Vera, thanks so much for selecting my winter border page! Super surprise this morning!

I'm supposed to be getting ready and out the door, but wanted to say good morning and surprise you all! It's cold but sunny. Hope it goes well today for you.

Yesterday's car episode turned out OK. Our insurance covers assistance and a man came pretty quickly and got the battery going. Meanwhile DH had made an appointment with the service dept., so he took the car straight there. The battery test said it was the battery and they replaced it. That we...

Afternoon, all. The sun is shining on the snow again today (oh well, groundhog!) but when we went out to run errands the car wouldn't start (notice that is THE car, only have one.) Someone is coming to try to start it and if that works (hope it's just a dead battery) DH is taking it in to the...

I LOVE it! Making word shapes is such fun but you really got it down perfect (I think). Makes them look as adorable as you say they are.

This is lovely, Trudy! A great place to take the grands for sure. OOB is so well done and the whole works together.

Oh, Trudy, thanks for recognizing my piece on Cleveland's "The Thinker." It happened so long ago that I'm sure few know or remember. Hope the page isn't too depressing. In some ways it's a sign we can and do endure.

Just a quick message from a place where the snow finally found us. About shingles: getting over them in a week sounds like a miracle. The people I've seen with them suffered immensely and for a long time. The sores are not the main problem, it is the nerve damage and pain.

I always use "New Posts" and it seems to be working for me - got ten just now.
