It's cold....Brrrrrrrr

Hello,
I hope everyone is doing fine. We are pretty cold up here. This morning the windchill was 6 below zero. The wind was blowing at speeds from 20 to gust of 60 mph. During the night last night it sounded at times like the whole house was going to fall apart. They did predict 1 - 2 inches of snow but we didn't get any at all.

I had to go this morning to get my blood drawn for my cholesterol check. My doctor has me to get it checked every 6 months. So far my numbers are usually pretty good and I'm sure the medication I'm on has a lot to do with that. My doctor hasn't called me yet with today's results. I should hear from her tomorrow.

I'm so excited about getting my hair cut tomorrow. It's been several months since I've had it cut and it's way too long. I'm too scared to get it cut short so usually I don't go above my shoulders but I do like having layers because it makes my hair appear thicker and have more body. To my horror, a few gray hairs have started appearing.... of course each one is named either Bob or Terry!!! But one thing I think is so funny is Bob has more gray hair than I do and he is younger than me....hahahahahaha!!!

That's about all that is happening up here. Take care and I will update again soon.

Hello to everyone

It's another cold, brisk day in Ohio. We've had about 1 inch of snow on the ground for the past week. The temperature has been staying in the teens to the low 20's. I know a lot of people don't care for the cold but I just love it. I think I love it even more since I have started into these hot flashes. Boy, are they miserable sometimes but thankfully they don't last for long.

As most of you know Bob was in NC on business last week and thankfully he made it home safely. We enjoyed having a nice quiet weekend together. I was so excited to show him the room I painted in our basement. He was blown away at how nice it looks. He was also surprised that as many times as we talked while he was away I never said a word to him about what I was doing. Believe me it was so hard not to tell him what I was up to. But it was also kind of fun to keep it quiet too!!!

I have a lot of errands to run today. My cabinets are getting pretty bare so I guess I had better make a trip to Meijer's and Wal-mart. Both are having some great sales this week. I need to go to the library also to return a few books I have checked out. Maria, I think I will check out the Patterson book you were talking about. Let me know what you think about it also.

Well, that's about all that is happening up here in Buckeye land. I hope everyone has a good day. Take care.

Hi there!

It's another Monday morning and up here in Ohio it is very, very cold. Right now it's 12 degrees outside..brrr!! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Bob and Terry went hunting Saturday morning for the last time of the season. They seen a couple ducks but I guess it was just too cold for the ducks to be out flying around. The lake had a thin sheet of ice on it so the ducks were not able to land in the water. The decoys that Bob and Terry set out weren't moving well because of the ice so they weren't able to outsmart them ducks!! Oh well, I do know they had a fun season of hunting. Now they have to totally disassemble the blind by March 01. It had better warm up if they want any help from me!!!

I put some pictures of the duck blind and other photo's on myspace site. If you have a chance go check them out.

Bob and I get season tickets every year to the Columbus Destroyer arena football team and this past Thursday we had to go to a open house at the arena in Columbus to decide if we wanted to change our seats that we had last year. We didn't really have any plans of changing but when we got there we found a great section up in the area of the box seats that are called "Terrace Seats." It's a half moon shaped table with 4 chairs that's up next to the railing. They are great... We are so excited to be able to get these. We were lucky because there was only one left. The view of the field is great and with these seats also comes a buffet, waitress staff and tons of moving room. There is also a small TV on the table with 33 cable channels. So you can watch the game and also watch TV at the same time. Too cool.....

Bob leaves tomorrow for Charlotte, NC on business. He will be gone until Friday. I do miss him when he's away on business but this week I have a lot of work planned so I am going to be staying pretty busy. There's a room in our basement I plan on painting and I also have some volunteer work planned up at my church. I also have Shrek the Third to watch. I just love those movies...

I hope everyone has a nice day. Take care and I will talk to you again soon.

Good morning to all,



I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Bob and I have been so busy the past several weeks that we decided we weren't going to plan anything this past weekend. It was nice to just lounge around and only do what we wanted to do. Sometimes you need time like that just to recharge.



I have a lot of running around planned today like grocery store, bank, post office, etc. My plan was to do all of these things yesterday but I got too involved in cleaning house and washing clothes and the next thing I knew the day was gone.



Have a nice day and I will update again soon.

My Beginning Trail

Hello Everyone,
I thought since there are several people in my family who have blogs, I would also give one a try. So here it goes.....

Since this is my first time at having a blog I would very much like some feedback from all you veterans out there. All of you have such nice looking sites with personal pictures, different designs and colors. At some point I hope to have all of that but right now my goal is just to be able to create a post and get it on the site for everyone to read without losing it along the way! I guess time will tell whether or not I am able to accomplish that.

All is well, here in Ohio. We had a warm front to come through a few days ago that brought in Spring like weather but it has since passed by and now it is cold again. Bob is loving the colder weather for hunting. He and Terry have gone duck hunting several times already. Myself, I stay home where it's warm and let them trudge out in the woods and the cold. But they seem to be enjoying themselves. I do provide a nice warm meal for them when they get back along with a listening ear to all of their hunting tales.

I hope all is well with everyone and I will do my best to post often. Take care and I hope you come back to visit me soon.
