and below, Miss Hannah, Son#2's daughter
and son#2,with the blond hair-- Son#1 and Allison
Is life the same?--- NO!!! It sure isn't !
But--I do have Lopez, and Sushi, and some wonderful friends, and a nice guy who asks me to share meals with him--Is it the same?--NO! But-- It could always be worse I guess!--The little house is better than an apartment--Lopez has a back yard--I don't cry as much-- (but, I still cry)-People are very kind-- A lovely Lady came to visit me yesterday and I appreciated her coming here to chat, so so much!---And if any of you reading this want go come over , please do--and, if you have a friend who has lost their spouse, visit them-- It does help to keep the tears away--Sushi helps also!!-(The cat who I found in the bush many yrs ago-- and kept--not knowing then how much support she would one day, give me)--Everything really does happen for a reason!
So, get off of here--Face this day with all your inner might--
I shall see yu to-morrow!
Remember Long faces make short lives!-
Decide what is important in life and disregard the rest.
and
Cheerfulness is the principal ingredient in health!
stay warm and stay safe it is getting warm in AZ again but that is to be expected here so glad thet your son in in his way home
ReplyDeleteQuote for the day
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Winston Churchill
Great Quote--I love it!--Lynda
DeleteI love the quote--I mustv remember that==Lynda
DeleteMorning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteYes, today is Groundhog Day. I am not a big believer in those predictions. I think they should just leave that poor groundhog alone and let him live a normal groundhog life.
This has been a cold winter for a lot of us. We are expecting 3-5 inches of snow tomorrow. There will probably be big a run to the grocery store for essentials by everyone, which should be fun (just kidding) since today is my normal grocery day.
Good to hear Son#2 is winging his way home. And I am sure it's a relief for you. Wow, safe rooms in the hotel, that is scary that they need to have those.
You have a wonderful Monday and stay warm!
Hugs,
Jackie
Yes it is Groundhog day--Allison 's dog died--thats why I am so late finishing this post-Lynda
DeleteSon#2 is almost home-- so nice to get him out f that country-Lynda
DeleteGood morning, Lynda! It is sunny and 13 in Ohio but so much snow on the ground! That groundhog says six more weeks of Winter! Happy Matt is on his way home! When will son #1 make it back home? Stay warm and have a marvelous Monday!
ReplyDeleteSon #1will; be back here I think Wednesday--I do miss them,-Lynda
Deleteso so happy that he is back in Canada--Lynda
DeleteGood morning, sis.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit warmer here...10F and beautifully sunny. It's supposed to reach 20F!
The groundhog saw his shadow...six more weeks of winter. We knew that. He didn't even have to tell us!
Two friends (male) shoveled all around my car yesterday late afternoon...and cleaned the car off, too. Now, today, I can go do my errands.
It's been a good day so far, except I woke up to kitty throw up on the carpet. It's been a couple weeks, and we have to excepect it with our feline pets. They're worth it.
I'll be back later, too, Lynda to see how your day went. I think of you during that time away from here.
Oh, I forgot yesterday to say that I am not a Trump fan, either. I am for human rights for EVERYONE! {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
No--Canadians do not like Trump--Poor Allison--Her dog was vomiting and then died--last nite--Matt on his way home-- Andrew soon also--Lynda
DeleteNo-- are not fanS of Tump--HopefuLly he sill gEt out of that office soon==Lynda-He iS doing a lot of wierd things--not normal--like trying to take Greenland--Crazy--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteIt's finally above freezing here YAY.
Im glad Matt is headed back home. Long, long flight but hes headed in the right direction. How far is Ontario from his lake house? I assume its far.
Yes, the official groundhog saw his shadow...the St.Louis zoo groundhog did not. Either way its six more weeks of winter. We can do it.
Enjoy your day.
I love Snoopy.
Warm hugs from St.Louis
Marge
1 do not like Matt flying there-- 11 to 12 hrs to fly there-- I dont like him going there--He cud hear bombs going off--Lynda
DeleteWarmer day here too! When I taught kindergarten, my little students loved Ground Hog Day....as we had crafts and activities to make it a fun special day! As adults, I don't think many of us believe that a ground hog can predict when spring weather will actually arrive, but I think we just need a diversion to tolerating winter cold and snow! I am just thankful that the temperatures today are supposed to rise about freezing and hopefully my snow packed street will thaw and it will be easier to drive on!
ReplyDeleteOh Sandra-- It will be wondertful to get rid of all the snow!-Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. Yes, I'm glad I don't live where it's snowing so much. I talked with my SIL on Friday to wish him a Happy Birthday. They live in Roanoke, Virginia where is has snowed so much that they closed the schools for an entire week. They almost NEVER get snow! It snowed here yesterday but only about 2 inches, and the light powdery snow. More protests here - now they are going after our Target Stores. I'm so over this! I hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYes-- Isn't that terrible--Here too--Our dollar stores--Lynda
DeleteHi, it's Marti. I read that it is just a fun tradition to get people out and about and forgetting about the - what i call it - the SUCK of January. Have anyone of you seen "Groundhog Day?" If not, you really should watch it, it's a great little movie! My bf and I - we used to watch it every year at this time and decided to make our anniversary on this day, only we broke up, so we cannot celebrate it anymore, oh well. But I WILL watch the movie, probably tonight! Tradition, you know!
DeleteMarti
Oh, and gosh, I forgot to comment about your daughter's dog! Losing a dog is almost harder than losing a person, and so, my condolences to her! And particularly if it was sudden and unexpected.
DeleteMarti
Ohh Marti--She is so sad--The dog was 10 yrs old and they loved this dog so much!--And she cdid not expect thE dog to die-- I sent flowers--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! I’m so sorry to see this about Allison’s dog! Same thing with my first yorkie that left us 3 years ago. It happened fast! I am 40 minutes from her so I know she feels my sorrow for her and the family! Please tell her from Ashland. She will know where I am.
ReplyDeleteOK_-I shall tell her and then get back to yu-She is in Medina--Lynda
DeleteWell the cardiology visit did NOT go well. He has to be off his cardiac med for 3 mths. If slow heart rate continues, he will need a pacemaker. Has an appt. oo in May BUT if he continues w/the slow heart rate over the next 2 weeks, that’s it for me. We go back. He is freaked out, and I am a little, too, but just remaining calm. One day @ a time. Prayers.
ReplyDeleteStay warm in the cold. Our Punx predicts 6 more weeks of Winter.
I love the blasts from the past.
I am going to print out that saying . . . long faces make short lives. Yes. I have to remember that.
hugs and blessings
barb
Prayers for the husband with the slow heart rate--THat would worry me also-- I feel sorry for yu both-- so-- BIG PRAYERS__Barb, he will be OK--I just feel it in my bones-Lynda
