Postcard Friendship Friday...

this week I am sharing vintage valentine images...

it's all about the heart this week...

and sweet, darling cupids...

I did some early hopping around last week and then got sidetracked with the big nasty winter storm and missed the rest of you...

hopefully things will be back to normal this weekend and I will have more time on the computer...

one of the worst things of a winter storm is being snowed in with others who you have to share the computer with...

I know my DH will be getting his own laptop in the near future...

make sure to put that on your survival list for all future winter storms...

right up there with bread, milk and toilet paper...

Dh thinks his baseball fantasy league is more important than my blogging...

I don't think so...

Geez Louise, they haven't even started yet...

there are more postcards in this party...

just click on the link and have fun!

Postcard Friendship Fridays

More icy photos...

Craig went out again today...

the sun shining on things is beginning to melt the ice...

but it's leaving icicles on everything...

this could be dangerous...

so no walking under trees at all...

things are still coated pretty good...

I do think the ice is less on the lines...

and that's it for this morning...

in one month, we will have crocus coming up and blooming...

4 weeks and the whole world will change...

and this season will all be behind us...

and that will be a good thing...

but until then, enjoy the beauty of chaos...

Good morning, ladies...

just a few more of Craig's photos from Wednesday...

and an image for you...

don't have any major plans for the day...

I am just glad this week is about over...

and I hope we don't have another one like it...

there are so many limbs that didn't fall from the trees yet...

they are just hanging...

the last really bad ice storm that we had here was in the early part of 1986...

Craig was a baby and we packed and went to town...

my grandparents had a gravity furnace, no blower...

and if the electric was off it still worked...

it was the first and only one I had ever seen like that...

it was old...

and you know they had almost zero dust in the house in the winter...

they did lose power, but not for very long...

and we were stuck there for several days...

it was my 2nd ice storm ever and the only really big one...

I don't ever remember having an ice storm in Ohio...

I remember snow, lots of snow...

and blizzards...

I did find out last night that my son's apartment building has a generator...

so if he loses power, they kick right on, so he won't ever have to worry about heat...

well, I'm off to play bingo...

online...

until you all start waking up...

Looking back,may I be filled with gratitude;

Looking forward,may I be filled with hope;

Looking upward,may I find strength;

Looking inward,may I find peace.

unknown, by me, anyway...

More images...

more valentine images...

I think these were done by the same lady who did the Campbell soup kids...

aren't they cute?...

take what you want...

it's supposed to get below 0 tonight and then start warming up through Sunday...

there's more snow coming Sunday and Monday...

my son, Doug, and his friends, Keith and Dustin, were here after 4 and stayed a little bit...

hadn't seen Dustin in awhile, they all are the same age and went to school together...

we had to catch up, so the hands were flying...

it's hard to keep up with 3 deaf kids, each one sitting in different areas of the living room...

well, they are kids to me...

Dustin will be 31, Doug and Keith will be 30 this year...

I can't believe it!...

they were all going to Dustin's, ordering pizza and doing a movie night...

Ki was home sick with a cold, so he isn't having much fun on his snow days...

and he didn't get to come see me...

I miss him so much...

I will be glad when this weather breaks and even happier when school is out so he can come spend the day with me...

Rebecca called and she is staying at her parents' house...

her hubby said the electric company that they have said it could be Monday before they get power back on...

she has pics on her camera but doesn't know how to download them on her mom's pc...

so she can't blog until after her mom gets home tomorrow...

but she is ok!

have a safe and warm night...
