I've been checking in intermittently and I think I've mentioned life has been very demanding. I won't go into it tonight.


It's 9F here right now. Maybe as low as -20F below tonight. I am grateful for the new furnace!


My niece came to visit today. We had a great time....AGAIN!!! The good times never end with her! She's delightful in every way!

I gave her a gift I had chosen for her. She loves sparkly things! Her eyes lit up!. I was/am thrilled, as it was a bold choice and not everyone would have the fun-loving courage to show these off! What FUN!


I am thankful for a day away from the ongoing demands.

Am weary and hope to retire early tonight!


Love to all!
