and--You know what??? Himself woke me up at 5am--- Himself, was en route , back to bed from the bathroom -He was mumbling, but I caught a few words here and there-- something about someone clearing snow from the driveway--- I had been "lolling" in bed, thinking that I must get "up and at -er" soon --
--but----when I heard "SNOW" and "DRIVEWAY"--I jumped up--ran to the front, and there was Son#1, in his Kabota, clearing the snow in OUR driveway-- -- Lord love a Duck! What a great guy eh?--And, he must've been out there for some time, as the driveway was gorgeous-- I could see where he had gone back and forth many times-- It was magnificent!-- Son#1 had saved me many hours of work--
The man who just had heart surgery is on his way home to-day--Amazing what Drs do isn't it??
So--How is your day going?--You realize that we are midway through February?---- then there is only March--and then--------- THERE IS SUMMER!
March is kite flying month--- My Mom used to say, "GO FLY YOUR KITE"------She really meant, I don't believe yu so -----I never ever flew a kite--but, it always amazed me how high a kite could go , on a windy day--Speaking of "flying"--
I hope that your day is going well----- On a score of 1 to 10--How would you rate to-day?? I think , that to-day is for sure a #1---I mean---- Looking out and seeing the Driveway free of snow--- It was like being in Heaven!!
ONE MORE THOUGHT____DID YOU KNOW------??????
It's Kathy. What a wonderful surprise to have your son clearing your driveway for you. Bless his heart to do it without your having to ask. I can't even imagine 16 inches! We have sunshine today which makes the very cold day almost manageable. I love the first meme - yes, we can do this! I just got done talking to my daughter with the 2 autistic boys. This morning Jake, age 5, had such a tantrum that he scratched her several times. She can't seem to get anyone to understand how very bad all this has become. Today I'm going to search for a child psychologist near her who might be able to get to the bottom of all this. Jake does not want to talk to his dad AT ALL - I think the dad is filling Jake's head that the boys will be living with him soon. Such a jerk! Enjoy your day today and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteKathy--5 am--Son #1 was ploughing our drive--What a good boy! - It was 2 days of snow--They say it will be a snowy week--Awwww Kathy--- Isnt that Father of Jake so terrible--??? The poor child must be so confused eh???-Nice if yu can find someone to help out your daughter--She must be going thru hell-and she probably has a job on top of everything else---Yu are a good Mom Kathy-- Sometimes women go thru a lot!--Hugs to yu all--Lynda
DeleteLynda, you getting 16 inches is like we were last year. We've been really lucky so far this year. Your son is a keeper, that's for sure. He knows his mama shouldn't be even trying to handle all that snow.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was funny how you skipped over spring. If I ever said something was funny, my mom would say, "Funny ha ha or funny peculiar." At our age we do find, like a meme I say (maybe here), "When I open my mouth, my mother comes out."
Today (counting 1 as the highest number), my day is working out to be about a 2. Sadie will do a brief visit (maybe it's her clone), I am getting a grocery delivery, will squeeze in a nap as I got up very early today.
I saved the almond meme to share. A Webmd.com newsletter I got in my email recently said people who eat a small bunch of nuts every day live longer. It listed almonds as one kind. Walnuts are also very healthy. Good to know this kind of stuff.
Have you rescheduled your hair, sis, or are you just skipping it this week?
Will check this later.
I just had a thought. If we lived closer, we could have 2 of us helping Sadie in one house, then another. We could get her chores done a lot quicker. ;-) {{{HUGS}}}
No, I will just go to the "Hair Lady" on this Thursday-- --My hair looks pretty bad right now-- LOL--- Sadie never did make it here to-day---With Himself's--- Day Program, it seems I was just rushing all day--driving him there--picking him up-=getting dogs out-vacuuming-- It was kinda a crazy day--Yes, and if you lived closer we could do more "FUN" things--LOL-- Hugs my girl--Lynda
DeleteThree rousing cheers for Son #1!! Seeing that terrible job underway must have cheered you immensely! Love your grandchildren picture…very nice looking family!
ReplyDeleteIt is a warm and sunny day at the beach in central FL….actually the mosquitos are buzzing about…never saw them in Feb. before….global warming has them confused, I suppose.
Hope that your day continues to be upbeat! ❤️ Eissa7 (Karen)
Karen it must be gorgeous in Florida right now--My Mom and dfad used to live in Orlando--Altamonte Springs-- I used to enjoy visiting them-- Lynda
DeleteWonderful that your son plowed for you! A blessing/good luck to you! The nut growers also paid alot for those words, lol! Just like the kale growers. Enjoy your family day on Monday, here or not.
ReplyDeleteFamily Day here on Monday and Presidents Day there---- Lynda
DeleteIt's snowing really hard here. Started about 10:00am. Weather man said maybe 2 inches, but as I look out at my yard and deck, we are getting more than 2! It is a wet heavy looking snow. Trees and bushes are all covered and it looks very pretty right now - but there is no visibility - like a whiteout which means I will not be driving to a friend's house for dinner. Oh well, I have plenty to eat here and I wouldn't want to take a spill and become the next casulty in my family. My 2nd granddaughter broke her ankle in a soccer game last night....she is only 13. My oldest granddaughter is home from the hospital and is doing much better....she did have pneumonia on top of everything else and is sad because she can't return to school for another week and it is her senior year. I replied you your yesterday's blog this morning. Not sure if you got a chance to read it or not, but I am so glad that you are having a good day today!
ReplyDeleteI figured there was a new comment --as the numbers were more to-night-- I shall go back and check- It sounds like you had a lot of snow---Hugs, Lynda
DeleteGood evening Lynda,
ReplyDeleteWe got some flurries here in Michigan. I am so happy that your son'
came and plowed your driveway. What a relief. My hubby does ours
but when it gets really cold, and windy we have the neighbor come and plow the long part of driveway and he does the back between the house and garage. Hubby brought a new blower (the old one was 23 years old and it was hard for him to handle). I told hubby since he brought the new blower it probably won't snow now. It is
28 degrees, and windy. I did not walk today. I went and visited my sister in the nursing home. Being there makes me glad that I still have good health. Take care and know that I read your letters I sometimes don't have time to comment.
Your Friend Bev.
Oh Bev--SO so nice that you went to visit your sister-That will men so much to her---Thank yu for reading the daily Blog!-- I try to gear it to women at home-- We are the ones that carry the world-- with very little recognition--so I believe- --Hugs, Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, Marge in St.Louis
ReplyDeleteYAY son and Kabota!!!! He must have really gotten out there EARLY and I love that you didn't have to ask him for help. I'm so glad you won't have to go out and even have to try messing with all that snow.
It's cold (under freezing), windy and snowing. Ugh. I'm so not a fan of snow. We have about 4 inches but in a large Metropolitan area that is very car dependent...snow causes havoc. Predicting temps in the teens tonight.
What handsome/pretty grandchildren you two have. Enjoy upcoming Family Day. Monday is President's Day in the US.
I need to get going and keep Sadie moving. The snow is pretty on the bushes, trees etc but I hope it melts SOON.
Hugs and Blessings
Son #1 was here at 5am--- It was like a miracle Marge--minus 19 C to-nite--very cold!--Lynda
DeleteWe have a dusting here south of Lake Michigan, grateful it is not more. Happy Family Day! Donna_cps2
ReplyDeleteWe can send yu some opf our snow of yu wish--LOL--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: How nice of your son to come by and do so much clearing of the driveway. Must have taken a while to do. And if he still has the restaurant, I'm sure he will be up late tonight! That would've been way too much for you. Sounds like a good day and himself should be in a good mood with going to the lodge. Has Lopez recovered from his beef treat yet? Have a relaxing night. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteYes those pills the vet put Lopez on worked wonders---I''ll tell-Lopez yu were asking about him--Lynda
DeleteGood evening, Lynda! Oh nice of your son to clear your driveway. Can you send him to Ohio? He can visit his sister. lol We are getting snow right now. My husband just got home in it from taking Kloi the next town over for her grooming. How is Lopez feeling? You are such a good mom to go out in that blizzard to get meds for him. I hope you enjoy Family Day on Monday. You have such a wonderful family so I hope you get to have some family fun. Have a great evening.
ReplyDeleteYes our daughter said yu are expecting snow-- Soo --soon --the winter will turn i to SPRING-- Hugs, Lynda
DeleteYes, it won't be long! Hugs to you!
DeleteSoooooo glad that son #1 did the driveway for you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy family day.
And LOVE almonds! Have to watch the portions, but they are good and good for you.
