Mostly pictures but some words too
Today arrived with freezing rain, sleet and a light snow. The churches in the area started cancelling by 6 this morning and our church followed suit because all roads were covered with the slick ...
Still installing updates
I googled how long it is taking my new laptop to install the updates. It seems to be typical. I think it may take it longer to install the updates than it did for me to get it after I ordered it....
Friday's events
Unbelievable yesterday. I had already mentioned in yesterdays entry that I’d ordered a new laptop. Well it was delivered by FedEx before 10 yesterday AM. Awesome, I’d say, since I just ordered it...
Friday morning
Well, how about that. I didn’t get up until 6 this morning. Of course the reason is because I didn’t go to bed at 8 or 8:30. I didn’t get to bed until after 10 pm which is totally of the norm fo...
Wednesday AM
It is about 7:35 am and this was J’s early day to catch the bus. The bus arrives at 5:51 to pick him up and try as I might, I cannot get him to wear an extra coat on cold mornings such as this on...

I don’t know what to title this, but will have to eventually. I’ve been an obsessed crazy woman going high speed (well as high speed as I can go) on sewing. Not sure what got into me, but I’ve be...
Quilt top-baby
Only posting these two pictures of the quilt top I finished this morning. Still have to select the backing fabric and assemble the 3 layers. Then do the quilting and add the binding. A close up...
Internet connection better
It really is much better but for how long, I’m not sure. The tech showed up a little after 11. I’d just called the IP help number to find out if the appt had been changed or heaven forbid, the wo...
Friday AM 6:34
The roads are still bad in the outlying areas so most schools have cancelled again today and the big district that didn’t are running snow routes. Owen is going to stay with us today. His mom, A...
An early morning visitor(s)
Ok, I’m tired of winter now. Schools have started cancelling for today due to snow and freezing rain returning to our area. I had just texted J’s bus driver and told her I wasn’t sending him due ...
MLK Day
Martin Luther King Day. A three day weekend for many and I always liked getting this 3 day weekend not long after the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Ahhh. No big meals to prepare, no crowds e...
Saturday evening
J and I worked all day in his room. He is very methodical when it comes in going through his stuff. I asked him if he wanted me to do it and he said “no I’ll do it”. Think he was afraid I’d throw...
Purging J's room
Well it is Friday. As of this morning, I’ve received 3 phone calls from the work place. Two from boss’s office (1 from the Office Assit and 1 from him) and then 1 from the older male employee. O...
A no-clean or clutter day
I had to make a trip to get bread. I baked bread last weekend but J doesn’t much care for it. I fix him 2 pieces of toast and he has cereal for breakfast for now. Found a clear tackle like box i...
Connection Restored!!!!
New modem needed. Tech just left about 10 minutes ago and it got complicated when the password for my access was totally different than the password that I’d changed it to on Sat with the IP help...
Update on connection issues
I still have them and this morning at 4:45am there was absolutely no connection. It didn’t even tease me into “thinking” I may have a connection. So, after J’s bus came and left, I readied myself...
Internet connection to PB only
I think it is so strange that this is the only, and I mean only, website I can actually access and do anything with or in today. I called my IP and even though I spent an hour with the 1st person...
Internet issues or something
Not sure what is going on and if it is just my computer or internet connect or the network as a whole. The only site I can access this morning and yesterday evening was this one, which is a very ...
5th non-work Day
HeeHee. Yes, I think I’m going to very used to this new chapter. Went to Walmart yesterday and it was much more crowded than I expected. Even the check out person commented on it. Very few check...
And it begins
No, not deep cleaning yet. Taking down Christmas. Latest I’ve EVER been in taking down my trees and decorations on the inside. The tree is undecorated and in its box, taped up to go into the atti...
Happy New Years!! 2016

Flooded in
Well, the rain finally stopped. The temperatures are hovering at the freezing mark and most all of the roads, highways, and even interstate is closed this morning. Work has issued a 2 hr delay bu...
Rain rain GO AWAY
Oh my goodness! Way to much rain and coming down in torrents with high winds since late Friday night and even though for now the winds seem to have calmed the rain is still coming down. I discove...
Saturday, Dec 26, 2015
Another Christmas passes. So hectic and so busy before and during. Today should be a quiet day and I’m ready. Several things I need to do today and I shall do them, but no hurry, just complete be...
Christmas Eve
I want to wish each and everyone a Merry Christmas. My wish for you whether your celebration is very small or very large that you feel warmth and love. Taking a break for a few minutes. Been bus...
Book Description
I am a Bible believing woman. I try to keep my Faith strong and my prayer life active. I believe in the Trinity and that there is a Heaven and a Hell and Hell is not on earth. I also try to forgive those that have hurt me, my family, or my friends. I try to forgive those that I believe are not keeping our Country’s best interests in mind when they make decisions and change the Constitution to suit the whims and wishes of selfish persons. I also pray for those and myself and if it is me that needs to see things differently, then allow a scripture or two or three to show me the error of my way of believing or thinking.
I have 3 adult children. 2 boys and a girl. My husband and were married on 1 June 1975 and he died unexpectedly on 11 May 2005. My oldest son will be 36 in October, my daughter will be 33 in October, and the youngest boy turned 26 in January and he has Down Syndrome. He (J) and I built a house in 2008 and moved from a 3 bedroom house trailer, to a 4 bedroom home. We live in the house that God built.
