Larry's Birthday

Today is Larry's 68th Birthday. I can barely believe that he is that age. I know that age is only a Number...but he has never seemed nor acted his real age. I came to realize that we are both aging. I am getting that "old lady" hair. Pretty soon I will be a "Blue Hair" as Larry calls them.

It is also the start of the week of Valentine's Day. We will be delayed in getting our Valentines present from Jodee and all. I think she has been on a mission for hubby to get me another gift of jewelry. I did not let on that I know, but I would seriously bet on it. It is cute that Larry finally gets it that I like getting gifts. He will buy me things if Jodee tells him to...its so sweet. I have a Valentine for each of the girls and for him. He paid for all of them, but that is not the point. The point is that I did not forget his Birthday, got him a card, and a card for the most Romantic Holiday of the year. Yes, it is commercial. Yes I know he loves me all year and does things for me. But, heck, can I help it if I am a Romantic and love getting gifts? So sue me~!

Just wanted to mention that this week is a good one! We were going to go out to Omaha this past weekend, but there is a snow storm brewing. It was supposed to be here last night, but for some reason is taking its own sweet time to arrive. It is a major blowout so bet we will be staying home for the next 2 days at least. Hopefully the storm will be over by next weekend. The forecasters are saying it will be nice and sunny. I hope this time they got it right. I told hubby today that I have to see my Tyler D. I cannot stand it much longer! I have to get that smoochie from him, I just do! Plus the hugs too! I love to see Jodee and Jamie too, better not forget to mention that!

Hugs Gotta go do some more sorting and purging.

Next time folks, hug yourself and your loved ones. Be grateful for them. I am reading a book about the Civil War and it has opened my eyes to not only how important Family is, but also having a safe place to live. With the unsettled way the world is right now, it is a bit shattering to read.

Just found this short post about Larry's Birthday and Valentine's Day. The funny thing? It was written almost exactly 10 years ago now! Wow. Cannot believe how fast the years flit by.
Yes, I write that quite often in my posts. I do so because it is so true. I will try not to use it so often as to get boring. Where am I compared to 10 years ago? I am in a much, much better place. The strange thing is that it took so long for me to "get it". Health issues now are much more complicated, but my attitude is twice as good. I now realize that today is what is important. It might just be all we get! I promise to do better in being happy where I am an going with the flow when needed. I won't go into the details of my health here, but may make a post about it soon. The sun is finally shinning today although the wind is supposed to blow really hard later on and it is only getting to 60 degrees. The poor birds and critters have got to be confused with the cooling down after so many 70 degree days. Heck, it snowed the other day, in April. I remember one year when we had snow I June! So, each nice day we get, we enjoy.

That is all for now, want to get some more of my work printed out.

Hugs, Katie
