is winter really over????

Finally we are above freezing....it can't be long now until spring. I suppose we say it every year...but it seems like a long....winter.

Jane and I went shopping yesterday....I never pass up a chance to be with "my girls". We always have a pleasant time and I don't feel pressured to hurry up!!!

I am trying to keep ahead of my summer ants, by cleaning drawers and cupboards. Hmmm they are nasty little things.

Jane and I talked a little about divorce and how it affects not just those who are directly involved but so many people. I had to dig in my memory bank about my own situation. I had to sell my organ for $300 to pay back taxes....why do I remember that...because I had to ask my dad for the money and I knew they really didn't have all that much. The government waits for no one. My telephone was cut off even though I had paid the bill because of someone else. There were many big things....but I think you remember the things that really hit you emotionally. I have never been bitter and always try to remember the "good times".

Today I am looking forward to seeing Beth and how happy she is. Jane told me that she had never seen her MOm so happy. She has a very positive attitude about life and the respect of little children. She will always be successful.

Tomorrow night we are having dinner with a couple we met on our bus trip, maybe it is an omen that we should take another trip with them . I hope so...I love being around happy people and always looking forward to something in the future.

Thought for today....."Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles....it empties TODAY of its strength."

Happy Trails to Maggie and Jane and be careful.

"Gramma talk"
