Happy Birthday Pete, Allan and Jason!!

I went to visit my Dad today and he told me that in 14 years he'd be 100 :)

He always makes me smile. Happy birthday Dad, I love you!

Jason turned 40 today, how is that even possible??
Man, I'm old.

See ya next week Allan, what a great birthday gift... two weeks with me, my mother and my dog! You should be nominated for sainthood :)

20/25

I had an appointment with the eye doctor today. Found out I'm not perfect like I originally thought :)
I see 20/25 instead of 20/20. I'll take it!!! :)

Wild Weekend

Or at least Wild Friday night! We danced and partied until 3:30AM up in Mohall and had a blast!
Saturday was a different story, we were showing our age :(
Years ago we'd have been ready to party Saturday night too. However, somewhere along the way, I got old. I was in bed last night at 8:10!! And I'd venture to guess that Deb, Jennifer, Shirley, Linda and Patty were probably in bed early too :) Jury is out on Nancy though, she's the young one and recovers faster than we do :)

Dear Jim,

I miss you in so many ways every day that I can't even count them all. Today I missed you even more because I also missed you when I was wiping out the car. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my cars for all those years. I spent 1/10th the time you used to spend just wiping down the inside and it sure looks like it too. I miss you :(

In the 33 years we were married, I always drove a shiny clean car filled with gas and I never, ever did it myself. Man, I sure need to have my car detailed!

Grandma's Roses

At Grandma's funeral, we had a bouquet of 5 roses representing her 5 grandchildren. White for the 2 boys and cream with rose colored tips for the 3 girls. I took the bouquet home and days later was marveling at how beautiful the girl ones still looked. The boys' unfortunately were dead. I decided to take the remaining 3 and have them freeze dried.

I picked them up today and couldn't be more pleased with the way they turned out. They are very fragile so I just tied a ribbon around them and laid them in my curio cabinet where I put a lot of things that have meaning to me. Because the curio cabinet has a mirror in the back, the picture makes it look like there are 6 roses.

I stood and looked at the finished product and although it needs a good cleaning, I love my curio cabinet!

I have a story for everything in it :)

Why???

Why would men in their early 60's who live in condos that have a snow shoveling service spend time rearranging the snow on their lawns?

The guy across the street spent the better part of yesterday afternoon redistributing the snow on his lawn. The sidewalks and driveway had been done by the service last week and we're going to get a lot of snow before next Spring. Seems like a giant time suck to me.

And then the guy who lives next door to him came home from work and saw what his neighbor did so he did the same thing. Do these guys have that much spare time on their hands or are they just that anal?? And why risk a heart attack from moving all that heavy snow around at their ages??

Grossness!!

I had to use the bathroom at Allison's on Saturday and her main floor bathroom is the one the boys use. I always check the seat before I sit down because Jameson and Gage are gross. Sure enough, I had to clean the seat before I could sit down. I came out to have a talk with them. I told them that they have got to remember to lift the ring seat before peeing. And I also told them that if they don't lift it at my house I was going to cut off their penises. With luck that scared them into at least lifting it at my house!
