just a sunnin'...

well, the critters had it right yesterday...

find the sunspot and stay there...

Buttercup getting her sunnin' in...

and she had the perfect spot...

the middle of the cat pile...

it was a rather boring day yesterday...

the arthritis was winning, so I didn't do much at all...

a little walking...

a little stretching...

and a whole lot of napping...

I did get my sister in law's obituary wrote up...

just waiting for final approval by my brother in law before I send it the newspapers...

my niece provided all the information on it, so that helped a bunch...

around here, the funeral homes take care of that, but not in Richmond, Va I guess...

we thought that was kind of weird...

I have no major plans but to putter and keep the house work done up as much as I can...

we could get snow today, but not much...

I still don't want to be out in it...

counting down the days until spring...

have a fun day...

and the winner is...

Donna from My Shabby Chateau!

I will be getting these in the mail this week...

I had meant to post this on Saturday...

but stuff happened...

so here it is now...

enjoy your days!

trying to get back to normal around here...

its been a surreal weekend...

I didn't get to spend time in my playroom like I wanted...

but I was in there on Friday before all the crazy happened...

I dug another frame out and started in on it...

and I had this laid out to use...

one of my favorite collages...

and I ended up with this...

its small, just a 4x6...

I have 2 more frames just like this that I would like to do this week...

and this might be a future project...

its large...

we have lightly falling snow right now with just a slight dusting over night...

the wind has just howled all night long...

it came mostly in rain, so we missed the 4-9 inches...

and I'd bet those people who were fighting over toilet paper on Friday night feel a bit foolish now...

;0)

they said it was a zoo in there...

when we went early Saturday morning, there was hardly anyone there...

and the shelves were stocked again...

I didn't have to fight for anything...

;0)

the super bowl was on here last night...

and there was lots of yelling from the living room...

for me, the only good that comes from all of that are...

the food...

and the commercials...

I am home alone all week until Friday...

I wonder if I can handle all this peace and quiet?

well, I spoke too soon...

three sets of galloping feet just went by me...

figures...

have a great day!

our storm hasn't amounted to much, yet...

we had rain through the night and snow from sun up to noon...

so our accumulation isn't as bad as they thought it would be...

and it tracked a little farther north than they thought...

but, its not over yet...

DH out playing the snow this morning...

and its raining now...

this is what I have been doing...

on this glorious Super Bowl day...

and this is what the rest are doing...

thank you so much for your prayers and kind words on our loss...

its really hard to go through something like this as a family when you are separated by so many miles...

and it was not expected...

she had been in the hospital but as of Thursday, they had plans for her release...

they did a heart cath on Thursday evening and she started crashing...

and they couldn't get her BP back up...

threw her into ICU that night or the next morning...

and from there, she just nose dived...

prayers for her husband...

DH's brother...

and her daughter...

DH, too...

its a difficult loss for us all, but those 3 feel it the most, I think...

and her sister, Martha...

prayers for all of you in the storm moving through...

keep warm and safe...

;0)

prayers, please...

my sister in law, Susan, passed away this morning...
