It certainly has been wonderful to hear from everyone tonight. Still can't stay online very long at a time. Y'all have a good eveniing, friends.

Ruth Ann

Hi everyone.  Happy to say I am feeling rested this morning and looking forward to a nice day.  The weather is just beautiful here yesterday and suppose to be even better today with highs in the 60s.  I do feel for the folks in the NE and all the snow they have had plus understand more is on the way.

Hi Ruth Ann, so good to see a post from you. 

Marilyn, I hadn't heard about oil going that high.  It sounds like panic is setting in on the part of the speculators.  I sure hope the commentators are wrong.

Janet, glad to hear that your fast is going so well.  I would think you wouldn't really have to do anything but tear up the scam papers since you took no action. 

Carol, hope Don has better reception at his next woodworking class.  It is sometimes difficult to be included in a group if most of the group already knows each other.  It sounds like you are going to have sometime the next few days to just relax and enjoy Arizona without having to entertain others.

Gord, very enjoyable talking with you last night.  Glad you straightened out the email address question.  Hope Noreen is feeling better soon. 

Etta Sue, I learned yesterday that you can tap the angry bird in flight and it causes it to break in more pieces.  I seem to be stuck on level II-3 but will keep trying periodically.  A friend yesterday showed me that his wife was at level 18 on their Droid phone.

Time for coffee and then am meeting a friend for a quick trip into Atlanta.  I should be home by noon and that will be it for the day.

Janet ~ I must be dumb.  How did these people get your mailing address and email address?  Did you sign up to be a secret shopper online?  Just don't understand how the two ties together. 

Marilyn ~ When you go to 'Market'  , search by clicking on the magnifying glass and put in 'AK Notepad'.  I have it and it is like it says...a notepad to write notes on to yourself.

Larry ~ I have only gotten to #7 and probably level 1 or maybe that is level 7.  Those are some nasty birds!!

Kitty and I are going swimming today and whatever else enters our mind.  Bob is going to a Purdue basketball game so she has the day off! 

It is suppose to get to 32 degrees today but so far, no sunshine.  So it will be a cold 32 instead of a warm 32...

Ruth Ann Good to hear from you.

Etta Sue you are so right a sunny 32 is warmer than a cloudy 32!!!!

John is home, and early this am he got a bag ful of ice for my shoulder and I was so surprised/happy that it relieved the pain.  I was able to get back to sleep and really rest.

Thought for today.  Are you discouraged in your Christian walk?  Think back in time and list all the times God has blessed you and answered prayer.  Write these times down in a journal so you can review and add to them as memory returns.  Keep on journaling, doodle, draw pictures, but keep track of blessings.  This is exactly what Joshua did as her reminded the Hebrews when they were discouraged.

Joshua said to the people, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ...I took your ancestor Abraham from the land beyond the Euphrates and led him to the land of Canaan. I gave him many descendents through his son Isaac.... Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and I brought terrible plagues on Egypt; and afterward I brought you out as a free people.... With your very own eyes you saw what I did.... Finally, I brought you into the land of the Amorites on the east side of the Jordan. They fought against you, but I gave you victory over them, and you took possession of their land.... When you crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho, the men of Jericho fought against you. There were also many others who fought you. ... It was not your swords or bows that brought you victory. I gave you land you had not worked for, and I gave you cities you did not build—the cities in which you are now living. I gave you vineyards and olive groves for food, though you did not plant them.

Joshua 24:2-13 NLT

Thank you Judy for those thought today.  I don't know how many times I have forgotten to thank god for the blessings I have received, Sometimes I  remember at night after I have been blessed all day long. wouldn't be nice if we  thanked Him immediately upon receiving the blessing.

Thank you Etta Sue, Now I have the app on my cell

Saturday, and another week has flown by!  Seems they go faster and faster and faster and.........whew!

Darrel had a trouble call to run in Hugoton today, so I went along and had a nice visit with daughter Diane at her store; then we took her, Mark and Abby to lunch.  Always so good to see them!  Jeff is on the building team for their church, and the team had gone to Garden City to look at a church there.  I am so thrilled their church is going well, and planning to build a new building.  They have outgrown their present one.

It is time to ice my back again!  We are making an emergency trip to Amarillo tomorrow to see Darrel's sweet mom, she is in big trouble with congestive heart failure, barely made it through the day yesterday and is back in the hospital again.

Praying for you both Hanet.

Pat you have a storm heading your way mid week.  Hope it by-passes, we will be free of it thankfully.

Went out and did a bit of shopping, while we were at it I grabbed a pair of $12.00 runners.  My last pair lasted me over a year, so that is not too bad.  We also put the car through a wash only to have the doors freeze shut.  Thankfully John had the strength to break the ice seal!  

Clear sky tonight, it will be cold.  We have been invited out to lunch tomorrow, it will be nice for John to not have to worry about that meal.  He is planning on being gone a full 7 days as he has next Monday through to Wednesday off.  My check up is Wednesday, so the earliest he will be going out will be Thursday.  That means another weekend alone. Oh well, thems the breaks with his kind of job, he has to get the miles in somehow.  

Enough rambling
Night all
Judy

Hi Gang Me Again. Got home this morning at about 1am and Judy and I sort of took it easy today and went out to do some grocery shopping and it gave Judy a chance to get out of the house for a while. Sun been shining all day here but still cold. Better that what I came home in last night It pretty much snow all the way up from Toronto to Temiscaming PQ where i lad to drop my load and pick up another trailer to come back with. Temiscaming is in northern Quebec about an hour from where we live. When I went to get heading home I discovered that one of the brakes on the trailer had froze with the cold and took me about an hour in the middle of the night to get it to release. second time this week. But thats part of the job when you travel the north country like I do. Other than that My week was uneventful travelling back and forth between Toronto and Cleveland OH. Appreciate everones words of encouragement for Judy. She is doing better that expected and for that we are thankful to our Lord for His healing power. Going to go tend to the fire and get ready to go to bed so we can get up for church in the am. God Bless everyone. Bonesy.

Another rough night for sleeping.  Stayed up too late and that has done me in, I now have my second wind!!!.

Church today and then to Tony's to celebrate his 50th birthday!  I don't mind telling people I am 68 but I really feel old when I think that my son is 50! 

So as Arnold would say, 'I'll be back!'

Hi everyone.  It was a very enjoyable day yesterday.  My friend and I had a nice trip to Atlanta and then stopped and had lunch together at the Golden Corral buffet.  Needless to say I wasn't hungry the rest of the day.  

I found an application to put on my android ebook reader that plays audio books and downloaded several.  Now whether I will listen to them or not is the question.  Just fun to be able to do it and have it work.  There were also many other applications and I picked out several but while it indicated they installed I didn't find them so maybe didn't do something right.

We will head to church in a little while and then this evening we are taking our friend, Rod and Betty, with us back to the church to see  Brad Sherrill's internationally-acclaimed PROPHETS - a one-man, multimedia performance.  He was at out church a few years ago with his presentation on the book of John and it was very moving.  You can find him on YouTube and he has a brief preview of his presentation available there.

Judy, sorry to see you had a rough night for sleeping.  Glad John is there to help you for a few days.  

John, always nice to see your postings.  I don't envy you having to deal with a big truck in bad weather.  I used to watch the Ice Roads show on TV about the truckers in Canada and all the problems they had working during the cold weather, which is when they were able to do the runs to the mines and oil fields up north using the frozen rivers.

Janet, do hope you find Darrel's mother improved when you get to the hospital.  

Marilyn, I expect we all are a little lax in expressing our gratefulness to our God.  

Etta Sue, last night I downloaded the paid version of Angry Birds but haven't been able to get it to work.  Think I will have to delete it and reinstall it.  My good friend, who was using the free version as I have been, purchased it yesterday and said it was a big improvement.  However, it isn't an improvement if it doesn't work.

We are to have another day of mid-60's weather today.  It is a bit overcast this morning but it already 41 degrees.  It was really nice yesterday.

Up and at it.  Finally slept and not too bad.  Church this morning and to a friends for lunch.  These folks at our church have been so kind.  I thank God for all of them.  I know they are praying.

It is a cold one today.  Clear skies last night and today. it looks like there are diamonds in the snow the sun is so bright.  Absolutely beautiful. I have wished I could take pictures of te sparkle.

Cimi has been told that we are going to work today.  She is now pouting because she knows she is not coming.  It is just too cold to leave her in the car for the length of time we would need to.  Dogs, and yes cats are so experssive as we get to know them and they get to know what specific words mean. 

May God be with you today as you spend time in His presence.  I have been thankful through the years for Church TV when going to church hasn't been possible.

We are meeting Keith's University roommate  for lunch today that is all that is on our docket for the day. It is 45° outside and it is supposed to be raining but the sun is out and it sure doesn't look like it is going to rain, however this is Oregon and you never know what  will happen 

G'Mornin everyone!  I just thought I'd stop by on next to last day of January!  Seems like only last week I was in Spokane celebrating Christmas with my daughter and granddaughter.   

Marilyn, it rained last night and through the night.  S'posed to be dry for the rest of the week, I hear.  Maybe a few (widely) scattered showers today, but no promises ... as you noted: this is Oregon. 

I got my front porch steps (re)built last week, and bought the paint for them and the porch, but the man who is going to finish the job wants to wait until we have a couple dry days before doing the painting.  That should be this week.

Of course, we have Groundhog's Day coming up ... who knows if the li'l creature will see his shadow or not.  (And what does that mean, anyway?)  

I have nothing on the agenda for today, so will just take it as it comes.  Probably bring in some wood for a fire later, though.   

Y'all have a good day and take care ... I'll be back (echoing Etta Sue and Arnold) 

We didn't go to Amarillo today, after all.  I called this morning and Darrel's Mom is a lot better, so we can wait a day or two.  That will let Darrel get an alarm problem fixed and also, we hope, recover more from this crud he has.  He doesn't want to go visit his Mom and take any chance of exposing her to it.  As it is, he will need to wear a mask when we go into the hospital.  And I hope my back will be a lot better, too.  My wonderful friend and chiropractor met me at his office yesterday and gave me an adjustment and put the electricity on me but it's still not 100%.  I will see him again tomorrow.

I have read all your great posts--Judy and Bonesey, glad Judy is doing well and that John can be there with her during this time.

Larry, glad you had a fun outing.  I wish I were a little more techy, but I'm not.  I know your computer and other gadgets give you a lot of pleasure and entertainment.

We had a guest pastor at church this morning, and a wonderful service!!


Now it's time for the ice on my back again.  See you later!

I am here....to save the day...There's a new place...it's on the way!!

It's neither yonder or there...it's here!
