MARCH CAME IN ROARING....

What is that old saying..Yes I agree March came in roaring like a lion the past two days or so. I can hear the wind howling so loudly tonight. We were so lucky here where I am. No threats of loss.  I sit at my computer and think about all the people who have had their lives altered because of the horrible storms and tornadoes that ripped across all our states and counties. How sad to see the destruction so complete that you hardly know what it is you are looking at. One minute you have your home and your life and the next you have nothing, My prayers are sent to those in need there May GOD comfort those who are in harm’s way and tomorrow in the aftermath. 


  I spent almost all of February sick with what most everyone else has. The urgent care has been busy with a virus that takes a long time to shake without some kind of help from an antibiotic. The endless coughing and sleepless nights really wore me out. I sure am careful when I go out now to stay away from people a lot, sure don't want that over again. There was
snow for us here, the winter is here for awhile. Mother nature is so confused.  We are on a roller coaster it seems. Makes me wonder what the Spring and Summer will be once it finally gets here. I have seen more green grass this winter than ever before. Kids missed out on sledding and  ice skating this year here and in other places nothing but one snow storm after another. Mixed up world for sure. Hope this short update finds you all well and safe.

MOVING ON Part Two

Part Two is made up of two parts... One moving stuff in and getting it settled and Two getting used to apartment living again. I LOVE IT! 

I had the help of some of my gal friends and I managed to get a lot done this past week. There have been many delays.. the weather for one, my exhaustion for another. Making so many trips to the apartment by the car loads just plain wore me out. I know that at the end I will be more than satisfied that I did it mostly by myself and that I accomplished a lot. I didn't really have any furniture to speak of. Some small things and a lot I will be picking up along the way. I gave away a lot when I had no place to store them and others kept them safe for me. It was good to see them again. This chair was found at an estate sale. My girlfriend and I got it into her car and took it to it's new home. I love to rock in it. Matches things great.  We stopped by this large sale and saw many things there priced really low and some really new. I was excited to say the least. I learned that the children were selling the whole house full after their last parent, their father had died not three weeks before. I sat in the chair and it was so comfy. I really appreciated how clean and new looking it was. The lady teared up and said" I can see my mother rocking in that chair." That is all it took.. I started crying myself. I told her that I would take very good care of the chair and cherish the memory of her mother.It was a moment I would never forget. I have spent many hours in it so far...thinking about new life and new beginnings.
                                                           


SALT.. a clock.. a hammer...soap,how could you forget these things?? Well I did..I found myself without a lot of small things. Scissors, a screw driver. I remembered so well where they were in our old home. How many we had of each kind... all gone now. Starting over at my age is not easy..there are a lot of bumps along the way but I will get there sooner or later.. There is more to come...just have to take time to tell you all about them..it's a real story.. LIFE over again... hopefully for the last time moving too.

NASCAR in front of our store, those cars are sooooo loud when they start them up, makes your teeth rattle.
This cup made me laugh because my Sis always says this to me..she's a real cat lover! Had to buy it!!
Love the color of this Phlox..
Farmer's Market had such nice fresh vegetables..loved this little salesman. I bought beans because his
sign said.. "Corn may be wormy" ..talk about honesty!
