You make me happy!

It is Sunday, December 21st--after 7am--  cold outside and dark--and yes, we must believe in ourselves--- and-- yes, I am here--blogging--no more time off here--LOL-----

It seems like a very cold morning outside -I can feel the cold coming in the house-Yesterday it snowed ALL day--The guy who I hired , to plough never appeared---so--I shovelled--and shovelled--all day--and I did a fairly good job --There is a lot of snow which falls here--I had forgotten that Elliot Lake, maybe because of all the lakes in the area, Elliot Lake gets a lot of snow!----Gil, the person I hired with a snow blower could not come-- His truck's "bearings" were shot---  so could not load the snowblower onto it---Anyway, me and my trusty shovel did a good job!---  

I guess one does what one must do, to get a job done--some jobs are harder than others--I tried to visit Son#3 so I could chat with his 2 grown up daughters, home from University-took a chance-drove over there, but that did not work out--It was "Gramma", wanting to see the Granddaughters--LOL---YU win sometimes and yu lose sometimes--and yu don't sweat the small stuff--


                                    a few blasts from the past--

Below----one very cold Spring, visiting my oldest brother and family

This child is now in her 2nd year University--

So--Time to get on with this day--Lots to do--Remember to "Be Strong"--"Be Happy"--Be Content"---""Live wisely", -and--"Hang onto Your Dreams"--oh---and-----"Learn to survive defeat"--
"I love you all to the Moon and Back'

    Good morning, sis!

    It's bright and beautiful here...BUT only 6F!

    Love the photos...especially the group one of you visiting your brother.

    I sent gift cards to my sons and their families...the 2 in the Chicago area and the doctor one in California. The one to him did not go through. He changed his phone number and left me out of the loop! I messaged my (doctor) daughter-in-law to ask how I can get it to them.

    Not many plans for me today...maybe another load of laundry. I have blankets I want to wash.

    I really wish you didn't have to do all that shoveling!!! It's hard enough for a younger person. Hopefully Gil gets his bearings fixed quickly. Maybe he can get a 'loaner' from the fix-it place while his truck is being repaired.

    All for now, my wonder woman friend. I'll be back later, of course.
    {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

    Hi Lynda
    You seem to shovel as much now as you did at the big house. I think the boys got your snowblower....hint hint guys....mom can use some help. Sorry the guy you hired didn't come. BUT. You got out. Too bad granddaughters weren't available to visit. Next time, call first?
    Very cold in St.Louis but dry. On Christmas Day the forecast is for 70sF...HOW CRAZY IS THAT.
    Have a great day. Enough shoveling.
    Marge

    Good Morning Lynda,
    It won't be long before Christmas day is here.
    Well, that's a bummer your plow guy wasn't able to clean your drive way. Hopefully, he gets his truck repaired soon or you may have to find someone else to do the job.
    It's in the home stretch for Christmas and I have such a busy week ahead, it's stressing me out a bit. Luckily, I have a massage scheduled for Tuesday and I will need it.
    I bet that Lopez isn't enjoying the snow so much. He's so tiny it wouldn't take much snow to be too deep for him. Would love to see some pictures of Lopez and Sushi.
    Don't overdo the shoveling and stay warm!

    Hugs,
    Jackie
