This work of art reminds me of Clifford, a big red dog in a Children's book series. Good memory taking my friend to MIA.

Here is the art work with its work of art as its sculpture...

Lanette Since you were his spouse you could roll his IRA account into your IRA account. You would have had to make the RMD payments if he was already taking distributions the year he died. It will be your beneficiaries who inherit the IRA account who will have ten years to deplete that account and pay the taxes on what is…

Barbie Yes me too! I had four things on the list this week where I was hoping it would take about 10 minutes to complete the task. I made a list and celebrate when one is finally done at least for now. Today I got one done but in a month or two I had to change how I access the account due to a change in who manages it. At…

Good Morning another ice sculpture...Fun to find the birds...

Another wonderful snow sculpture... I do love the sound of children laughing..They laugh far more often than adults. Laughing like singing is actually good for us and long as it is not hurting someone or sarcastic. To get in on the humor there needs to be common background knowledge so when the punch line is given it…

Good Morning Friends... I have been on a plateau at 155 +or- 3 pounds for six months now. It seems to be a good weight for my 5 foot 7 inch frame. I scheduled my yearly exam for April because I did not want it in December and did not want it in the heart of winter. Terri Thank you for the reminder of drinking more water…

Another great ice sculpture... They were gone within a few days because of a warm up we had. I am so glad I went when I did. This one is of an artist and you can see a 3-D ship coming out of his canvas and in the waves at the bottom you see another ship in the waves. Another favorite of mine. Well done! Sue Happy Birthday…

I was correct as to what caused the problem for the electrical. There are two possible solutions and it will get fixed next week. I did learn if you have work that requires an inspection to keep the paperwork from the inspector because when house is sold having that paper work can come in handy when you have your home…

(((Carla))) There are no words... Kim thanks for info on insurance... Heather and MO beautiful! Learned anger is a message to me. Tells me something must be protected or restored. Not always an easy path to do so. I find it sometimes equally hard to forgive myself for my reaction to said anger. I tell myself my reaction is…

The washer and dryer came yesterday. I switched back to an electric dryer for a couple of reasons. Went smoothly until it was plugged in with no power to the dryer. It has been twenty years since I have had an electric dryer. I think what happened is in the intervening years we had other electrical work done like our AC. I…

This was in my Facebook feed today from Christine Smith, one of the people I follow from my adventures in listening speakers who offer advice on health issues. The example to compliment this statement I shared yesterday on Facebook was a clip from Steve Hartman from CBS news, he is another favorite of mine. He did a story…

Rebecca That 130 pulse makes sense since it is after exercising! Keep up the good work!
-
This was also from the ice sculpture it is weighing work versus sleep. Unfortunately the scale tips toward work. Since it is tax time another thing that crops us for we who have lost a spouse is we will have the year they pass to still file married file jointly. In the following years we will file single. This can make a…

Rebecca Gorgeous!!! Great job on BP. Is that 130 pulse a resting pulse? If it is have you discussed with your medical team why it is so high and what would help to lower it. I would say today my leg pain is now 0 just an occasional minor twinge. Side is now 75% better than it was an hour after fall. I have noticed from…

I am being careful with Arnica. It is a medicine and needs to be respected as such. I am not allergic to mums so I check that box. My blood pressure has be great 120 or lower and lower than 80. Not on a blood thinner. So there are predisposing factors that would not make it a treatment for everyone.

This is the way I have hot chocolate and marshmallows now... Fell on an odd piece of ice yesterday walking Drew she was excited to see some Workers on our street yesterday and wanted to say hello. It knocked the wind out of me and because of the way I fell my elbow punched my upper side. I had a minor injury to the side of…

Carla Prayers for your family... Too many young people are getting cancer these days!!!! Prayers! LanetteOnce I got to the store and checked out washer and dryers in person I did decide on a Speed Queen Washer...I use my washer much more than my dryer and the Speed Queen Washer is more durable. I also like that it operates…

For Harry Potter Fans... Went to see snow sculptures from Winter Carnival with a friend yesterday...

Came across this in my memory feed on Facebook. It explains way I am grateful and feel content at this stage in my life. On another site I am involved sharing joy became the topic of conversation this is what I shared. For me pure joy is found in the small moments of life talking with a salesclerk about day to day things…

Rebecca I like Hu get back to human chocolate too. It is organic, no lecithins no emulsifiers, among other positives. It has less sugar because it is 70% cocoa. It is also fair trade. I also like the one with mint it uses quinoa to get a crunch. Mint is harder to find I have to go to a more expensive grocery store to find…

Barbara Yes getting windows is a big expensive project but unfortunately needed. I have decided I am going to stay in this home for as long as I can and if I have to move getting the windows replaced with help to sell it faster. I know I will not get the cost back in the sale. It will hopefully make my heating and cooling…

Went to Zumba today. It was good to go again. I got some windows measured for replacing today. It will be a big project. Aiming for early May to get it done. I will be doing it in three chunks. It will also depend if I have to get new siding too!

Starting to inch our way out of deep freeze. Currently 0 degrees so right there with you Carla!

Good Morning Friends...Watched a good interview given by Mathew Walker the author of Why We Sleep. Left with a new resolve to improve my sleep. What I am doing right is using the breathe right strips and taping in the middle of my mouth to encourage breathing through my nose...Black out curtains. Working on getting to bed…

Mo Yes in many ways the role of women has come a long way. I think finding all the other widows in the room might have also helped my friend feel less alone. I did go on Facebook and praised her daughter for what an amazing job she did honoring her father. We again are at minus 12 today with a wind chills of 25 below... So…

I would also like to add about my friend's husband loving...The story her daughter told was an example. Her son had a stuffed bunny that was his security blanket. One time he left it at PABA house. Her father drove twenty miles back home and then back to his daughters just so his grandson could have his bunny. He also…

I went to the funeral of my friend whose husband died on their trip overseas today. His children spoke, and they did an outstanding job! Her husband lived his life to the fullest with humor, curiosity, and grace. I was wondering how it would go for me because it was about a year ago we had my DH funeral. What I found a bit…
