Feeling Better

Christmas is laying all over my living room rug. That is how far I got even with help from Doug. I have been having a weird sickness. No fever. No runny nose. Just extremely weak and tired. Not sick and tired, just weak and tired. Anyway, today I feel better.

It is cold today; minus temps and according to our weather forecast it will be for the next week. It is good for freezing up the open water but does it have to be that cold? This morning the sky is a rosy pink with a purple-ish blue on the horizon. It always seems to look that way when it is cold.

By the time I figured out iCloud and got this picture of Sleeping Lady taken, all the rosy and blues were gone and all I had left was and is the cold! Brrrrr!

Back to cleaning. And I am thankful today that I feel so good. Thank You Jesus!

"...abounding in thanksgiving." Colossians 2:7

Holidays are Over!

Holidays are over and here it is 2015!

My new years resolution... haha. If anyone ever does these things anymore...
I plan to kiss Doug on his lips every day! He is happy about this resolution and I think I might be able to do this. hehe.  We will see.

Thanksgiving, my family and I made reservations at Cattle Co. for dinner. I was not that impressed. The turkey fixings were not outstanding but there was turkey. Nothing beats home cooked for sure!  But the absence of piles of dishes and aching feet was totally enjoyed with the loving hugs and fun of family around.

Christmas we all got together on Christmas Eve and enjoyed each other. We ate chili soup, played games then opened gifts. It was such a nice time together and the very happy point of the celebration was that our oldest granddaughter was with us.

Divorce is an ugly wound in families and her absence was a result of all the wrongs and hurts that come out of a very caustic separation and divorce. This Christmas I had hope that my dear grandchildren will be climbing out of all this mess to try and proceed on with their own lives, their own ideas of what they want and don't want in their every day's.

I want to get back into blogging.  The constant mind control of an aging Mom and her needs are not here anymore for filling my thoughts away from blogging. So I find myself thinking about what I would like to share.

God has been faithful.

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (ESV)

Waiting For Snow

We have been enjoying such warm weather and I am thankful but I think we need some snow. For the plants, for the snowmachine plans my sons have (running in the Irondog Sled race).
I have just turned on my computer after a very long time! I just pick up my iphone or mini ipad and check the world through those easy to access gadgets but the computer shows so much more and here I am on my blog checking it out. It definitely needs to be updated so maybe today....

Summer 2014

We have had some nice weather and it was too dry but then we had rain and now we have partly sunny skies so we have had a pretty nice summer so far.

We drove up to north for the Nenana Gospel Music Fest which Doug participated in with a group that is now called True North. It was very hot there and with that comes many big bugs! Yeck! The day we came home we had 93 degrees fahrenheit. I had to write that out because I forgot how to do the alt+number to get the degree sign. (If you don't use it---it gets lost somewhere up in that dark cavity.) Anyway, summer is going here in Alaska.

Our garden is producing radishes but nothing else! What's up with that? grrrr. 

My little dog was lost... but now he is found. :-)  Oh boy. That is such a troubling time when some little critter that you love is lost!!!  He is so small I can imaging all sorts of horrid things happening to him. Foxes. Eagles. Other big dogs. Wolves. Bears. Big mosquitoes sucking him to death! Yes, I have a wild and vivid imagination and most of the time it causes grief... not only for me but for the ones I love. :-P

I hope your summer, or winter is going well so far.
