Woke up to a Dusting of Snow

Not enough to even cover the grass. What is this winter coming to? I love the warm weather, but I know it has hurt so many businesses that rely on the snow and cold.
When I got up this morning a little after 7 a.m., it was gray and dull, and I did all my normal things like read my email and eat my breakfast, but all of a sudden I was so tired. I laid down on the couch and covered up with my quilt, and pretty soon I was sleeping. When I woke up this time about a half hour later...or so....the sun was shining, and I feel so much better!!
Yesterday, I did very little that is noticeable. I tried on some new clothes and tried to decide whether I would take it on vacation or not. I also actually gathered a lot of stuff and did some closet organizing a long the way.
I spent a lot of time on the computer...trying to figure out a site called Pinterest and...forwarding a invitation to all the female cousins to "It's All about Debbie Vegas Trip"
Twenty years ago Debbie turned 40, and that was the beginning of the Cousin's Chronicle a Cousin's newsletter that I wrote, printed and mailed out to at the end 90 cousins, aunts and uncles. I did this for about 15 years monthly. I guess about the time Gene died or maybe before that I started emailing it instead and then I started a Schieber Cousin's Chronicle blog and put news and prayer requests on their, but I then started this blog, and slowly but surely, I just sent out anything people request me to forward to the cousins by email. Cousins are pretty good at keeping me updated on new email addresses etc. (In-fact I got two changes yesterday).
Anyway Vegas was a blast 20 years ago, and the cousins have repeated a couple of times, and this year Debbie turns 60 and we hope to beat the number of female cousins we had 20 years ago. We had 26 then....I'm guessing we will beat it. Everyone has heard how much fun we have.
So I spent a lot of time answering emails, Facebooking about Pinterest and then researching flights and hotel rates. I'm going to share my room with Kathleen, Judy and Jeannie. And the D's are talking about getting 2 adjoining 2 queen bed rooms, and may let a few others join them. It's so excited.
I also read a Caringbridge notice regarding Lottie Virnig. She was admitted to the Geriatric Mental Health Unit at Unity Hospital Wednesday night. So please pray that they can help her control her anxiety, take her meds and strengthen her physically as well. I feel so bad for her. Chemo is a pretty easy thing for me. More of an inconvenience if anything...although I have turned it into a social event too. I just wish it was that easy for her too.
I read cousin Louie's Caringbridge site every day, and he is doing all the PT and OT a couple of times a week, but in testing his range of motion in a couple of areas, he is losing ground quickly. He right now can't even raise his arm 90 degree's and most of us, if not all, can raise our arm 180 degrees. So add some more prayers for him.
Today I have a couple of errands to run, and other than that not a very exciting day. But the sun is shining, so I'll make the most of it. Love and Prayers, m
