I spoke too soon!

Forest Sunlight https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/forest-sunlight-by-madonna/ Well I spoke to soon about getting through the winter without a cold or flu! We got through the winter but spring decided to get us!  So we are both hacking and aching. Plus having no energy. My hubby said at lunch he felt like he just needed to take a nap! As if he would ever nap in the daytime. I feel like that, too but will keep working.  I hope everyone had a nice Easter. It was good to be with family. Our weather is fantastic this week. Sunny and warm. We have sat out on the deck the last three days for our "happy half hour" when we read the paper, have a few chips and a little wine before dinner. And I got to hang laundry out yesterday, too. First time this year. Next week will be our 59th wedding anniversary! It sure doesn't seem like that long ago. We have been together for 60 years because we dated for a year before we got married. That sounds like such...

Are You Ready for Easter?

Pretty Posies by MaDonna https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pretty-posies-by-madonna/ Spring has sprung! It really doesn't feel like spring today but it has in the past few days. I am so ready for really warm weather. This has been the very first winter that neither my husband nor I have had a cold. I don't remember a winter when we haven't had at least one cold. Whenever one of us would catch one, we would try very hard to keep the other one from catching it but that is impossible! So it was great to not get sick. We have noticed that since we have gotten older the colds bother us a lot more and we get sicker. So this was a pleasant winter. We only had a few cold nights, too. It was almost like fall all winter. But it was one of the wettest winter's on record so we got a lot of rain.  Are you ready for Easter? We are going to our daughter's home for a non traditional Easter. We used to always have a big ham dinner for Easter but they ar...

Felling Better Today!

At The Bird Feeder https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/at-the-bird-feeder-by-madonna/ Well, I should apologize for the "downer" post of last week but I am better today. Just once in awhile I get that way for some reason. We lived through the horrible wind storms we had Thursday and Sunday. We woke up Thursday morning with a bunch of our big trees down with big root balls on them and parts of our fence down. We had up to 80 MPH winds. I slept through it cause I wear ear plugs! My husband said he was surprised to see our barn still standing. He was out looking at the damage and the wind was still blowing hard and the top of a big spruce tree fell right beside him. He said he heard a huge "whump" and turned around and there it was. He was just lucky because it would have done some major damage to him. Our daughter lives in town and there are huge trees in her neighbors yards and she worries every time the wind blows. She has had one neighbors tr...

Older and Downer!

Light in the Forest https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/light-in-the-forest-by-madonna/  Well, I don't usually write on my blog when I am "down". but I am going to.  Had my 77th birthday and it was a nice day and I guess you should celebrate that you are still alive! So that part I am but the aches and pains start to get to you after while. Neither my husband or I are sleeping very good so that doesn't help any. He never has that problem but I have. That is one of the worst parts of Fibromyalgia is not sleeping well, so I am used to it, but it is worse right now. He keeps on working every day, though. Seems like I am more tired in the morning than when I go to bed. I noticed this morning once I get on the exercise bike and get my blood moving I have more energy and feel better, BUT sometimes it is the last thing I want to do! Our oldest great grandson had his first lacrosse game last Saturday. It was close to home so we got to see him play....
