• Things That Made Me Smile This Week

    Things that made me smile this week…

    First….but no photograph….a check from the insurance company for my daughter’s car that surpassed my wildest dreams. Sweet! Wispy clouds that dance in a blue sky…. ….followed by beautiful sunsets…. …and my sweet moon shot ~ I know I posted it the other day, but it did make me smile this week  🙂  …. …new beginnings… …and waiting for them to say hello…. …an early morning movie to see the epic ending of a wonderful series of movies with my sister…. ….followed by lunch at one of our favorite restaurants where we talked almost non stop about the movie. PS ~ the movie did not disappoint…I loved it, right down to the last minute.…

    Outside My Window ~ 3.6.11

    Outside My Window…is a gray, drizzly day.  Currently at 11:00 a.m., we are at 61°F and quite cloudy.  There is a chance of rain this morning but a greater one this afternoon when our temps will climb to about 64°F for the high and we will experience steady rains and thunder.  It sounds like a typical spring day even though the first day of spring is actually two weeks away.  Two Weeks!  I’m really looking forward to spring….I am so tired of the cold this year.  Trees and plants are coming back to life in full force….before we know it there will be warmer temps and sunny days….as well as the yellow/green…

    Outside My Window ~ 1.16.11

    Outside My Window…is cold and dark.  At 8:45 p.m. it is 34°F but feels like 29°F.  Cold….cold….cold….every day….Cold.  I shouldn’t complain too much because we aren’t buried under snow and ice…we have had lots of sunshine and our temperatures are hovering around average….Cold.  It doesn’t help that I got my sticker shock electric bill a few days ago for the last month.  I literally gasped when I saw how much it was.  I keep my house a little cooler than most….my youngest complains about being cold all the time….we put on sweat pants and long sleeves.  I can’t even imagine how much it would have been if I had the…
