Dreary Thursday…

all day long.  We did have a forecast for rain last night but so far nothing.  It is a typical fall type day in the heart of Illinois.  I wouldn’t mind some sunshine but I will take the day anyway I can get it.   I am thankful for each new day and I always hope that I can make the best of it.  Not always easy to do sometimes, but still, that is my goal when I get up each morning.
I do feel a bit sad today.  This would have been my oldest sister’s Corrie’s birthday.  Even though she has been gone for a long time I still miss her and have good memories of her.  She married when I was a small child and I do remember feeling bereft when she left.  Actually she and my next older sister married the same year at a very young age.  I can remember having dreams about them and hoping they would come back home.

This is the only picture that I could find of Corrie.  That is her oldest son Mike.  I am not sure when this picture was taken. I am sure I have some more pictures somewhere.
I have been to Walmart this morning and purchased a new camera.  I have the battery charging right now and I will take some pictures to try it out later today. 
I am waiting impatiently for my sis (Rae) to come,  She is flying in on Saturday and will stay until my birthday on the 25th.  What a wonderful birthday present.  Actually the 25th is my Twin’s birthday too.
I hope you are all having a great day.
