I thought I would share my pictures of the big snow I took today. I know it will go away soon and am hoping the damage isn't too great....
Now I have to go and get something else done before the day is over. I hope we all have had our share of snow for the year now..... I've had enough thats for sure.... Sandra

Guess Spring is not here after all
So Spring is not here yet I guess. We are getting snow and it will continue for a couple of days until we get 10 inches they say.... I just knew we weren't finished yet as its still only Feburary.... We have a few weeks to go yet I think. right now the snow is blowing and its a light snow.... it will get harder and heavier and still blowing I guess.... Gary shoveled the driveway once so far..... had to go to the street to get the paper. Don't need the snowblower yet but I suppose before its over it will be needed.
Say a prayer for my neighbor please. She was being treated for lung cancer and now the doctors found 2 tumers on her brain. She is staying with her son and daughter in law now.... I hope she isn' t in pain is all. I just found this out yesterday as it came on suddenly.
So now how to I change this thought to something happy? After all this is supposed to be my Happy Days journal isn't it? I am just so lucky..... the other day when I went out to get the cat that sneeked outside I slipped and fell on some ice I didn't see and was flat on my back in a blink of an eye..... no broken bones and only a sore back etc but am feeling pretty good today. I ended up crawling into the house and trying to catch my breath.... the cat stayed outside for awhile and didn't leave the yard and since it was cold out when I called him 10 min later he came running in..... All's well that ends well so they say. :)
So today will be a day of reading and watching a bit of tv later I think. Hope you are well and happy, Sandra

Is Spring coming?
It was above freezing today...... and should possibly be the rest of the week too and then what? Snow maybe? I think we will still get the big one but I hope Im wrong.... Winter has been so nice and relaxing but Im ready for sitting on the porch and reading again and drinking iced tea etc.... :) We are cutting back on the yard work so I hope we can get ahead of it this year. Leo helped me so much in the fall Iam almost looking forward to it again..... I think the secret is not to do it and just wait until we can both do it .... at least I hope thats the secret....
My diet started showing up on the scale today and that really makes me happy... now I wonder if I ate too much for supper. I won't eat anymore tonight and hope for the best.... didn't have much to eat today so maybe its ok....
The race was good yesterday.... Jeff came in the top 10 so that was good because there were so many crashes. Everyone wants to win the Daytona 500. Mike and Teri were going to go to the pre races but Teri got sick and ended up in the hospital... her doctor thought it was appendix but I guess not because they let her go home after 2 days. they said the white cell count was getting back to normal and she stopped throwing up. she is on antibiotics now and seems to be feeling much better. She wanted to go home and she will go back to the doctor in a week or two. I hope everything is ok now.
I think I will play a few games on my computer and then read or watch tv... supper is over and the dishes done so its time to do anything I want..... I remember when it was the busy time... homework with the kids and getting them ready for tomorrow and putting them to bed and finally have time to iron etc ....those were the days. I actually do miss them and wish we had what we do now so I could do it all over again.... but you can't go back and life now is good too.
hope everyone is having a nice evening. Sandra

BRRRRRRRR
As long as its so cold outside I decided to come in and write a bit today. I don't plan on going outside today. -15 with a wind chill of -30 is not my idea of a nice day even if the sun is shinning. All the schools are closed today. My son still had to go to work though and his car started too. He keeps it outside but its a new car so I guess thats why. I hope this cold spell ends soon. I have a feeling the kids won't be going to school for a few days.
Leo got up and ate his breakfast and now hes back in bed. lol I think I will do my laundry etc and play on the computer.
The Colts won the Super bowl yesterday and that is a good thing too. Now in a few days the Nascar races begin again... We like that too. Can you believe they are selling plants and flowers on QVC already? I guess all are not as cold as we are here in Wisconsin but our day will come too. and we will appreciate it so much when it does come.... in the meantime we will hibernate I guess.
Hope you are having a good day, Sandra

Happy Birthday to me
Today is my birthday and Leo went and got me this cute birthday cake. He ordered it from the bakery he and I used to work for before we got married. they make the best cake and I always liked this one especially and he remembered it..... he is getting finer in his old age isn't he... :)
I think we will have 6 more weeks of winter but it isn't too bad this year. My sister said it will be 32 in the next 15 days so after that everything should be getting better I guess. It's always so nice to look forward to spring isn't it? I can hardly wait to sit on the porch again. The sun is shinning today and that is always a good thing but at this time of year it also means a cold day for some reason.
I went to the doctor and the eye doctor and everything is fine!!!!! also got the lump off my head and the dentist so now all I have to do that didn't get done last year is lose dreaded pounds.... I will do that though.... doctor wants me back in 6 months and he said it would be nice if I could lose 10 or 15 by that time.... I will try...... sometimes all a person thinks about in winter is what to cook or what would be good to eat.... guess its time to take my slim cook books out again......
Hope you are all having a wonderful day, Sandra

Snowy Sunday
I bought these puppets from the web site after my sister Joans daughter Laura came back from a trip to Peru and had gotten some from the ladies there. I couldn't make any so nice. If you want to take a look the web site is under the picture.
I had fun last night..... My son and his daughter Carley came over and there is never a dull moment when she is around. First she told me about the fun she had sliding down the hill with a tube Rick just got. then she looked around here in my computer room and I have my makeup in my vanity here and she decided I needed some sprucing up. first she decided my nails needed polishing .... I din't say anything and she proceded to polish my nails..... (she is 9) first she put some under coat on and then while that was drying she was picking out the color to use and then put some lipstick on me. then she put some dark red polish on my nails ...... I wish I could have laughed but she was so serious and so I just let her. she told me to close my eyes but I felt her doing it and she was polishing from the outside in and then dabbing it on too. then we had to wait for it to dry ( quite awhile as it was pretty thick) then she put some stuff on my eyebrows and she did that the same way.... I have a little brush for that and she was brushing my eyebrows the wrong way and then she rubbed them with her fingers..... then she put some under my eyes and after she said grandma I don't know why but you have dark spots under you eyes so she put some hand cream all over my face..... then she wiped off the lipstick and put 2 more colors on and then she used eye shadow on my eyes and then she looked for the sparkly stuff and I guess she found it .... then she got this fuzzy thing and put it on my hair and then I had to go and show everyone how pretty I was... LOL she said I don't know why but Grandmas face is kinda red isn' t it..... anyway it was fun
Then she wanted some printer paper to write a story. She wrote the cutest story and even made pictures. then Rick said it was time to go but she wasn't done yet she wanted to play with my little dolls and gave them all names .......I think she wanted to take one home but she didn't ask.... I would have let her Im sure... maybe next time. Anyway she made my day. I miss having kids around. Oh I still have the polish on my nails in case she comes over again today but she probably won't because we are having a nice old fashioned snow storm.
We are just sitting around now after church and lunch waiting for the 2 football games to start. (yes I did wear the polish to church, lol)

Beautiful Sunny day
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
It sure started out nice ~ warmer weather and sunshine for the second day now.... Gary and Rick were talking about golfing :)
Nice that the Packers won the last game ~ hope Farve doesn't quit but if he does he went out on a good note and everyone wanting him to stay.
Also nice Wisconsin won the bowl game too.
I put away my Christmas presents this morning and Gary his last night and now its Leo's turn. He is always the last one to put his away.... He went to pay some bills this morning and is talking about taking the lights off the trees outside while the weather is nice..... I would be happy to see them a little while longer but if he wants to thats fine because it's a big job. Then maybe tomorrow we will take our tree down and get back to living our "normal" good life. :)
Shari and Dan and Mindy and Ryan should be coming home tomorrow and that is so nice!!!! we missed them. I know they had a wonderful vacation though and am happy for all my sunshine kids....
So back to work I go.... dishwasher needs emptying ....lol
