Debbie--Sorry to hear about your former MIL. Had phone interview today with a local bank. Said they will let me know by the end of next week. DH goes back to doctor tomorrow so see what they say about him going back fulltime. Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

My granddaughter picking out her prom dress. Hard to believe she is old enough for prom and dating

Good evening from Nebraska where it is 102 warmer today at 61 then last week at below zero. It was great to get out and enjoy the day. Sun shine helped my mood greatly. Ginny--sending prayers for your health. Flea--being a parent is hard. I have done so many things wrong, but I always did the best I could with what I knew…

Wanted to check in as I am up to page 19. The weather has been terrible here. Over 11 inches of snow and temps below zero. Today it was almost 20 and to be in 30-40's next couple days. I have had to keep the driveway and sidewalks clear and this last time I hired someone. This weather has been having a real depressed…

Hello from Nebraska where we got 7 inches of snow last night and I am so over this. Our DGD and her 2 oldest boys came over and cleaned our sidewalk and driveway. I am finding it really hard to ask for help. This whole thing with DH and his hip has been a eye opener for sure. He is doing well and can return to work Monday…

Just checking in I am not sure where time is going. Carla--Sory for your loss. Sending prayers. Enjoyed seeing all the pictures. I have been overweight my whole life. At my highest I was 402 pounds. Last 10 years have been 260-270. I would like to lose 100 more and slowly working on it again. DH and I weigh each Tuesday…

Happy Saturday from COLD Nebraska. It is above zero. Next week to be in the 50's and back to cold the next week. Rebecca--The new ear rings are pretty. I took mine out after I stopped working and should see about putting some in. Annie--with everything you are doing great. One day at a time. Machka--Sorry to hear about…

Well I have had my fill of winter. It has been below zero for days. Yesterday and today it was above. Yesterday I took the car in to have the check engine light checked. First they came out to tell me when they opened the hood a rabbit ran out. Then later came to tell me a mouse had chewed some wires and it is not covered…

Good afternoon from freezing Nebraska. Started out below zero this morning and up to 13 now. Good day to stay inside. Not to be much better for the next couiple days. DH's surgery went well. Doctor said it was one of the worest he had seen. He did up staying a extra day as the first time they got him up he passed out. Had…

Heather--I pray things get better for DS. Sounds like he has been dealing with a lot on top of his grief. I can understand the kids and the questions and fears they are dealing with. Hard enoughn when we are older, but so out of control for everyone to understand. Machka--Congradulations on the new grand daughter. What is…

Pip--Sorry you were not clear, I hate when that happens. Rita--Hope you are feeling better soon. Your snow is pretty and I hope it gives you a chance to rest. Kim-- just a tale to share. When DH's dad passed as the oldest he was in charge. Well he was making payments to the IRS and when he passed we sent them a copy of the…

Not sure what happened to my post from yesterday. Anyway DH's surgery is scheduled for next Thursday Jan 16th. He had his preop done today so is all set. Doctor said he will only be in hospital over night. It is so cold and I do not like going out. Going to bed early as can't think. Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

Well we lucked out and the major part of the storm went south of us. We got about 2-4 inches of snow, the wind helped spread it around. DGD and her husband came over this afternoon and cleaned the driveway and sidewalk, then salted everything. So we should be good to go in the morning. Then our oldest son and his wife came…

Been a quite day here. Storm started with sleet and now snow. They are saying up to 10 inches by tomorrow night. I just want to be able to get DH to doctor Monday at 8 so can get this hip surgery scheduled. Please take care and stay safe. Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

Good morning dear ladies from COLD Nebraska. Glad to be able to stay inside. Must admit I am finding it nice to not have to go out. Have to be careful.When my son was only acouple years old I went though a period where I did not go out of the house for over a year. A neighbor would take my son out to play with her son. I…

We got our first snow last night. It wasn't a lot just enough to cover the ground. Mostly gone this morning. Tracey-- The cards are beautiful. We stock up on butter when on sale. This last week it was on sale for $2.99 limit 2. So DH went several times and we are good for awhile. When the grandkids were little we would…

This is the decorations we put up inside the house and activity set is one our granddaughter painted when she was five years old. She is now 25 makes me feel peaceful just to sit in the quiet and watch the lights.
