Looking Outside.....

Looking outside, we have about 2 inches of snow on the ground with a sheet of ice on top. I certainly don't plan on being on the road today. I am awaiting for the Spring season to arrive for some warmth and hopefully some happiness.

I hope my mother-in-law recovers quickly from her knee surgery and I hope that my father-in-law is doing well.

Happy New Year

Already January 1st, 2011. I hope this year is an improvement for many of us. I wish the best to everyone I know and care about and even those that I don't know. I will try and be more attentive to blogging.

I wish everyone a happy and healthy new year.

Pardon Me...

Please pardon me, while take some time off from blogging. I should posted this sometime ago. It can be difficult to handle this the same way it had been done before. I hope at some point in the near future, I can continue to manage this somewhat better.

Kitty Sitting

Alyssa and Charlie left for vacation this morning, they usually do this around their anniversary. They are headed south and I don't blame them. So I get to kitty-cat watch and bunny rabbit watch. I know how Alyssa is, she will worry about them the whole time she is gone. I just told her not to worry and just to enjoy their break. I have Chester, Misty and Cinnabon to care for. They are all adorable. Gaetano and I will be splitting the task of caring for them. I am glad I am able to help.

Also Happy Birthday to my niece Jade, she is 18 today.

I will probably go for a bike ride this morning and take care of other things as the day goes. Take care of everyone.

Very Chilly Morning

As it feels like a fall morning outside, it is difficult to believe fall is almost upon us. I continue to try and back to the usual things in life, sometimes easier than others. The biggest accomplishment has been the drivers license, but my heart still heart aches beyond what I can explain.

I never look forward to the cooler months of the year, but that is just the way it happens to be.

Unfortunately Jim's Uncle Rhea passed away this week and had been dealing with quite a few problems for quite some time. I was only able to be around him a few times and enjoyed those times, he was a character.

I did enjoy being with my daughter on her birthday (25), that makes me feel ancient. It was a good thing.

All of you take care and thank you for your support.

Happy Anniversary - By Jim 2007

Barb, I've known since the first time I met you that I wanted to be with you.

I've known since the first time we met, that you were perfect for me.

Sometimes in life the bells ring, the signals all alarm, and you just know something is so right.

That is how it has always been for me with you.

I feel we fit togehter like a glove. Perfect.

Your strengths are my weaknesses. You compliment me, support me, uphold me in every way.

I've found perfect love within us, and I will hold on to it forever.

You are each day's sunrise and sunset for me.

I live and give my life for you, totally, in every way.

There are a lot of unknowns in life.

...but I treasure the fact that I can hold in my heart...

...the guarantee that it's you and me forever.

I love you more than you can possibly imagine!

Happy Anniversary!

*I feel that Jim would not have minded my sharing this with those that Jim knew well enough the kind of person that Jim was*

August 1st Already

I cannot believe it August 1st. I have begun painting the kitchen ceiling and will continue with trim and walls. This is one of many things that Jim and I had wanted to get accomplished. We had done the living room and it had turned out just the way we had wanted it to.

My road test is September 1st and I hopeful that all will work out.

I know Jim will continue to watch over me and the entire family, in the things we continue to do in our lives.
