Friday, January 12, 2024 Raining Chilly No Wind Yet 44 Degrees 4:18 p.m.

A beautiful winter day. The weather lady is predicting snow possible arriving on Monday. We shall see. We are chilly and very wet at the moment, but here the wind hasn’t started. I guess it will arrive later this evening or tomorrow. tomorrow should be sunny, cold and windy.

The weekend is here. With weather that is not to pretty I believe we will be staying home. We promised that we would stay home and do a bunch of the projects we have started here so maybe we can stick to that. However we do need to go buy cat food and five door knobs for the closet doors in the TV room. Where to go for nice, pretty door knobs????

Quote of the day: “Everything which relates to God is infinite. We must therefore, while we keep our hearts humble, keep our aims high. Our highest services are indeed but finite, imperfect. But as God is unlimited in goodness, He should have our unlimited love.” Hannah More, 1745-1833. British Writer, Social Reformer.

Have a perfect rest of your Friday and a adventurous, cheerful, warm and fun weekend.

Blessings

Thursday, January 11, 2024 Sunny Slight Breeze Beautiful 55 Degree 5:15 p.m.

They call this the Lull before the storm. I enjoyed going outside and just smelling the fresh air. So clean and fresh and beautiful. The birds have been out eating from the bird feeders and flying around, like they are preparing for the rain and winds tomorrow. I imagine the cold weather also. The birds and animals seem to know when bad weather is on its way.

Speaking of winter, I hear that Searchlight received snow. How beautiful that town is when covered with snow. For that matter, every place seems to have enhanced beauty when dusted with snow. i don’t know how much snow they received but I am sure it is welcome and will help with the water supply. And all the desert plants welcome the moisture. Spring will be beautiful.

There isn’t much going on around here today. There are warnings about the upcoming storm and I believe the wind is the most concerning. More about that tomorrow. Meanwhile, I need to get dinner going.

Quote of the day: ” Face your defrcienciencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.” Helen Keller, 1880 – 1968, American writer., crusader for the handicapped.

Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday. Make it a positive, productive, warm, safe and fun day.

Wednesday, January 10, 2024 Sunny, Breezy, Cold, 42 degrees 5:18 p.m.

Winter is still here but tomorrow is supposed to be the nicest day fro at least a week, with temperatures in the upper 50’s. then we go to the 30’s and below for the highs. Winter for sure. Rain on Friday.

Nothing exciting today. I worked upstairs finishing putting away all the Christmas wrappings and cards and such. The guest room is now back to looking like a welcoming room instead of a throw all room. It took some doing as we also have stuff from the TV and craft rooms up there.

Speaking of those room, Tina talked to Mark today and he told her that his partner wouldn’t be able to work on Saturday so they would have to put off installing the floors until a week from Saturday. I am so disappointed. This is the second time they haven’t been able to do the floors when promised. Tina told him O.K. but no more putting it off and definitely no more money. We shall see. Meanwhile, Sierra is really going to be unhappy as she keeps going back to the TV room and looking for the recliners and her stuff and everything. She wants the recliners back there so she can curl up in our laps for cozy naps. Her world is upside down. Maybe the 13th.

Quote of the day: “Live your life while you have it. Life is a splendid gift–there is nothing small about it.” Florence Nightingale. 1820 – 1910, British Nurse.

Give away your life; you’ll find given back, but not merely back–given back with bonus and blessings. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity.

Have a great rest of your Wednesday. Make it a healthy, safe, warm, cozy and fun day

Tuesday, January 9, 2024 Mostly Dark Clouds Windy Cold 52 Degrees 5:36 p.m.

The wind is cold and the temperature is supposed to get down to 38 degrees. The weather man said that we should have snow flurries here but nothing that will amount to anything as far as being a real snow. I am happy with that,

Today was very quiet compared to yesterday. I haven’t seen a dog being walked or a person being walked. People stayed indoors as for most of the day we had heavy rain, then the rain subsided and the wind came up, The wind was and is, cold. Tomorrow is to be colder and still very windy. Possible showers.

This afternoon I went to the shoulder doctor. My left shoulder has a bone spur that has grown quite a bit this past year. So I believe this spring or early summer I will be having a shoulder replacement. It should keep my left arm in a sling for about three weeks and the recovery should be complete and easy. I do believe that is a better solution then getting steroid shots every few months. I got the steroid shots this afternoon, then will go have a cat scan in the near future and then the surgery after that.

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a fantastic, delightful, eventful and fun day.
