Drizzly Monday…

but this too shall pass and make way for sunny skies and mid 70s the rest of the week.  It is only 7 days on the countdown to Spring which is one week from tomorrow.

I feel good this morning and I am having a halfway decent good hair day.  what more could a person ask for?

I have to leave in a few minutes to run errands but first I had to share Julie Larson and the Dinette Set with you.

I suffered a…

nearly sleepless night thanks to the time change and the after effects of the gorgeous stuffed pizza.  My tummy is really mad at me today and my eyes are all puffy.  And it is not a good hair day either.  Oh the misery afforded the over the hill gang.  Did I learn my lesson, well for a few days anyway.  My son called me last night and told me not to eat any more of the stuff, just to package and put it in the freezer for him.  Problem solved.

It is another spectacular morning, bright sunshine and a temp of 43 right now.  It is to be mid 60s today and into the mid 70s all week after some rain tonight.  The countdown to Spring stands at 8 days, ever inching closer to the 20th of March.  The robins are thick in the front yard now and the lot between me and the cemetery is also filled with them.

I hope to get out for a walk in the cemetery this afternoon.  there is so much of it I haven’t explored yet.

Gas is $3.99 a gallon here in town now.  There should be some kind of solution for that.  I feel sorry for those minimum wage earners and us poor old fixed income folks having to fill the gas tank each week.There goes 3/4 of our paycheck.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Better late than never…

I guess, as I don’t want to break my blogging streak which stands at 101 posts in a row now.

OK, you say, that is all well and good but why am I so late with my post.  My niece came over and had lunch with me.  A stuffed pizza from Papa Murphy’s.   Yumm!!  Bring on the tums and the Maalox.  It was delicious though and even though I know that I shouldn’t eat it, I do indulge once in awhile.

The finished product, straight from my oven.  There was quite a bit left over.  Pizza anyone??

It is a beyond gorgeous day on this the 9th day till the first day of Spring.  It is 54 degrees and the sun is shining brightly.  A really spectacular day to be alive! 

I have all of my clocks set forward except for one clock in the living room and my cable and computer which set themselves. 

Sorry that you had to come and visit me so many times RB.  I will try and post earlier tomorrow, 

I hope you all have a nice peaceful weekend.  Do stay safe and be happy!!

Windows Live Spaces Friends,,,

Many of my blogging friends don’t remember the days of Windows Live Spaces.   There are still a few of us left who have been together for almost 7 years now.  Those few are very special to me in addition to the new blogging friends I have made since moving to Blogspot.  One of my friends from WLS has gifted me with a beautiful award.    http://rappingonamelody.blogspot.com/ designed this award.  She is a very talented lady who has been my loyal blogging friend since the days of WLS.  THANKS!!

I try to check my blogger dashboard daily to see who has posted.  I then try to comment, if it is only a ‘Hi, how are you.’  I would love for all of you my loyal blogging friends to post this award on your blog.  A special thanks to Paul (my adopted brother). Nancy, Carole,Carol,Ed,Joe, Horst, Nita, Sheila, Pen, Arlene, Jerry, Dianne, Fab, Terry, Sherry, Lady Jude, Chip, Bertie (and a few more I know I am missing) for sticking with me for several years now.  For praying for Jim and holding me up when he passed away.  Also thanks to the many new friends I have found since being on blogspot.   Too many to name but I appreciate you all.  OOOPS, I about forgot Seth who is every mother’s dream of the perfect son and has been a faithful blogging friend for years.  Thanks Seth for cheering me up and encouraging me.  You all will surely be blessed!

I have been out running errands this morning so I am late as usual.  Don’t give up on me RB.  If you don’t see my post just check back later.

It is a lovely day on this on the 10th day till the  first day of Spring.  The temp is 34 right now and the sun is shining brightly.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Stay safe and be happy!!
