but we did get between 1-2 inches of s$%#...
a very wet snow now...
looking down the driveway, there are still places where you can see the green, green grass...
its a pretty white covering...
but I think we should have mowed first...
the lavender is still a nice green color...
and a hint of pink...
tacky yard fight decor...
I kind of like them now...
maybe they will stay around...
at least until spring...
really stiff and sore today...
got to be the storm going through...
and my dad is in the hospital with pneumonia...
been in almost a week now...
step mom called us yesterday and she was staying with him at the hospital...
to be snowed in there instead of at home...
the antibiotics are starting to work, but she said this would be his last Christmas...
I sure hope so...
I think he's done more than enough here below...
many are sick around here...
but Tori did well with her last chemo and was able to go home for Christmas...
Lori's boyfriend became her fiance and then...
her husband...
the staff at the hospital helped make it possible...
and made it such a joyous time for them...
her new husband has been moved to a rehab facility now...
to begin his recovery and all that fun stuff...
so many blessings...
and a few passings, too...
keeping those families in my prayers as this year fades away...
hurricane Sandy...
Sandy Hook...
and those firemen in NY...
what a way to end a year...
but those families and friends will walk on...
into a new year, a new beginning...
plus, if we haven't lost someone, there are families close to us that have...
so many are gone from our small community in the last 12 months...
and more close to crossing over...
we should not take our time here for granted...
and we shouldn't waste it, either...
keep being His light in this world...
we need to shine so others can see the path...
hugs to you...
all of you...
you make me smile...
and you hug my heart daily...
;)
