IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN SUNNY FLORIDA

Merry Christmas my sweet friends and family.     Today has been such a nice day, would you believe it got to 80 degrees and here it is December 5th.  You can never tell if you will be using the AC or the heater  at times.  Oh how I long for that cold winter feeling.  I am just not a fond lady of the summer heat.

It looks like we will be getting some more rain as very dark out and windy.    I say bring it on as then the cold will follow.  Tomorrow night the low is to be 34.  See, Florida weather is crazy weather.

Wishing you a nice afternoon and a pleasent evening.

Well, I have tried everything I can to get a Christmas background on this puter of mine and for some reason, I simply can not get it to work, so, I want give up but will let the ole brain rest for today.  I am from the ole school and this fancy stuff gets the best of me.  LOL

Such a nice day today here in sunny Florida.  The cold snap has moved on for a few days so hopefully will be nice for awhile.  But, our winter is not over yet as it will be freezing again soon.

Not much on the brain today so saying see ya later when I have more to chat about.

Merry Christmas

To your enemy, forgiveness.

To an opponent, tolerance.

To a friend, your heart.

To all, charity.

To yourself, respect."

IT'S A WONDERFUL DAY

Monday, it is really burrr here in sunny Florida today.  I keep saying, "where is the white stuff at" meaning SNOW.  Seeing the white flakes fall from the sky is such a magical thing.  I did get to spend a winter couple of years ago and had snow several times and I just loved it.  No, I don't want the pile high kind just the slight falling kind and some to cover the top of the ground.  It does snow here in Florida but not often.  Oh the joy it would be to wake up Christmas morning to a white lawn.

With Thanksgiving being only 3 days away I have began preparing my menu and getting my supplies together.  I am so thankful for so much in my life, My Children, hubby and friends and family members.
I said if I could win that Lottery I would make so many happy as I would share and put smiles on the faces of some of the not so lucky people in this world.

I hope you have a wonderful day today, stay warm, happy and give someone a hug today.

My Blaa Day

Afternoon friends, today is one of those blah days for me.     As the story goes, good days and bad days.  This ole age is for the birds.
It is turning cold again and really damp out.  I went to the grocery store this morning and it was packed.  Took me a little longer than it usually does but guess everyone is like me and wants to get the Thanksgiving items early so they can have a nice dinner for their family and friends.

My daughter is having some issues and of course she likes to tell mommie so I have had a down day today as it saddens me to  not to be a ble to help her,  I told my sister-in-law, I will not have any more Kids.  Lol  

Hoping you have a nice afternoon, Catch ya later

Barbara
