To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

First Day Of Spring

It is raining and going to turn to snow . 6 to 8 inch's maybe. The first day of spring. Really?
My son,his girlfriend and two more friends just left for a Colorado Spring Break Ski Trip. They have to drive in a snow storm to get to more snow. Me, I would of went to the beach. Silly Kids.
Mom is sleeping. Of course it is 6 am. I should go back to bed too. But I was hungry and made me a blueberry bagel. It was good. I think mom might have a UTI. Seems to be going around the family. My sis had one and even her little 4 yr. old granddaughter. They both had to make a trip the the ER. Mom has them off and on. I have talked about them before. It is common for people in moms condition.
We went down a diaper size which shows mom is losing weight . Also common. Even if she ate like a horse she would start losing weight at some point in this disease. Of course she does not eat like a horse. I do that for both of us.Think I'll have another bagel.
Had a dad at

Winter Wonderland Again






This is our second big snow of the season. We have been without a good snow for years and we had two already this year. Lately we have just been getting nasty ice. I like the snow better.




Mom is napping I told her we had a big snow storm but she made no comment. She ate a good breakfast and was happy to get in her easy chair. Some people look forward to the day when all they have to do is eat and sleep. No more getting up in the morning and going to work. Well I think that may be over rated. Look out for what you wish for.



My son is playing his piano. He finally came home. I was glad to see him.
Doing homework and playing on his guitar, banjo or piano keeps him busy at home.He also can play the trumpet but we sold it on Ebay. We have music all the time. Mom used to yell when he played his trumpet or guitar but now she just sleeps. Those were the good old days.


I told him if he gets bored he can go shovel the driveway. I won't hold my breath. :)

Mom's New Do.



I finally got around to cutting mom's hair. After the aid washed it this morning I got busy. What do you think? If she would open her eyes it might be better.


We had freezing rain last night . Just a little on top of our snow we also got yesterday and the night before. Not much but enough to close some schools on there first day back from Christmas break.I bet a few kids were happy. Mine is bored and whats to start his new classes at the UofA. But they don't go back till the 7th.

I took a picture of our messy backyard. With the snow it looks kind of nice.

My son and his girlfriend are playing scrabble. They ask me to play but I had to ask them how to spell scrabble so I could put it in my post . So no I don't want to play.

Arkansas won the Liberty Bowl which makes us all happy. Even mom with her new haircut.
