The Battle
I was doing really well with my exercise program, working out about 5 times a week, till last Sunday. Then I got sick with a bad head cold. I didn't do a thing all week. Thank goodness the scale didn't go up, but it ain't going down either. So tomorrow, it's back to the gym.

Love Endures
This weekend we spent time with two of my best friends. They are both women who have recently gone through a divorce after 30 years of marriage. It is so strange to think of them without their partners, but I know this is unfortunately common these days. They didn't even know each other until today, but their stories are similar. They are both doing well, but I know it has been hard for them. My husband and I have also been married for 30 years, and I can't imagine being without him. I don't know if I could put myself out there and start all over. My friends are strong women and I commend them for what they have done.
I thank God that for me and my hubby, love endures.

Day Is Done
The sunset was really pretty tonight, with lots of contrails from jets streaking across the sky. Which reminded me of a TV show I saw recently which proposed that the military is using some new type of fuel that makes contrails visible longer. I'm not much into conspiracy theory. I think it has to do with the temperature, winds, etc. Anyway, it makes for some beautiful skies.

Tire Tracks
The UPS guy was the first to use our driveway today and leave his mark. I've been home most of the last 2 days nursing a cold. Good timing, since our streets have pretty icy and treacherous.

Overwhelmed
I'm taking a six week class in Photoshop CS3 and there is just so much to learn. I think if I bought the program, I would probably overprocess the pictures till they were screwed up beyond repair, so I am still deciding whether to purchase it or just stick with something a little less intense. It's fun, though to see what it will do.

Just a Dusting
Tonight, while my husband was out at a Bible study, it started to snow. It wasn't much, only about half an inch. But, according to him, it was slicker than snot. Everyone I know who was out said the roads were terrible. The interstate (I-64) is closed in both directions. It's crazy what such a small amount of snow can do. I'm staying home for awhile, thank you very much!

Hold Outs
This one tree along my driveway holds its leaves all winter long. On a gusty day like today, they flutter in the wind like flags.

Important Primaries
Forget the presidential election. These primary colored bowling pins represent the best $10.88 I have spent in a long time. My grandsons love to "knocka down pins" and will spend hours playing, as long as someone (guess who?) resets them, over, and over, and over, and over . . . .!

Silly Nana!
This is the look you get from a 5 month old when you are trying to do a self portrait using the mirror in her Jumparoo. Sorry for the blurriness, but she wouldn't sit still!!
