Icy Day

When we got up this morning, it was to a crystal wonderland! Ice is on the trees and on top of the snow - everything is sparkly! I'm not saying I like the ice, mind you, but it really was beautiful! I took some pictures, but so far I can't find my card reader so I can't upload them! I thought the card reader was in my purse, but it doesn't seem to be there...I will have to do some searching!!

Tonight I had a Disciples meeting which lasted 2.5 hours! Very interesting conversations...we're being challenged to spread the Word of God throughout our community! This is a very scary thought for me - I don't especially enjoy talking to people I don't know. Most everyone I know has a Christian background, so this will be getting people who do not know about Jesus to hear His story...more later...

Sunday, February 27th

I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time believing that February is already over! Boy, did that month go fast!! We went to church this morning...Pastor David preached about the Theology of Announcements! It was a very interesting sermon and I'm sure we'll all look at the announcements in a different way now!

For those of you who are reading this from the sunny south, stay as long as you can!! Today we had drizzle all day - some of it freezing. This evening it started thundering and now it's raining! Of course, it's only 30 degrees, so I guess you know what that means...tomorrow morning we'll wake up to a crystal world! I don't believe the sun has shone since we've been home...so stay in Florida!!

This was a great day for Jeff Gordon fans! He finally won a NASCAR race after 66 straight races without a win! I was so excited I shouted!!! His win was long overdue! Tonight I'm watching the Oscars. The dresses are phenomenal tonight - glamour has really hit Hollywood!! Dave's asleep in his chair - surprise, surprise!! More later...

I'm Sick of Snow!

Why, oh why, did we come home so early???? I wish I was back in Florida where it's 72 in Ft Lauderdale or 66 in Clearwater! Since it's only 21 here, I'm sure you can understand!!

Dave worked at the Habitat house all day today so I just puttered around here. I got to watch the Cyclones on TV today! They beat Nebraska in overtime - what a game!! It was one of those games that make you want to chew your nails!! Way to go, Cyclones!

I actually stayed awake until about 4:00 when the codeine finally got me! I slept for a couple of hours, but I'm still tired, so I'm pretty sure I'll sleep tonight! Tomorrow I'm going to get out of the house! I'm going to church and I'm pretty excited to see our church family! More later...d

Friday, Feb. 25th

We woke up this morning to about 5" of new snow. It's sad, because all of the old snow was gone. I'm sure others, like me, were wishing for green grass instead of snow! Some of my friends' daffodils are up, so they won't like this white stuff either! Right now, as I look out my window to the world, there are three deer lying down in the big yard just west of our house. They don't seem to mind the snow at all!

I am pretty boring these days. When I take antibiotics I sleep, and that's exactly what I did all day today! I sure hope I can sleep tonight! I suppose I could take some more cough syrup (with codeine!!) - I'm sure that would put me out!!

Welcome home!

It's snowing again. Welcome home!!! I really didn't need to see or experience any more snow to be happy! It is pretty outside, though! The snowplows keep going by, but when I turn on the porch light, I can't see but about 2" of snow. Maybe I should look out another door!!

I went to the doctor today for my cough and wheezing. He said I had the crud that was going around. Again, I didn't need the crud to be happy!! He gave me some high powered antibiotic to break this up before it turns into bronchitis...and he gave me cough syrup with codeine! I'll bet I sleep well tonight.

Tonight, I got everything ready to go to stamp club...just to find out that they cancelled it because of the snow! Darn, I was really looking forward to that.

Dave worked at church a bunch of the day today. I guess after we were cooped up in the car together for two long days, he was glad to get away...I also enjoyed my time alone!! :)

Home Sweet Home

We got up at 4:30 this morning - on the road since 5:20 AM!! Left from Clanton, Alabama and got home around 6:30 this evening. Most of the "stuff" is put away. The mail is at least opened...and my email is checked. I'm going to bed!! More later...

Beautiful Beach Day Again

We went to the beach today - St. Petersburg Beach. We were invited by Bob and Maggie Morrissey. There were several couples there, most of whom had worked at Indian Hills at some time or another. Besides us, there was Bob & Ann, Keith & Barb, Sam & Barb, Dick & Doris and Maggie's brother and his wife, Dick & Jane, as well as Jane's college roommate and her husband, Vicky & Rick. Bob & Maggie's condo is right on the beach, so it was a wonderful setting and a great group of people!!

Tomorrow we're going back to Clearwater to our place. Dave is going to put another coat on the roof and do some more caulking and some winterizing stuff! Plus we're planning to leave some of our clothing here and we've bought some towels, etc., to leave here. Tomorrow at the Ranch is Can-Am day so there is a big co-op dinner at the park. More later...
