Looking for Spring!!



Well it's another cold day here in Michigan! I am so ready for spring but trying to be patient!!
I haven't been very good about blogging so after some "encouragement" from my friend Judy I am trying to do better!!

It's been a really snowy winter and I have taken advantage of that by staying inside when the weather made the walking treacherous..after falling a few years back and breaking my foot, toes, and ankle I am a little leery when it gets icy and snowy. Fred even bought me yak traks to put on my shoes that definitely help if I have to go out when it's nasty.

Not a whole lot of excitement around here. Been doing a lot of reading (as usual) and I have started watching the store ads for a new outdoor swing. Last year we waited too late into the season and ended up not finding a new one (in our price range)...so hopefully will find one this spring. Except for spending time with the family and mini trips with hubby...reading outside in my swing is probably my favorite summer activity!!

Yesterday my best friend Cathy and I went out to J Alexander's for a delicious lunch to celebrate her 70th birthday!! We had a nice leisurely lunch and then sat and talked for a couple hours..couldn't believe how fast the time flew by...It's great having a person in your life that knows all about you and still loves you!!

Praying you all are having a fantastic week..Enjoy your day!! Will be back real soon!!

Hi Mum! It was wonderful reading you tonight! I guess if I encouraged you to get back to blogging, then I better get back to it too, huh???

Wow - I didn't realize that you had fallen & broken a few things! I would just stay put until winter passes if I were you. :-) Gotta keep you safe cause you are so needed & loved! :-)

Hope you find your swing this year Mum. I know you love sitting out there reading, & I love to think of you there. I wish I were close to help you look. Love you Mum! Have a blessed week! Hugs
