THE SUN IS SHINNING

Here comes the sun!!!!!!!!!! So far its been sunny all day. The first time this year. The weather man said last night we should call it a holiday and celebrate.  :)
Leo took the rest of the lights off the house yesterday and today he got the last tree in back.... I have the Christmas box upstairs but I have not taken the ornaments off the tree... tomorrow will be the day I suppose. We have to go with Gary to the doctor tonight... he is starting to get better finally... good thing we didn't wait longer. The doctor gave him pills for depression and some for anxiety too and they have just started to help.... for awhile it was one day he was good and the next really bad but now it has been 2 days in a row we have seen him actually smile again and mean it..... The lawyer hasn't gotten his things back but now he doesn't expect him too anymore and isn't as anxious about it.... when they decide thats when he will get it all back... We didn't know how the police worked before but we do now and even if you are innocent they can take your things and only give them back when they feel like it...someday it will be forgotten I hope.
I started a new puzzle today.... really small pieces too and 750 of them.... I hope someone helps me with this one too because it is hard.... the edges are finished and some of the inside but oh boy..... it is hard.... but it will be so pretty when it is finished. It sparkles and is supposed to glow in the dark too... am I nuts to waste my time like this or what?
But the sun is shinning and soon it will go down and maybe we will see it again tomorrow but at least we saw it today.... hope the sun is shinning for everyone today, Sandra

out with the old and in with the new

Peaches and Twinkie light up our lives..... but I sure wish ole sol would do his job too. I heard we may get sun today but it sure looks like that is wrong.. I will keep my fingers crossed though as it is only 11 am.
   I have the Christmas blankets and pillows put away and I have 2 nice new pillows on the sofa in the family room..... but I need to put the knic nacks back because it looks a little bare. I had race cars on the shelves and mantle before but not in the mood to put those back just now so I will be hunting for something else I think.... Something that fits in... it is not a formal room. Iam sure I will find something around the house, it's just a matter of looking. :) In the meantime maybe I will find something for supper and then come in here and play canasta for awhile. The pogo sight said its free only til February and then I will have to pay..... don't like paying for something like a game so maybe will find a new one. I used to play Bingo but I see that is not on anymore either. I guess I should start another pair of slippers or something. maybe a new puzzle as I have a really nice one waiting for me... It sparkles by day and glows by night.... should be fun.
Have a nice day today and hope the sun shines soon, Sandra
I just went out into the garage to recyle a bottle and then went out the door for a breath of fresh air and I actually saw the moon shinning so bright!!!!!! first time for me to see that this year. sure hope the sun shines on us tomorrow even if I do have to wear my sunglasses. I should have gone for a walk but not alone and not with supper in the oven either, LOL Can you guess how nice it was after about 2 weeks or so of clouds. A person needs a day or 2 a week I would think of the sun... :)

Another one of those days :)

Charlie is still my buddy, sitting on the sewing machine while I use my computer. He is a wonderful cat!
  In case anyone was wondering my Sons step daughter is doing fine. She just had heartburn the doctor said. Just finally talked to my son this morning and everything is fine.
  Today I will just be doing a little laundry and probably finish up the puzzle I started yesterday. Didn't think I would be able to but since I worked on it yesterday with Tyler it seems to be fitting together. not going to complain about the sun not here again ~ the weather man changed his mind again. :) Hope its shinning by you, Sandra

Still NO Sun

Rick and Carley came over last night and she brought her favorite dolls along. The roads were icy so Rick decided to stop by our house to be safe. Good idea! I decided to take some pictures and Carley let me take a lot but she wanted me to have them printed and sent to her too.... I got her the album so I guess that is what I will do, after all that is what her step grandmother did. :)
  Today Tyler and Mindy and friends got home from Florida. They drove straight though and Tyler did most of the driving. Then he came to see me right away before sleeping. He had presents to give us from Mike and Teri so I had another Christmas... I got some really really nice things too. I had just started working on a hard puzzle and Tyler thought it was quite challenging so he stayed with me for 3 hours and I guess we got about half of it finished. Its only a 500 piece one but it is so hard and every time we got a piece in we congratulated ourselves.... it was a lot of fun....
So I had a good day today even if the sun wasn't shinning.
hope you did too, Sandra

Sun for 2 minutes today

I finished the puzzle Shari had made for me and bought a frame and glued it to the cardboard backing and I now have a nice picture of the puzzle, and a nice remembrence of the picture I took last summer,  part of my Christmas present from my daughter. So today I have something to smile about because it turned out pretty nice didn't it?  Shari and Dan came home today after being with one of our sons and Daughter in laws for 2 long weeks in Florida... to them they were short weeks though. They came home to dreary and cold... it was blue skies and warm most of the time they were there. Their children Mindy and Tyler were there too with their boyfriend and girlfriend and they stayed just one more day to go to the beach again. Mindys boyfriend Alex is a serfer and I think he convinced them but they too wanted to stay. College vacation is over soon enough. Now they will be ready to study again for the 3 and Tyler will be back to work with his Dad.... I can hardly wait to see all the pictures.
I started putting away some Christmas knic nacks today...Remember I didn't put too many out so it is going fast. I will put a few more away tomorrow and then probably Sat I will take the tree down or I will wait til Monday. Then we are in for a long winters nap.... If the sun starts to shine it will be so much better too.... Iam getting to be obsessed with that darn ole sun aren't I.... LOL
Now I will go and start another pair of slippers. I finished Tylers and am on to Cindys... Gives me something easy to do but its nice to have something to show for just sitting around.
Hope you are having a nice sunny day, Sandra

WE NEED SUN

It is a very very dreary day today.................. I need some sun and so does my husband, lol we went shopping for a few things and groceries this morning and I said something wrong but didn't realize how it came out and he got really mad... whoops. My son called me in the middle of the night because his step daughter was having pains and he didn't know what to do... she is a little over 5 months pregnant  so I told him to call the doctor or go to the hospital... they would know much better than me what to do. She is only 16 and I suspect she may be losing the baby.... I know sometimes when a girl is so young the baby will come early. She knows its a girl and she has the name picked out and some little clothes are gotten already.... I hope it all turns out but Iam waiting for him to call me back and let me know what is happening..... I couldn't go back to sleep and now I'm so tired you wouldn't believe... If I laid down maybe the phone would ring again..... Leo said before the phone rang the cat was running around the house and was pestering the dogs in our bed so he got up and laid on the sofa and the cat followed and laid on his chest and when he pushed him off he started going nuts running around the room and making a lot of noise..... no wonder we are both tired today.  The thing is Leo did get some more sleep but I couldn't so I sat and read for a couple of hours until it was time to go to the store and now I think I will go and read again for a bit and maybe I can fall asleep in the chair.
A little sun wouldn't hurt either.... not to be because it is snowing and then raining and then snowing...... must be something to smile about though somewhere right?????  Let me know :) Sandra

It's Raining all over

The rose bowl parade is so beautiful and then it had to go and rain on the parade. It must be such a disapointment to many but it is still beautiful beyond belief isn't it. I hope you didn't have to work today so you can watch it.
    I started reading a good book yesterday and while watching the Wisconsin Badger football game today I will be reading it from time to time.... Leo went to pay the bills and spend some of his Christmas money.... I have mine waiting for a sunnier day. He wants a new electric razor and thats what he will get with some of it.He got a new telephone the other day but while looking ours over we decided it just needed new batteries... lol we didn't know. So he is taking the phone back and will get a shaver that probably needs new batteries too..... its one of those you plug in though and he has had it for a long time so he probably needs a new one... or new blades for the other one but oh well.....
  Gary seems to be feeling a little better today.... he had a good nights sleep and is not complaining of anything so that makes me feel better too. hope it continues. I hope the pills are working finally.
So Maybe this new year will be a happy one after all. Last year turned out to be the worst ~ the last couple of months of it anyway. Not just for me but so many in my family.
Hope your year is beginning on a happy note too, Sandra
