Friday

I wanted to let everyone know, David had a doc appointment at 7:30am this morning, and he wanted me to go with him, so I did. He has a severe sinus infection, and inner ear infection. He is now on a antibiotic, and something for the dizziness. They also are sending his urine off to the lab, as he may have a kidney infection also. Thanks for any prayers on his behalf. He feels pretty bad right now, but I am sure he'll be good as new soon.

God Bless~

Come and get it!!!

To all those who wants snow, come on to Dayton, Ohio and you can have as much as you like. We got nearly a foot of the white stuff, along with a inch of ice. This 1st shot is out my front door, notice no streets.



This next shot is out my back door, or side door I should say, as our patio doors are off the kitchen on the side of the house.



You've heard of footprints in the sand, well here's footprints in the snow.



Icicles hanging from the patio top. Yes Christmas lights are still hanging, been way to cold to get them down.



The dogs path. Here's Bucky saying, come on Mom, let's go inside!!!





I would also like to ask some prayers for David. The last 2 days he's had extreme dizziness, and doesn't know why. We couldn't get him to the doc because of the storm. Our car is not capable of handling it. He had a appointment with the VA Hospital today but they cancelled due to the snow storm. I hope they get the roads cleared up and he can go to the doc tomorrow. It sounds like vertigo to me, but he's never had it, and we can figure where it's coming from. So when you pray, keep him in mind. Thanks.

Everyone stay warm, and be safe!!

God Bless~

For Deb in California..

Edit: I wrote this before I went and read Deb's post. She got snow last night. Now I feel dumb....LOL.. Happy for you Deb.
I had to share this for Deb in California. She lives in a snow less area, and wants to be in the snow, so here's Deb in the snow!! When David pulled the car in the garage last night, I did this. LOL. We are due 6 plus more inches tonight and tomorrow Deb. UGH!!! Love ya girl!!

God Bless~

Sunday's Snow..

Remember Thursday's Thaw? Well, it left fast and it's in the teens and this is what I opened the door to, to let the dogs out this morning, and it's still snowing.





Oh well, it is winter in Ohio, what else can I expect? It's my 11th winter here, I should be used to it, but after living in South Carolina for 42 yrs, I haven't yet.

I pray everyone is having a nice weekend. I don't have a lot to say today. I hope I don't bore y'all to much. Let me know if you were here. I am lonely.
:o(

God Bless~

Friday funny ;o)

WINTER POEM


It's winter in OHIO
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.

Oh, how I love OHIO

When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful

So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Ohio

I'm frozen to the ground!

God Bless~

Thursday's Thaw :o)

It actually got in the 30's today with some bright sunshine and melted off the snow a lot!!! When I opened the door to let the dogs out, it didn't take my breath away. It's suppose to get warm again tomorrow and then the deep cold returns, but today and tomorrow is nice. And yes, if you look in the last pic, my patio still has Christmas lights up. It's just been to cold to go take them down. I did get all the big things down, just not the lights.







Cooper is doing much better today. He got on the phone with me tonight and said, "Hi, Nanny!! I have a owie. " Broke my heart. I love those kids so much!! They live 2 hrs north, but 2 hrs seems like a country away, since we don't have a vehicle to go up there. They come when they can, but with 4 kids, 3 in school and work and the weather, they can't make it down like they'd like to.

I have had a real painful day today, and seems some of my blogging friends have too. I hope we all feel better soon!!! Today was better than yesterday, because of the sunshine. We haven't seem the sun much in quite a long time.

If you drop by please leave me a comment!! Just say I was here if that's all you want to!!

God Bless~

Woeful Wednesday.

Today has not been such a good day for me. I have been on the edge really bad for some reason. I haven't been sleeping well, finances, health, etc etc..Just all caught up with me today. I have taken a lot of deep cleansing breaths and trying to calm myself down. Probably some menopause added in. Then Carrie my daughter called and told me Cooper had fallen in the bathroom and busted his head open. She took him to the ER and they glued it. Guess what Cooper did? Pulled the glue out. Here is a pic of his boo boo. Poor Baby Boy. He's such a busy thing. He will be 2 March 7th. I just want to scoop him up and love his hurts away.



David did our taxes and e-filed them today. Glad that is out of the way.

Our weather sucks. Has been 0 or below every night and only single digits and low teens during the day. We are getting 20's tomorrow and 30's Friday!!! The back down cold again. I am so ready for spring. Cabin fever is killing me. I don't drive due to the diabetic eyes, and David working, I don't get out of this house very often and the weather doesn't help.

I hope everyone else had a warm and peaceful day. Tomorrow will be better. I PLAN it to be!!! LOL.

God Bless~

1 am, Tuesday morning.

I couldn't sleep, so I came to my blog and saw my blog roll has disappeared!! It took me forever to set that thing up and blogspot just goes and wipes it out!! UGH!! I am not a Happy Girl!!!!!!!!!

Here was Baby's reaction...LOL.



If you could see my reaction it would be worse. See Baby has those alien eyes going on...LOL.. It was taken with my camera phone, so it's not a great pic.

Until next time...

God Bless~

Sunday Solitude

I hope everyone is having a safe and warm weekend. I am doing OK. Will leave you with a few pics of my fur babies.

Isn't Baby beautiful?


The lazy boys..


Bart's nose...LOL


God Bless~

COLD!!!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Boy, is it ever cold outside. It's -10 degrees and the windchill of -35. The 3 fur babies, go out, do their business and run back to come in. Poor Baby in the snow. It's funny but sad. I feel so bad for homeless people and homeless animals. It's just that horrible outside. How can people leave their animals outside in weather like this? I just don't understand. I hope everyone is staying warm where they are.

Here's a few photo's of outside.







And here is what the fur kids did all day. Snuggled up to keep warm!!!



How long til summer?? Soon please, soon!!!

God Bless~

Sunday's Solitude..

THE FIVE FINGER PRAYER


This is so neat. This is beautiful - and it is surely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part of our lives.



1.Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty."

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next fingeris the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little finger - the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.

God Bless~

A Simple Saturday.

I have been lazy today, doing a lot of nothing. I hope everyone else is having a good and quiet day.

I wanted to share with y'all the newest pic of Daniel that we have received. He's so cute. I wish we could see him and love on him, in person, but he lives in California. :O(



Have a great and warm weekend!

God Bless~

Cold Friday

My house in the depths of cold and snow. YUCK!!! It could be worse, as I listen to things going on in the USA and weather. We are going to get more snow and ice tonight and tomorrow. I HATE winter!! LOL



I received a very special Christmas gift from a special blogger friend. Isn't it pretty and thoughtful? I just love them and will cherish them forever. She is a very sweet person, whom I have a lot in common. I feel like maybe we were separated at birth!! LOL. She's probably glad if we were, that we were. LOL. I love her. One day I hope we can meet in person, as I would love to meet all my blogger friends. I love you all!!



I hope everyone stayed warm as they could today, and that if your weather is crummy, it will get better and sunshiny soon!! Have a good weekend!!

God Bless~

Snow Day

We woke up this morning to a cold, snowy, day. I didn't want this stuff!! LOL..Ness wanted it!! I hope that Ness got some snow also. Deb in California has wanted it also. I wish I could bottle this stuff up and send it your way!!! If I could you 2, I would!! We have had a pretty good winter so far, not much snow, cold, but not much snow. I hope this is all we get. It's not that much, just enough to cause a hassle. The roads are real icy, not fun. David had a appointment at the VA today for a diabetes class, so they could start to provide his testing supplies, but with our vehicle, he decided to postpone that, until another time.







I am not sure if you can see the icicles hanging from my patio but they are there.



I hope everyone had a good day and stayed warm. Until next time...

God Bless~

No Title Monday

I haven't blogged in a few days. I want to thank everyone for the kind comments about Daniel. He's a cutie pie. Him and his Mom are doing fine. They are home from the hospital. Daniel is a 4th C- section for her.

I have been resting a lot this week. That stomach bug really took a lot out of me. My blood sugars were all over the place too. I am getting somewhat back to normal. The older we get, the harder those bugs are on us. Also being such a brittle diabetic, it takes me alittle longer to get better, but rest assured I will get there!! I fear going out the house now, for fear I will catch it again, or something else. I am becoming somewhat of a hermit. 2 reasons. I am afraid of germs, and I can't get my chair anywhere. I am sooooooo ready for spring and summer. These walls are caving in on me. We have a winter storm advisory tonight and tomorrow. UGH!!! We have been lucky so far this winter although, as we have not had a bad snow storm yet. Knock on wood.

My granddaughter Morgan just got glasses. She is 8 yrs old and in second grade. She looks so cute in them. She is very smart too. She reads on a 7th grade level!! Think I am a proud Nanny??



A friend of mine who works with David, sent me this pic of him, on the phone with me during his lunch. Awwwwwwww, isn't he a cutie pie? I love that man so much!! He is off the next 2 days. He is tired. Being on his feet 8 plus hours a day is hard for a person with COPD. God Bless him.



I hope that everyone has a great week.

God Bless~

Daniel Robert

I wanted to share a few more pics of our new grandson Daniel. He's a keeper!!

This 1st pic, they wanted us to see he's a blondie boy.







I hope everyone is enjoying the 1st day of 2009. David is of course working, but I will fix him his sauerkraut and pork, collards greens and blackeyed peas for dinner. Got to get both his traditions (north) and my traditions (south) in there.. LOL.

God Bless~
