Since my last post we have been to Iowa to visit our son and daughter-in-law, to North Dakota to visit our daughter and back to Iowa for Easter. We got snowed in in Iowa for a day but did make it home safely. There was more snow in North Dakota. We went to Grand Forks to a Fighting Sioux vs St. Cloud hockey game. It was a tie but a very good game. The Engelstad Arena is marvelous!
We spent Easter in Iowa last year and again this year. My daughter-in-law and I went shopping on Saturday and had a super time. We didn't buy much but had a grand time just looking around. We had ham for Easter dinner and everyone ate way too much!
Upon arriving at home, we were greeted by a leaking hot water heater. We now have a brand new one that does not leak.
There is more snow in our forecast and we just lost what we had. Yes, I guess it is spring as the snow keeps falling.
A smile is a language understood by all persons.

Has it been that long...
Wow, didn't realize that it had been over a month since my last entry! Well, my daughter-in-law is here, legally with a social security # and a green card. It took a year but at least she won't be sent back to England! We're planning to visit them the end of this month and we'll probably be there for Easter, too.
Our weather has been cold and with the gas prices up we're spending a small fortune on heat. At least we're warm.
I spend all morning in the ER a couple of weeks ago. I had a horrible nose bleed and the big guns had to be called in. Our local ENT came in and zapped me a few times to get it to stop. We now sleep with a humidifier in the bedroom and my husband says it has even improved my snoring. What a deal! I think I'm sleeping better, too.
To day is Ash Wednesday so I hope most of you will either attend a church service this evening or give some deep thought to the meaning of Lent. What are you giving up for Lent? I think I will give up desserts. I need to get back in the swing at Weight Watchers, too plus go back to Curves. My body is starting to rebel against all the bad things I have been doing to it. Better choices when eating and more exercise are definitely the things I need to work on.
Oh, I got a new phone, a LG enV and it's orange!
God is here, celebrate, fill the world with joy. Dance your dance, sing your song,
Fill the world with joy!

We Made It Through Christmas
Both kids made it home for Christmas. My daughter brought her boyfriend but our daughter-in-law isn't here yet so our son came alone.
BIG NEWS! My son is flying to England on Jan. 9 and flying home with his wife on Jan. 13! Please pray that everything goes smoothly and they arrive in the US safe and sound.
Not much happening, Christmas went well. Nobody got a lot of presents but it was great having all of us together. I suppose next year my daughter will go home with her boyfriend for Christmas. We'll probably go to Iowa with my son and daughter-in-law. I hope all of you had a very special Christmas this year!
Remember our military HEROES!!! They all need our support and prayers.

It's Been A Month
We've got snow! The plows have been out and the neighbors have been snow-blowing and shoveling. It looks like we'll have a white Christmas. Both my son and daughter will be here. My daughter-in-law got her call from London and her interview is Dec. 7 - Pearl Harbor Day - so we're hoping everything will go well. The plan now is for my son to fly over after Christmas and then the 2 of them will fly back here together. Keep the prayers going!
Remember our troops. They are fighting for OUR FREEDOM and they are our HEROES! They need all the prayers we can muster. Keep the prayers going for all of them!

Halloween's Over
We didn't get trick-or-treated to death this year. There just weren't too many kids out and about. I think there are getting to be more and more church activities, school activities and a lot of trunk-or-treat gatherings going on now. We have lot of left-overs so I'll leave all that candy for my husband to eat!
It you get a chance, go to YouTube.com and search for Zucchero. He is an Italian blues singer and is quite good. He's got an interesting look about him, too. He sang with Luciano Pavarotti at some of the benefits for children.
No daughter-in-law here yet. She got her very last round of papers sent in to the American Embassy in London so we're hoping she'll get here soon. Maybe for Christmas? Who knows.
Let's pray for lower oil prices.

Ready for Halloween
Tomorrow is the day for all the witches, ghosts, goblins, etc. to come out in full force and "trick or treat" you to death! Have your candy ready!
If you enjoy music, be sure and google or youtube an Italian singer Zucchero. He has an awesome voice! Most of his music is in Italian but it's still beautiful to listen to. He apparently can speak Italian, Spanish and English quite well. Check him out.
My son and his wife did celebrate their first wedding anniversary together! He flew to England just for the celebration. He got back here on Monday and leaves again on Thursday to go to Puerto Rico for a work-related trip. Keep the prayers going for our daughter-in-law to be called in for her interview at the American Embassy in London and then on to the US.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN LENNON!!!!!
Today is John Lennon's birthday and he would be 67 years old. Imagine, a Beatle, being that old! Wow, Ringo turned 67 in July. Paul was 65 in June and George is the youngest and he would be 64 until next Feb.
Speaking of the English, we went to see Elton John on Sunday evening. What a concert, it was great beyond words. He played and sang for 2 1/2 hours with no break. He concluded his concert with my favourite: Your Song.
I just found out that my daughter and her fella will probably be here for Christmas! Last year they were in ND. Now if my daughter-in-law can get over here (cut through all the legal red tape) maybe she will be coming here, too. Please say prayers for the American Embassy in London to call her in for her interview so she can move here to be with her husband, my son. Their first anniversary is the end of this month and they would like to be together again by then.
Remember: F. R. O. G. Fully rely on GOD.
