar to the other. You think it will be me?????
Well, Till another days news, Late ta!!!!

Hello?

Wow! I've been gone from here for awhile. Kinda forgot about it. Life has been full of gardening, yard work and golfing, [ my fav pass time]. The garden is almost done but with the wonderful warm weather late this year, it has lasted longer then usual. I must say I'm over it now.....The yard work will continue until all the leaves are done falling and the clean up is over. Yikes!

Speaking of golfing.....yes we were... The last nines holes yesterday went very well for me. I put the ball on the green from two tee shots. I pared two holes, and had a very long successful putt. The day ended with a score of 48 for me.....I've never had a 48 score!!!! Happy dancing all over!!!!

Foggy this am and cool but its a quiet stay home day so who cares? Ok, I have to take some movies back later, and want to stop for a few minutes for my hug from roo. Lunch with Christy this week via her request. Nice.....Soooo, have a great day and remember that you are loved......Late ta...
