It’s cold out but feels real good. Cold weather lets you know you’re alive. You know how when you breathe in you can feel the cold fill your lungs? That’s how it is outside right now.
Yesterday the misses was dealing with June and her son all day long. From being asked to make decisions about her care to meeting the contractors and designers she found to install a shower in her house and just generally talking to her trying to help her decide what’s best for her, pretty much consumed the day. It’s like she’s June’s daughter or something. Ray, (Junes son) treats the misses like she’s his sister when it comes to making decisions for his Mom. The misses isn’t to happy about it and is kind of getting fed up as she has plenty going on that she needs to get done on her own. June is supposed to come home today at 11am. Thankfully we have an appointment at the Ritz a little after noon so she doesn’t have to go!
The boys were all in our face all freakin day yesterday. We still don’t know why it was a snow day as the roads were dry and the snow light. Maybe the teachers wanted a day off. Both boys played, one here and one at a friends. We all hooked back up around 5 for dinner and then the wind down to bedtime.
Here’s a comment from Dix,
I had a glorious birthday yesterday that was topped off with the flowers from Lori to her mama!! It is at least four and a half feet tall–four yellow stalks of orchids with a beautiful purple butterfly sitting on a lovely long piece of curved wood. Also it was topped off with some long stem pussy willows. The stalks of flowers were surrounded by long geen leaves–gobs of them. I’m still giddy over recieving them and then we had the opportunity to have a long phone conversation. “GREAT FUN DAY†Thank you Doug, Lori, and boys who also had time to wish me a happy BD. Can’t ask for more than that. Eleanor, belated happy birthday. Bob told me all about it and it sounded as if it was a real winner. Your children really went all out to make their mother happy on such an important occasion. We are lucky to have such good children. Yes, they will always be our children no matter how old they are. Thank you, my dear ones. Grandma Happy to be Alive.
Glad you had a great day. I noted how you said “they will always be our children” which is nice unless you listen to the liberal media as yesterday this was said from a talking head on MSNBC. This is so unbelievable as she basically says the “State” owns your kids and they have the right to raise them how they want. This is unfreakinbelievable. Now they want to basically take your kids away from you by deciding how to raise them. If this doesn’t make even the most loyal dem stand up and say enough is enough, God help us. For us, no one is raising our kids but us, period. Here’s the quote.
