Nice Weekend

The weather has been a warming trend and we have had most of of inches of snow now turn to sog. It is nice to see the bear ground again.

We attended several different events these last few days....

Saturday was my 68 th birthday and I went to eye doctor for exam and new glasses.... Been a few years and I think they were damaged during my heart attack and the emergency room and Life Flight ride..... That was my very nice birthday present from Tom... he paid for my glasses.... very much appreciated....

Last night we attended our church parish appreciation dinner at St. Michael's Ridge Church and had a very nice time.... Drinks and every snack imaginable ...... followed by a catered dinner of chicken breast and beef.... mashed potatoes... green beans... choices of at least 10 different salads and veggies.... pie or cheese cake ... followed by help yourself again... I defianately couldn't do the again.... What a lovely spread......

Just wanted to post a short note and let all know I am doing much better and seem to be maintaining a stronger attitude as I adjust to my meds.... Will try to post some posts this week with alittle more creativity and interest.....

Prayers and thoughts go out to Klyie http://abiteofcountrycupcakes.blogspot.com in Australia where they have suffered great losses of live and devestation.... May God bless you ... friends and family and neighbors.... Kylie and her family are safe but many aren't and have endured what they never will forget....

Hi Marietta! Glad you are feeling better and out and about. I think warmer weather makes everybody feel better. I know that I have enjoyed it lately, and we finally got some rain that we needed.

Hi Marietta,
I am so glad you are feeling better and warmer weather always helps! Now we have a pond in our yard from melting snow, but I will take that over piles of snow anyday! :)

I need to get my eyes checked and new glasses as well. Been probably 3 or 4 years for me. So nice of Tom to buy them for you! HAPPY belated birthday!!
Blessings~
