Good afternoon to Everyone,
The above picture was taken in January. Trudy, oranges on the tree should look pretty normal to you! I like the way the sun was hitting the leaves & the brick walk was in the background. I love taking the camera when I go out for a walk because I "look" more!! Despite the sun it was a cool day only in the 50's & with a breeze.
Trudy, I am so sorry about Sharon. You will always miss her but I am sure knowing her has brought you joy & friendship. Having someone you care about pass away is never easy.
Oops! Laundry calling, I will come back. Okay I'm back!! Got into a discussion with a neighbor.
Margie, the Super Bowl was a disappointment since "we" didn't win but at least the game wasn't a total lopsided blow out. I was pretty concerned at the end of the first half & not to optimistic. At least the Niners played ball the second half. When they returned on the plane there were fans there to greet them & let them know they are still fans. I thought that was great. Sorry to hear you still have a cough. Hope it goes away soon. Both you & Mary mentioned wanting to seeing Silver Linings Playbook, a friend of mine saw it & gave it high praise. I haven't been to a movie in ages. I see them on DVD here at home but that is not the same. There have been several I would have liked to see.
Amanda, thanks for the "snowy" pictures. To me that is a lot since we don't get it around here. In Medford where I grew up we did get some snow usually once or twice a year. The mountains around us, the Siskiyou's & Mt. Pitt always got snow. Mt. Pitt is really Mt. McLaughlin on the maps! I've posted pictures of it here, I think, that I took when seeing my brother. I'm just glad you & Mary haven't been hit super hard with this storm.
Mary, it sounds like you had a good birthday. The food sounds sooo good. If I can get myself in gear I will make Minestrone soup today although at the moment it doesn't look like a soup day! However, the nights are cold. The roof I see every morning was frosty today but melted away quickly. Glad to hear things are going well with your dental work. I have had deep cleaning, not a favorite thing of mine! Going to the dentist is not a favorite thing of mine!! It sounds like you are reading some good books. I've been reading Cindy Gerard for several years. She is pretty much an auto buy. I do not have her latest but hope to have it soon.
I have three birthdays bam, bam, bam! First my youngest grandson on the 16th, then my younger daughter on the 22nd of this month, then next month my oldest grandson on the 20th of March. He will turn 24! OMG, how did that happen!! It all goes way to quick.
I need to go eat lunch before the laundry is ready to come out of the dryer. So I better tell you I read Catherine Mann's Guardian, a Black Ops series book. I enjoyed it as I always do her work. Now I am reading a non-fiction. I was going to post the cover but it was huge!
Here is another picture instead of a book cover! This pretty little rose was bravely blooming in January. How could I not take a picture?!
Everyone have a good weekend. Find time to read. Margie, Catherine Mann has some free ebooks available. Go to her website to check it out.
Take care, Mary & Amanda stay safe,
Donna M
