    The First One

    This is the first time my big girl drove away in her new car this past February….right after we got home and put the plates on, she was off to show her friends…it was not spanking new, but it was new to her.  The car is in excellent shape for its age….no dings, no bumps, no bruises.  So you can imagine how she felt when she received the first one this past Saturday night….nothing catastrophic or life threatening, but it was a very big deal to her.  Her ‘baby’ had been damaged.

    Outside My Window ~ 2.28.10

    Outside My Window…is blue skies, sunshine and a slight breeze.  The temperature at 11:30 a.m. is 42º with a 37º wind chill….forecast high is expected to be around 54º.  It doesn’t actually feel all that chilly outside.  I was surprised to see the wind chill was that low.  I went out earlier this morning without a jacket and thought it felt quite nice. I am thinking…about all the things I need to get accomplished today.  It is a bit of a list, but not an impossibility.  I started some chores early this morning and decided to take a break to do this post for the day. I am thankful for…not getting sick last…
