I know it’s been ages since my last post and although I have gotten over the sinus cold my allergies still have been very bad this year and I often just do not feel very good.  I know my silence worries many of you and I do apologize, but when I am down and not feeling good,  even depressed it seems to be my nature to withdraw.  I am so grateful that so many of you think of me.  I love each of you and hope in time I will feel up to continue visiting again, but as for blogging I have decided to close down.  My heart is just not in it anymore and I have decided I want to move on to something different.  What that is is what I am looking for.  I just won’t be spending as much time online as I use to.  I am not a good letter writer, but I do have many of your emails for those who visited me here often and so I’ll drop you a line now and then. 

Thank you my friends for you caring and love you have shown me over the many years I have been blogging.  I will leave this blog up so you may use the contact page to get a hold of me if you do not have my email. 

For each of you I wish only the best and many blessings.  I carry each of you here in my heart and have tons of memories to warm me always.  God Bless each of you.

This is not going to be a long post. I am still not feeling very well. There is no soreness, but I have a bad cough and just generally feel lousy. my torso is so sore from the cough and although I get a bit of relief from medicine, it always comes back. Then I am over all clammy and sweaty feeling. We go from cold mornings to very warm afternoon, evenings and back to cool nights. How I love this weather, but it’s so maddening not to feel good enough to really enjoy it. I want so badly to go to sleep, but it’s not happening and then when I finally do I feel just horrible for the longest time in the mornings. I have no idea when this will clear up, but I sure wish it happens soon.

So not much else to chatter about. JD’s been off since wed and having him under foot when I feel so crudy hasn’t been much fun, lol. He and Em went to a tractor show today about 3 hours away. They had a great time and I enjoyed the peace and quiet. Em and Michael are still looking at houses with nothing possible they really like yet, but they have time. So guess that is about it. I will try and be around to visit everyone tomorrow. Hope I feel much better. Till next time….

is to spend it for something

I knew it was coming with these beautiful and cooler days, a sinus cold with a sore throat, scratchy ears and throat and chest congestion. The past two mornings have been in the 40′s which for me is down right cold. I truly felt bad yesterday so hardly was online. As much as I love fall I do dread the cold temps. I’m as miserable when I’m really cold as I am when I am very hot. Trouble is I don’t live somewhere where there are perfect temps years around. Ummm…. is there a place like that that truly exists? lol…. So you’d be right if you suspect that I haven’t been up to very much for the past 4 days. Maybe that day trip and being in that rain didn’t help matters either. Who knows.

Mostly I have been watching TV, my DVD’s and playing some online games when I felt up to it. Haven’t been stay up to late either, although I still haven’t slept to well. When Em and I went to WalMart last week I bought the DVD National Treasure 2, Book of Secrets. I finally got around to watching it last night and I really liked it. I think it was as good as the first one. Even though I’m sure they take a lot of liberty with American History on this, they do mention a lot that is true especially the people. Then today on Fox New’s Morning V.P. Cheney’s wife was on as she wrote a children’s book called “We the People” the Illistrations were marvelous and it sounds like it would be a great book to have for the grandchildren. I believe that many of the youth and young adults are just not well educated in our American History as they should be. They were mentioning the other day on 9/11 about explaining to the children who have been born after it and would have no idea as the the great significance this has on the state of the world today. Mrs. Cheney’s book also is written as she put it in “Good old word, nothing fancy” and the the forefather’s pictures as very real human’s. One illistration she pointed out was Benjamin Franklin addressing a crowd of bickering people with a two-headed snake and asking them just what would happen if one snakes head went one way around a bush the the other the other way. Showing the need for compromise. Then how one day during all the goings on of putting together the consitution that George Washington snuck off to do some trout fishing. Great stories that kids could really relate to.

Anyway although the premise behind National Treasure is fiction, it does make for an excellent adventure. I often visit a blog called Laurel Wreath’s Reflections and she has a recent 5 day give away. I was so excited and thrilled to learn that my name was drawn and I received a $30 Amazon Gift certificate. I am planning on using it to get some DVD’s or books. Deciding which ones is the hardest part, lol… Will let you know what I purchased after I decide. Laurel is a beautiful Christian Lady and her blog is very inspiring and excellent to read. I do recommend you stopping by to visit now and then if you can.

Emily and Michael looked at a house last night. They love the location as it’s very near the park, and although it’s just 2 bedrooms it has a big 2 car garage that can be converted and also a screened in back porch. It has lots more storage space too that where they are now although it’s about the same square footage. It’s well within their price range too. They are thinking on it, but no final decision yet. All I know is that I do hope they find something before really cold and bad weather set in, lol. We know Dad and a trailer will be needed, lol… Cliff took our car last friday night and with some college buddies drove down to McKinney Texas to see one of his best friends, from colllege, high school team he coaches play. He had a great time but I can see how as his friends Darren and Zack are great guys and they’ve all been very close since their college days. In fact both Darren and Zack flew out for Cliff’s Marine graduation.

Not much else going on to chat about. Will be around today and this evening visiting. Till next time…

Look to this day!
For it is life,
the very life of life.
For yesterday is but
a dreamand tomorrow is
only a vision, but today
well lived makes every
yesterday a dream
of happiness and tomorrow
a vision of hope.
