pictures maybe

I am trying to learn how to post pictures - let's see if I can get it right!

I tried to do 4 pictures at one time but that didn't work so here is the "big cake" picture.

back to the same old thing

I am feeling quite good today for a change and I like it. Doing laundry and getting caught up on the bills, newspapers, and blogs, which I didn't look at for a week. Miss the kids already. Did find one lone sock and one pair of 3D glasses, oh, and the blackboard you wanted, Andi is still in the garage. I don't know how you would have gotten it in the car but we will bring it up when we come next time, I hope in April but don't hold your breath. I have to bug Terry to show me again how to get my pictures on the blog, I just can't seem to remember.

all gone

I haven't posted in awhile, not that I post very often, but my oldest son, his wife and the grandkids were here all week and now they have gone home. It's very different with 7 extra people in the house but I loved having them here. We had lots of fun, food and shopping. Saw the new Alice in Wonderland movie, they went to the beach, we shopped two different days - one day for 4 hours and the other for about 3 1/2 hours. We went minature golfing - I sat in the wheelchair and watched and took pictures. I hope to get some pictures up this week. And of course we went to the used book store. Now the house is very quiet and I miss them already!

Birthday

If your birthday was coming up what one thing would you like to get for it????

The lights went out

We've had beautiful weather lately (in the low 80's) no rain, sleet, snow, not even any big winds, yet yesterday at 3:30 the lights went out! The power was off all around us. The power stayed off for 11 hours. we went out to eat but missed the Olympics, did get some reading done though by one of those lights on a headband that Terry had out in his truck. I've been away from places that the electric goes out often so I now need to remind myself to stock up on candles again. Don't know if Bugsy, the cat, liked it or not but she just wanted to sit on my lap all night.

birds

Terry took me to the wild bird sanctuary today for Valentines Day. I haven't been out of the house for a long time except to do some shopping so it was really nice. I did have to use the wheelchair (which I haven't used in many months) because there was just too much walking for me. It was so much fun to see the different birds, squirrels, turtles. The hummingbirds had a ball playing in the trees and chasing each other. They would fly right by your head or sit in the tree on a branch so close you could almost touch them. Unfortuantly I didn't have my camera with us, it would have been fun to get a close up of the hummingbirds. Hope everyone had a nice Valentines Day.

plant

It's been raining at least 3 day straight,every week, in the last 4 weeks so the ground is really soaked and thankfully soft enough for me to take my little hand shovel and make some hole for bulbs. It has been several years since I've been physically able to plant and I really miss my garden. There is nothing like home grown corn, red beets, green beans, etc.
