Banana Belt ? and Ramblings

100 miles north of where I live they have had about 2 feet of snow-10 in one storm.
100 miles south they have had about 4 inches.
200 miles south are supposed to get 7 inches tonight.
Now where I live I have seen snow covered grass once. Today the road is white but the snow is not much.
So I live in a section of the country that has gotten down to single digets but not much snow.
I am not complaining but it does seem strange.
Life is a little boring when you start comparing snow amounts.
With all the bombings and killings, it makes you wonder how come your so blessed.
I think of small things and take pleasure in them. Phone calls and pictures from my family.
Am I wrong for enjoying the small things? Surely I am not expected to dwell on all the bad news-I feel it but am not able to change it.

Thanksgiving Time

I love this holiday! It makes you think of things you are thankful for. Even when things are not the way you would like them to be, you think of the good things in your life. I think everyone can find some things to be thankful for. I wish this holidday would go world wide. But just think about having to think of something good. For a brief time people would feel better. The little things would become important.

If you are alive and breathing you have something to be thankful for.

Strange mood

I am really in a strange mood the last few days and I am wondering if others have felt this way and how they handled it.
I look at my closet and see things that I am not wearing and probably won't wear and I just want to get a bag and fill it it up.
Of cource it is strange things like my mother's mink coat and a coat that I got from someone in the 40s. It had a cloth outside with moutan fur inside. My late mother in law made me a new cloth outside for it many years ago. Now why do I have it still. Memories-the woman that gave it to me became a woman marine in ww2. The dress I wore to my son's wedding is another piece. I do have some old clothes but I wear them. It just seems that my closet is not the only place that needs to be emptied. My sons have things that could go and if not out, at least to their house. Have I been watching too much HGTV?
Please don't suggest a rumage sale because I couldn't handle it. There are my colections -cows,angels and stuffed toys that I can't get rid of. I don't know how long some of these things will remain in my house.

Scam Alert

Today I received a message that my e-mail Id had won $ 250,000 Great Britain Pounds Sterling. To claim it I was to send all my information to an E-mail address. I am not LOL I am angry. It just seems that people don't think we know enough not to reply and give out our idenity.
What you get for nothing is nothing. Don't fall for these scams. Times are tough but this will not make it better.

This and that

Well I had the propane tank filled today. I always say nothing could shock me BUT was I wrong. I didn't have any idea how high the price had gone. Budget payments are the only way I could manage.
I had a call from the heart doctor's nurse. There will be another med change. I had a med change when I saw my regular doctor and now I am off the pill my heart doctor wants me to double up on. Fun and games when your doctors are miles apart. I will just wait for another call.
There has been strange news stories in the last few days. An 8 year old boy being charge with the murder of his father and someone else. A 90 year old woman found to be living with the bodies of her dead siblings in her home. Natural deaths but one was dead for quite some years. So sad!
((Hugs)) and God Bless!

A beginning

Well, we have had the election. Now we get to see what will happen. It is a turning around a bend in the road not knowing what is coming up. Can I change what happens-No. My life is pretty well set but the younger people will have a chance to change things. I am going to sit back and watch.

Number 13

Today I was #13 to vote. I was home from voting by 7:10.a.m.. Now that I have that done the day is mine!

Election Day

Tomorrow is election day. Every election is important; but this one has historical meaning. The first woman and the first black man wanting to be elected. Voting for your choice is not only a right but a duty. There are places where you can't vote for your choice. The right to vote has not been easily won. People have suffered and some died to get that right. You hear good and bad about the candidates. It all depends on who you listen to. The president isn't the only thing we need to vote for tomorrow.
VOTE YOUR CHOICE! No one needs to know who you voted for but be proud to say you voted.
God Bless America!
