It's DECEMBER

Yes, I know it's the 30th. And that means I'm a little slow BUT. 

It DECEMBER and I'm one year older for the last 3 days🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

For all of us who are born 

In years now and gone

      I say to you all

      It's a very hard call

To really get into the tone

Of all the razzle and dash

That goes with presents and trash

      BUT to all with a birthday

      I just want to say 

Happy Birthday and have a Bash!!!

I figured it out

These last few months I've seen Jerry go from a normal guy to a person who can't remember how to put ice into his glass from the fridge. It's not an easy process to see someone you love go through this but that's the way life is right now. 

And that is why I've not posted much lately. I don't want to come off as depressed. Neither jerry or I are depressed. Well, maybe for a little time. Like when he was talking about his Linda to me not knowing I am that person. Sad. Crying sad. 

And then I realized that was part of the process. And my job is to help him slide into the next phase as contently as possible. 

Our journey is not over so we are going to face it head on and know Who is looking out for us. 

Our Lynn

Our Lynn and Our Keith are so wonderful to us. Last night was Donnas Christmas party--our Lynn took the time to take me to the party. Lots of food, gifts, and girlfriend time. 

Keith stayed with Jerry. I knew they were going to put up the blow up Santa. I had forgotten just how tall it is!!

And Our Lynn and Our Keith got us an early Christmas present. One of those lights that put out colored beams. All over the house. 

Jerry just can't put up lights anymore. 

NOW we have lights!!

Thank you Lynn and Keith. 

It's almost Thanksgiving🎉🎉🎉🎉

PIt's that time of year again. That time of year when a family tries to decide -- before or after!!

You know-- Christmas lights up and burning before Thanksgiving or after. 

When I was a kid, back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, we put our tree up Christmas Eve. No ornaments or lights. 

So when we got up Christmas morning the room was filled with light and happy things like gifts with ribbons and a big something for my brother and for me. 

Right now I have a 2 foot tall tree on the porch with the lights going strong. And plans for the 4 foot tree on the table again. 

Pictures on Sunday. 

Sun shiney!!!!

Sometimes when it's this time of the year I think about when we lived in Yarmouth. For those of you who don't know, Great Yarmouth is on the east coast of England and south of Norwich. The wind comes right down the North Sea and covers Yarmouth with cold, even in the summer.

But the thing that I am thinking of today is the time that we had temps in the 20's.  Cold!!!! Windy!!! Sun shining!!! The road look as if it had diamonds on it.

Even though the cars were as many as usual the frost on the roadbed stayed.

Sparklies allover!!!

The trees----the grass----and the road!!!

I love sparklies!!!!

The Song is Right

When the play "Oklahoma" came onto the stage the songs were and still are sung by a lot of people. The one , we who live in Oklahoma can really relate to has the phrase "when the wind comes sweeping down the plain" !!!!!

Today the "wind" was sweeping BIG time!! The flag at the bank was straight out. 

I told my husband it was straight from the west. 

His reply" totally". 

I cracked up because his usual reply would be " that's not good". 

To hear totally from him would make the grandkids smile. 

Tax Day😒😒

I didn't have time or energy to go to the CPA to get tax done so I usedTurbo Tax.  

Took me 2.5 hours but saved me $150 in fees. 

It's done!! It's on it's way and I am a happy camper😘😘😘😘😘
