Friday's Ramdon 5

I have really been having a hard time getting motivated.  This winter  has had so many cold, cloudy, dreary days.  We haven't even had much snow to pretty up the landscape.  I shouldn't complain as we have not had the awful weather that others have been having.

I've been debating if I should quit my blog.  But I guess I'm not quite ready even though I hardly get around to posting or to visit any of you. I have been spending more time on Facebook and have connected with several of you there.

My visit to Mayo didn't give me quite the news I was hoping for.  So I will be going back in April for more tests and decide what treatment I will have.

I had a fun weekend over Valentines Day.  I went to my daughter's in Waconia and she and her husband took me out to eat for my birthday on Friday the 13th.  Then I spent Valentine's day at my granddaughter's school where they were having a Show Choir competition.  It is so fun to see all the different schools perform.  They come from all over.  Her group didn't compete because they were hosting the competition.  But they did perform.

Even though this winter has been pretty blah we have had a few beautiful sunsets.

Have a great weekend and stay warm!

See you next time.

Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Years Eve.  Pretty quiet around here.  I have come down with a miserable cold and didn't even get out of my PJ's New Years Day.  A lot of you have been reviewing 2013, but I have decided to look ahead to 2014 instead.  The first 6 months of last year were pretty stressful with my mom being sick and then passing away and all the doctor's appointment for me while trying to find out what was going on with me.  The second half of the year was pretty uneventful except for the fun time at the Tall Ship Festival in Duluth.  And then of course Christmas Eve was pretty special with my daughter getting engaged.  You can read about that in my last post.

I'm not making any New Year's Resolutions because I don't usually keep them anyway.  I do better if I set goals for myself.  The biggest goal for this year is to clean out and organize my basement.  I had started that last year but then after mom passed away, all of her things ended up in my basement.  Wish me luck because it looks like I am a hoarder.  Well maybe I am.  I have some fun things to look forward to this year.  One being my daughter's wedding and possibly some traveling!

It has been way to cold here to go out and take pictures so I have been taking some through the windows.
This one if on New Years Eve morning with the snow coming down.

These 2 were taken this morning with the frost on the windows. The sun was shining brightly.  But the frost was so thick you can't even see anything outside except a few speckles of sun shining through.

The frost does really  make for some interesting patterns. 

Thanks to all of you for following along with me and all your nice comments.  They mean a lot to me.

Until next time
