Good morning, if you think it's cold this morning.....wait till tomorrow. They are talking about wind chill of 30 below....actual temp of -14. BRRRR! Luckily I have no need to leave the house except to get the mail......Maybe I'll drive the car out to the mail box....hehe!!
If any of you missed the update on yesterday's blog....you'll have to go back and check it out. I found the camera under the TV and posted the pictures of Bill and Nick....oh and also Matthew and the one that Matthew took of his pet dog "Jack".
I had my hair cut and colored yesterday....and my son-in-law followed me into the chair to have his hair cut....I hear that Jimbo and Ann had hair cuts yesterday too! It must have been national hair cut day!! Anyway, I'm ready for the trip in that department. Also eliminated some of the clothes on the bed that I put back in the closet....but still have a pile to pack. Also narrowed down to 3 pair of shoes, and I'll wear my Uggs so I'll have warm boots for the beginning of the trip....and the end. Can't leave home without that in the winter. I'm considering taking snowpants and a ski cap for emergency use as well. Better to be safe than sorry.
Brace yourselves.....I'm going to do laundry again today!!! Don't want to leave home with a basket full of dirty clothes. I think I'll empty all the garbage cans, as tomorrow is garbage day....and recycling day, and my barrel is full of recycling. Not much actual garbage. Also, I have to go back to the packing thing. I think I have everything gathered, now I have to stuff it into a suitcase....I may eliminate things again at that point. I can always buy anything I forgot along the way!!
I've contacted the paper and post office already and touched base with those I'll be stopping at and even got the car washed yesterday. I'm sure it won't stay clean for long....but atleast I'll be starting out with a clean car. So what am I forgetting to do? I hope nothing.
Kathleen called yesterday and skyped me....but couldn't get her camera to work....so it was a one sided thing....she could see me, and I showed her all the pictures I got for Christmas from my kids....and it's a lot. She also has coordinated to meet us in Naples at Jim's. That should really be fun. I can't wait.
I started counting visitors to my site last Fall some time....I don't remember exactly....but before I went to the hospital and they report to me weekly how many hits I've had, and the average per day etc. So far I've had over 6000 hits. Somewhere between 35 and 40 average per day.....I have a hard time believing that that many people are actually reading my rambling....but I do feel the love and prayers....so that is proof enough.
While I'm gone, I will try and write, but I think it will probably be in the evening before I go to bed instead of the morning....I'm sure I won't have time then. I also won't have access to the internet at a few places....like the Zimmer's in Destin. But I will try and get on as often as I can. So till tomorrow...keep those prayers coming for me and Bucky....he starts his chemo today.....Love and prayers, m
