Milo's 7

Today was Mister Milo's 7th Birthday - time flies. He was in a good mood :) We had a good time at the party and the kids seemed to too. We came home after and watched some T.V. and that's about it, lazy Saturday.

He decided on a Safari theme this year.

This and That

It's that time of the year again - Tax time. Yesterday I got everything ready to go to the Tax Man, glad that part is over! The wind wasn't howling this morning like it has for the past 2 but it was still cold but I guess we're just spoiled lately. Tonight it's supposed to be 30 degrees below the donut with wind chills - yippee.

Not very inviting today

I made a new recipe tonight for card night tomorrow, Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies. They are a recipe from Taste of Home, they always have the best recipes.

Now it's after midnight so I better toddle off to bed...

Is it Spring? Or Winter?

Yesterday it was about 50 degrees and rainy. This morning it is 21 with a "real feel" of 4 - uffda!
26 mph winds from the west and a skiff of snow. I imagine the roads will be icy so I will stay on dirt roads on my way to work, as much as possible that is. Last time I took Hwy 71 in this kind of weather I was almost blown off the highway because of black ice.

Frank has been working on his "new" pickup. He thought he may have a rear end issue but now it looks like just brakes that fell apart, that's a relief. The damp air was no good for him yesterday so he didn't get too far on it.

This coming weekend will be Milo's 7th birthday party, they grow up too fast...

This one was taken this past fall, what a handsome boy :)

Memories and Allergies

My allergies have kicked up this past week, probably due to the nice weather and alot of snow melting. Today it's about 40 degrees but very windy, another thing that kicks up the allergies. There are many sufferers out there and it's just earlier than normal this year.

It has been 2 years ago today that Mom left us to reunite with Dad in heaven. I still miss her terribly but am still glad she didn't have to spend long at the nursing home, she would have hated that. You don't realize how closely knit to your being and your life that your parents are until they are gone. I guess I'm still healing...
