• Fun unexpected phone call from my cousin Tom….Wis. dairy farmer….maple syrup :)
• Amanda working on her conversational French
• GPa meeting another Korean veteran…war stories :)
• True story:  remembering the huge train wreck on Feb. 2, some 25+ yrs. ago, at about 3a.m….it was minus 72 degrees with wind chill !! Yes, 72 degrees below zero :(  Explosion woke us up!  The windows at the Carroll College dorms were blown out… grateful because no one was seriously injured throughout it all….night before the dorm students had pulled their beds away from the windows and covered the windows with the curtains to keep out the cold…a blessing.  The students were transported to a safe place and they were lining up to use a phone to call parents….no cell phones then!  Property damage throughout a large area….our home was okay….went to work that day and pitched in for those people who were not able to be there. 
• David watching the Broncos parade in Denver…got good pics of Peyton as well :)
• Cathy back from her fun trip to Florida :)
• Harry with his white “santa” beard….when he saw our overloaded grocery basket at the store he exclaimed “Holy Christmas! You’re gonna have to get a job!” …to pay for the groceries, of course LOL  Good ole Harry, gotta love him :) 

Hubby is doing his best. What a difficult time this is!

He’s cooked the meals and done the dishes

More important than dinner out or cards or Reese’s

I could have a stack  of cards but they’re just wishes

For dinner last night he had a fish sandwich

Hubby is the best. Valentine’s Wishes!

How pretty the snow looks!

The sound of snow plows clearing my way

Just the right amount

Knowing where my snow brush is

The ultimate blunder that has hubby and me back on track

Walking around better

Ice packs

Silly cats

Spending the evening hunting for my rice ice pack then finding it this morning!

Be safe!

Rose told me when I fell last week that I should slow down.

Let my actions be intentional,mindful,appreciative,kind,constructive,well chosen,contemplative and careful.

Today I am grateful for snow scrapers,warm socks, morning coffee, unexpected money, laughter, brighter spirits and clean underwear!

Grateful to be me

Grateful for he

Remembering to be kind

Being patient with myself and others

Deep breaths

Late dinner always tastes better

Meatloaf shared

Roasted cauliflower

Have a grateful day!
