Sunny day today

It was so nice to see and hold Jasmin in person.... She is a very sweet baby and loves to be rocked and she fit just perfect in my arms too. Michelle said she would bring her often so I can watch her grow.
My sister Cathy's apartment building burned the night before last and she  just got out with what she was wearing which happened to be her pajamas and robe.... I cannot imagine to be awakened at 2 am and told the place was burning and to hurry and get out... She did not get hurt but her place is distroyed and she  was given some clothes to wear before she could get to the store and get necessary stuff... So far she is doing well and is still smiling. The Red Cross got her her medicine and new glasses and her car was saved and thats it. She was given a place to stay for 3 nights and then I don't know what. She has insurance but it takes awhile to get stuff back in the new apartment that she is getting and get back to living again.... Can you imagine everything you own being gone and starting over again? I can't but I guess we do what we must somehow. 47 People are without a home today.                                 
Leo put up my new clothes lines yesterday and I got to finally use them today.... I see where I should have turned it a bit fot the picture but ..... oh well. lol My other pole broke with a vine that was growing on it last fall and we couldn't replace it in the same spot. Besides the tree was shading it and now with this little one we bought he could put it up right in the middle of the lawn... haha  It's the only place with a lot of sun and nice breeze and I was surprised when he suggested it.... Well why not, huh? I could kinda hide my unmentionables though in the other spot. But I love it anyway and the neighbor lady doesn't care where she puts hers and she leaves them hanging sometimes for 2 days. I usually take mine off as soon as they are dry.
Well, guess thats it for today. I am still getting better but its taking so long... I get out of breath kinda fast. I have decided I need to lose weight but it is a slow process. Why is it so easy for me to gain it though I wonder.
Hope everyone is having a beautiful sunny day today, Sandra

Jasmine is a very pretty baby, I love that head of black hair. Sorry that you sister's apt burned. I know that will be hard on her and the other people to have to start over. Good for Leo getting your new clothes line put up. Helen

Wow, I'm glad your sister is OK.  I don't know what I would do in a situation like that. It's hard enough to get where we are today, let alone starting the journey over.  I hope she does OK.

Jasmin is a cutie and a very pretty name.  :-)

Hi can't imagine what your sister must be feeling now. What a terrible thing to happen it will be so hard for her to start again my thoughts are with her.  Glad you can get your washing out now but I hope it stays fair and does not rain on yours as it did mine. Love Joan.

The baby is so tiny...I love to hold them when they are small and just want to cuddle.  You are so fortunate to have her close by and can watch her grow.  I'll pray for your sister .  How devastating to loose everything.  I can't imagine it either.  Hope you arent' doing too much, just make sure to get lots of rest so you can be well again!  'On Ya' - ma

Wow!  You've had your share of excitement.  Am very thankful that your sister is safe and whole.....she'll get those things back eventually.  And Jasmine is a doll!  I'm sure her visit was a hightlight.  Oh, and way to go Leo!  ;o)  - Barbara
