Well as you can tell I am a little behind!! :) I haven't been here for several weeks except for Simple Women's Daybook but I am back and I am going to try to be better about blogging!!

It was a rough January for me but I am doing much better and feeling more like my old self...literally old self!! LOL I had a bout of the shingles in January..actually started around Christmas..then a nasty cold but am recovered and thank the Lord for touching me and healing up these problems.

It's been a cold and snowy month, not a huge amount of snow, just enough to keep everything nice and white. We are expecting a snow storm the beginning of the week (that's what the weathermen are saying) have to wait and see I guess.

Not a lot of news here..it's been a quiet month after such a busy December.
We did have a couple birthdays in January. Our daughter in law Sharon and our granddaughter Alyssa. Alyssa lives on Mackinac Island year round now and wasn't able to make it home for Christmas or her birthday..but she is enjoying all the snow they have there and enjoying her snowmobile on the island..the only time a gas powered vehicle is allowed on the island!

Here is a picture of her puppy Cleo that she took last week...



Our grandson Derek is in the Navy and was out on ship for about 6 months..he got home right around Christmas and wasn't able to get here to Michigan until the first part of January..he has 2 little girls that live close by us with their Mom and stepdad and so he was very anxious to get here to spend 10 days with them..our daughter Pam and her husband had a get together at their house so we could all have some time to catch up with Derek.
Here are some photos from our get together..

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and catching up with me!! Have a wonderful Sunday evening...
