THE BIG CHILL

No, I'm not refering to the movie. It is COLD outside here right now! I truly hate wintertime. You would think living here all my life would alter my outlook on the season, but no such luck. The snowstorm hasn't started here yet, thankfully. Sometime this evening for sure. What can you do? Margaret... Sign in to see full entry.

OLD MAN WINTER IS IN A BAD MOOD!

Happy Sunday my friends... Wow, is it ever cold! It's only thirty something degrees outside...windy as all get out. We're littered in snow, and more is on the way starting sometime late tomorrow into Wednesday! Lady kabu, do you think your Martin would mind if I popped into visit the family in Oz?...

A BRAND NEW LIFE

Congratulations to my friend Sarah and her husband, Phil. Last night, they welcomed their second beautiful baby boy, Finn, into the world! Mum and baby are both at home and doing well.

THE TRUE STORY OF EMMA AND KRISTOFF HOLZMANN

Well, it's based on a true story, anyway... Sometime before the end of WW2, my Uncle Bobby was stationed in Germany. I don't know where, exactly. If he ever said, I don't remember. But that doesn't really matter. While he was there, he tried to help as many people as he could. Eventually, he met and... Sign in to see full entry.

OH, MY GOD...I CAN'T STOP CRYING

January is such a rotten month for me. Firstly because it means that winter is here full on and I can't leave my house for months on end. And of course I lost my hero...My Great-Grandpa on New Year's Day, 1996...New year will never, ever be a time of celebration for me. I was never big on... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT NEXT?

I try not to glouse or complain or be in a bad mood. Really, I do. but what the hell is going to happen to us next? Do we not have enough on our plates lately? No, apparently, we don't. Our clothes dryer is officially useless. Margaret just went to turn it on twice...and nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zippo.... Sign in to see full entry.

FINDING PEACE

Hi everyone... Thank you all very much for your comments regarding my post of last night. I spoke to Grammy earlier this afternoon, and she's doing okay. As Mum and I suspected, Uncle Bobby didn't want-or have-a funeral service. He chose instead to be cremated. However, Grammy has decided to hold a... Sign in to see full entry.

THE SHADOWS OF JANUARY

I'm so sad. I'm shocked...heartbroken... I just got off the phone with Mum a few minutes ago. Please pray for my Grammy. Her brother, my Uncle Bobby, died suddenly just a couple of hours ago. His wife Marilyn called Grammy from Florida. Bobby had suffered a heart attack a month ago, but had... Sign in to see full entry.

UNDER CONSIDERATION

Hi everyone... I wanted to thank all of you for your kind and caring comments regarding my post of yesterday. What I should have stated more clearly is that there is no garuntee that I'll ever fully get off my benefits...much as I want to. I'm sick to death of being considered "welfare" material by...

HERE I AM

Hi everyone and happy Friday! I hope you're all doing well and keeping warm, wherever you may be! It's much warmer here today than over the past two, but still too cold for yours truly!

A TIDAL WAVE

GETTING ON WITH THINGS

I'm stiff all over today! Blasted cold and snow! However, there is some good in every situation, and this one is no different. After my (very) late lunch, I decided to use the "bike." I knew I wanted to move for at least forty five minutes at the most. I'm trying to rebuild myself up slowly because... Sign in to see full entry.
