SPRING AT THE NEST

Morning after snow

SNOW AT LAST

Diary of 5

I am seeing...my dog sleeping by my side

I am hearing...the sound of the TV

I am smelling...fresh air with the windows and doors open on Feb. 2

I tasted...sweet tea with lemon

I am feeling...the sunshine flowing through the windows.

Diary of 5

I am seeing...the local news show

I am hearing...the light snoring of my husband

I am smelling...fresh air from having the doors open for a while

I tasted...hot wings and celery for supper

I am feeling...relaxed and comfortable in my home free of Christmas decorations

Diary of 5

I am seeing...the Florida/Ohio State Gator Bowl

I am hearing...bands playing

I am smelling...the freshness of a brand new year

I tasted...a drink of ginger ale

I am feeling...very relaxed today..

A Year in Review

Another Year

Here we are at the end of 2011!! Where did the year go?? It has been said the older you get the faster the years go by...I,so, agree on this one!!

This must have been a busy year, as I can't remember what all took place!! I know we went to Hilton Head for a vacation, bought a time share, haven't used it since!! I know we made several trips to Williamsburg to visit my aunt and uncle and glad we did, since he passed away in May. I had an aunt to pass away in November. The older we get the more we face death in the face.

I am grateful for a year without a biopsy or a surgery!! I am not saying I didn't have doctors visits, tests, and lots of other things, but no cancer reports!! That makes for a great year!!

We made a trip back to Ohio this year, to attend a funeral of a dear friend, Hokie alumni, and, most importantly, brother in Christ. It was good to see our Ohio friends, spend some time with them, and remember why I miss them!!

As I look back at 2011 and forward to 2012, I am most thankful for God's continuing presence in my life. I pray I can serve Him more faithfully in the New Year..

So to all my "Ole Acquaintances", you will not be forgotten!! Pray all of you have a wonderful, blessed, and healthy New Year!!

Another Birthday
