Sunday, Sunday

Sunday is half over already.  Where does the time go.  Not happy with the weather here for sure.  Drizzle today and icy rain forecast.  Yuck.  Please hurry spring.

Glad to know I'm not the only naive young women there was and that most are not ironing fans. 

Seems like there is still a little trouble with comments now and then.  Haven't been able to comment on Boston Boy's either.  Sorry about that.  Loved your slides of the auto show.  If I haven't left a comment it's not because I don't want to.  As it seems I'm not the only one having this problem I at least don't feel alone.

Received a letter reminding me it's time for my yearly vision exam.  Since these glasses don't seem to be much good for anything but reading, I think the timing is great.  Will call and make the appointment in the morning and hope they can make it quick. 

Cousin Jim and Mary are still in Zion with another setback.  They were doing a biopsy of the spleen and it bled too much so they had to remove it.  He is in ICU for a day or two and then will go into a regular room.  She doesn't know how much longer they will be but we pray this will be the last setback and complete healing will now take place.  Thank you for the prayers you sent for them. 

Well back to reading the Help.  I know I should have finished it by now as it's a great book, but for some reason inconsequentials get in the way.  You know, that feeding the man, laundry etc.  I mean really.  Priorities you know



Ironing, yuck!

Remember a few days ago I told you there was a story about ironing.  Well I don't know if I've told this before.  Maybe when on spaces but here goes again.

As a new young bride (19) I wanted to be the best I could be.  I think most of us feel that way.  Wanting to do as much right as possible and please the new husband.  Well, naive I was.  Tending to believe what he told me.  So, I ironed almost everything.  Even the tee shirts were nice and wrinkle free.  He said his grandma always did it and I wasn't going to be outdone by a poor little bent over lady.  I think I was suckered in for about 3 months before I got the chance to ask her about this.  Side story here, Jack lived with her as he ran away from home because of an abusive step-father.  Well imagine the sheepish look on his face when the truth came out.  Poor guys been paying for this every since.  :-) Needless to say, the dryer is the best iron there is. 

One of those nights.

You know the ones.  Where your mind won't shut down.  You get to sleep and have one to get up once (or more) during the night and can't get back to sleep.  Well that was a 2 in the morning and boy I hate when it happens.  All sorts of stupid stuff running around up there keeping you awake.  Silly stuff like how a show should have ended, why didn't this one make it on some show, how you could have done this or that with a project of some kind.  What you think you would say to a certain person if you had the chance.  What you heard someone say and how you should have reacted but the answer didn't come until right now.  Something you would like to blog about but totally forget after you do finally fall asleep a half hour before it's time to get up.  That was my night Wed. night.  Took me two naps and a good nights sleep last night to get the fuzzy out.  Why is it things like that (most totally unimportant) come up like that. 

Still don't get it.  You know the problem with leaving comments.  Have only had this trouble with Nancy and Carole's sites.  Sherry thinks a new browser might help, but then why isn't it doing it on others.  Just doesn't make sense to me.  I have no trouble on their second sites, just their home ones. 

Tonight is pizza night.  That's what the guys have on 'granny's night'.  Well I don't think I'm going out in this cold weather, so I'll just snitch one piece for me.  More snow and cold headed our way so I guess it's time to hibernate.  Better check the supplies and make sure we're covered.  I'm pretty sure we are, but better safe than sorry. 

You all have a good day.  Keep warm.

There's a Gremlin...

in my washer or dryer.  I know, you think it's the one who steals the socks.  Nope.  This one has a differenct agenda.  He doesn't take anything.  He gets his fun by turning the sleeve of my husbands shirt inside out.  Just one sleeve mind you.  I've made sure all sleeves are out when putting them in but when folding and hanging, there it is.  One sleeve inside, the other out.  Silly little fellow. 

Well they just annouced that they got 1 million signatures for the recall of our Govenor.  Since he only won with 1.2 million I would think he would get the message now.  Guess where our Gov. is?  Not here taking care of business, but off to NY to rake is some money.  He's gone at least one day a week doing that instead of his job here.  Doesn't say much for his commitment to WI. it seems to me. They also got more than enough to recall the Lt. Gov. and 4 Senators.  You think their party will pay attention?  I doubt it.  Seems like political parties no longer pay attention to their consituients, just the money men. 

Snowing again here, with freezing temps. following right behind.  Guess our mild winter is over.  It was good while it lasted though.  Really enjoyed it.  Hopefully since spring is just 63 (I think) days away it won't be a cold one and take it's time weatherwise.

I was able to get through to the sites yesterday.  I haven't tried yet today but hope the glitches are over.

Well off to check you all out.  Have a good day.

Time for a change.

The picture that is.  See, I'm already tired of the snow.  One snow storm and out is good as far as I'm concerned. Thought this was a better look.  You know, hoping to rush the spring weather, lol.

 Sadly the Packers lost.  They had a great run but if you don't catch the ball, and don't stop the other side, you sit home and contemplate next year.  Good luck to the teams still playing.

I am totally stumped with what is going on with my visiting a few of my blogger friends.  For some reason I can't get their site to work so I can read and comment.  The site comes up and then just sits there.  I can't scroll down to read or comment.  Now they have 2 sites and so far have had no trouble there. At first  thought maybe my desktop pc was acting up, but it did the same on the laptop.  It's a puzzle for sure.  So, Carole and Nancy, if any ideas on what it wrong and how I can read you posts I sure would appreciate it.  I can get into Hollerwood and Admiral's but that's it.  No trouble with other sites and hope it stays that way. 



Help!

For some reason I am having trouble visiting and commenting to anyone but Beth.  I can go to her site, read teh post and comment but not anyone else. I get to their site and it either goes to a white screen or it won't move at all so I can read and comment.  Any ideas anyone.  Getting an answer on the help site is like looking for a needle in a haystack.  Been this way for a few days now.  I feel like I've been sent to the corner and not allowed to play. 

Well sadly my Packers lost.  They didn't play well so they really didn't deserve to go any farther.  A two week layoff really doesn't help a team much and we all worried about that.  Guess we had a right to worry.  Good luck to the rest of the teams and hope the best teams win.

Off to read before bed.  Have a good rest of the night.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to out daughter

Danielle!



We are so very proud of her.  She hasn't let the trouble of life keep her back.  Went back to school and earned her BA and is working with special ed children in a school district.  Her charge is an autisic boy and it has given her another insight into what others must deal with.  Though some days are real rough and others good, she gets excited when the young man has a great day.  Her tales of her days make us all realized how lucky we are to have happy healthy children.

It seems to be the week for birthdays.  My nephew Trent's was Thur., a good friends (who just lost his wife, sad to say) is also today, and I see Carole son also has a birthday.  Happy Birthday to all.  Danielle's husband has set up a party at the little bar up the street for 8 and put it on fb.  Being the comedian she is Danielle said she didn't know if she could make it, lol.  We have the fire dept. Christmas Party at 5, with dinner at 6 and entertainment afterward.  If it's not done by 8 we will leave for the little bar.

You all have a good day.
