yesterday was wonderful...

we had a high of 52...
can you believe that?

so we went for a ride since neither one of us are very mobile right now...

I am not feeling as good as I was yesterday....

but it could be the cloudy skies and the cold wind blowing out there now...

looks like the geese are trying to hatch the pond...
you would think their butts would get cold...

winter is back today, though and the temp is dropping...

down to the single digits soon and wind chills below zero...
I could use spring any time now...

and some new photos of the kittens...
this is Hermie...
he is turning into a daddy's boy...

and this is Lester...
he plays as hard as he sleeps...
he is a mama's boy...

hope your weekend is going well...
at least the work week is going to be cut up a bit again...
get a nap in or read a book...
still great weather for watching movies and knitting warm mittens...
;)

doing better...

DH got me a Santa sock monkey for CHRISTmas...
isn't he cute?

we ended up with 21 CHRISTmas cards this year...
the numbers drop off every year...
and this year, I think some just ran out of time...

got up feeling so much better and had some energy, so started puttering around here...
cleaning and dusting and putting things up...

looks like the old folks' home here...
and we feel like old folks this week...

my new angel...

and some of my fun things...
DH got me external speakers for the laptop...
love them...
and sock monkey ear muffs...
and Doug and Paula got me the candle...
I took a damp rag and laid it across the label this morning and soaked it off...
I can't wait to burn the candle...
its vanilla cookie...
and I can't wait to use the jar on something else!

done a little cooking and made lunch...
took the old man outside and put his butt in the wheel chair and pushed him awhile...
until I got tired...
we are going to go for a drive, so we can get out a bit...
its 51 out there now...
so not cold at all...
no snow...
its been gone awhile...

DH told me this morning to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers...
he reads my blog and every single comment...
he was so touched by your words that last couple of days...
and he said, make sure you tell them...
;)
with everything that went on the last four days...
we have had a wonderful CHRISTmas season....
and we had so much fun with the toy drive and buying toys and putting them out...
sneaking around and dropping some off...
we were all together for CHRISTmas eve and CHRISTmas day...
even though we took turns napping...
and we did our share of eating...
its going to be awhile before we take down the decorations...
and DH has an appointment Monday to see what is in store for next week...
I need to go back next Friday for a follow up...
so we are just going to kick back...
pop our pills, take naps and eat fudge...
have a fun weekend!
;)

DH had a good night and his pills are working...
he sees another dr on Monday...
I saw mine today and got the boil lanced...
different antibiotics...
and go back in 7- 10 days...
so we are doing better...
taking my cold medicine and taking a nap...
;)

update...

Craig called...
bursitis and they gave him some meds in the er...
and they are picking up other meds at Walmart and will be home...
follow up with his dr on Monday...
its in the hip, so no moving around for awhile...
thanks for praying!

Prayers for my guy...

not been a good couple of days here...
and Craig just left with his dad for the ER...
severe back pain and he broke out in a cold sweat this morning trying to go 5 steps...
stubborn, no ambulance...
I have been down the last 2 days...
I got dressed to go with them, but it took all I had to do that...
so handed Craig the cell phone, cash, insurance cards and sent them on their way...
I thought he had thrown out his back, but now this morning, not so sure that's it...
could be appendicitis...
so, better to know...
keep us all in your prayers...
