Spend time making memories--

 Good morning--  We have an overcast day here--very mild--no snow falling--  but misty--The boys , as in dogs, have been out--and in, ---a couple of times here----the wash is done--the Dyson  vacuum moved around---

I read some of you had freezing rain yesterday-- That is the worst!---dangerous!---  I remember, growing up, in London, Ontario, and there was an ice storm there that lasted for days and days---  I loved it all-- I was about 7 or 8 yrs  old, so it meant that schools were closed---no power------and  we  lived in our family room, which was warmed by a fireplace-- ----Mom somehow cooked--- maybe on that Coleman stove Dad had---or-over the fireplace--- and we huddled around that fireplace, sleeping beside it, even at night--It felt like we were camping-----good memories---We were the only ones with a fireplace, I think, and, as a few of our neighbours would appear at meal times--or huddle beside us to keep warm. Of course it was a wood fireplace-

Anyway, during that ice storm,  I thought life was the best!-----  Life was cozy! ---Now, when I hear of freezing rain, I imagine cars sliding off the road--people falling on sidewalks---

 You know, my ice storm memory, would've been about 60 or 70 yrs ago--How on earth can that be??--

Here 's hoping that your day is going well--that you find time for "YOU"--that you remember to stop and remember good times  in your past-- your Mom--your Dad---when life seemed so much simpler--

Here I am, trying to "de-clutter"  this house--Everything I pick up has a memory---Pictures Of each of our children , growing up----and - I never heard of Alzheimers --or Dementia------Did you?---

Enjoy living to-day---perhaps take a little time to remember life-, simpler times maybe---make some memories to-day---

--  Hugs to yu all---
