What A Difference A Few Hours Make...

Thursday morning...
Thursday afternoon.
The hill going down to the farm...
Driving down the hill and curve to the farm...
I know y'all with lots of snow are saying,
that's not much!
It was to me!!
I was scared to death driving on this cr...snow.
Made it safely home.

UPDATE:  After trying four times Friday morning to get up this hill, my car rests in a ditch in front of my house, right where she slid.  I may leave her there til spring!

I Tried To Shoot The Moon...





And You Thought I Forgot...

Remember the terrible hair cut, remember the contest, remember my promise of  "On Writing" by Stephen King?  Well, the deadline is here and the entries were fantastic!  It was so hard to choose, I did, honestly, love them all.  This was fun.  Thank you, everyone!

I chose my favorite, and surprise, surprise!...Sue does this for a living.  So email me your address, Sue, and I will get your book out to my place of business, The United States Postal Service, and get that baby mailed.

Sue's Entry:

My hair marches across my head.
Left face. Right face. Full speed ahead.
A hair platoon, in disarray,
With soldiers who will not obey.
Some stepping here. Some strutting there.
Some standing straight up in the air
At full attention, as they please.
I’ve had enough, Hair. Stand at ease.
Obey my orders. Call me ‘Sir.’
Dismissed. Fall out!
(Oops).
As you were.

Just A Twinkle In Her Daddy's Eyes...

only thirty-nine years ago.
Now, that twinkle has grown
into a wonderful, beautiful young woman.
Today begins her thirty-eighth year.

Melissa, my oldest daughter,  is a very warm and loving young lady.  She is  a wonderful mother to Jake.  A very talented lady, but she won't admit that...she's a tad like me...don't tell her.

I am very proud of my daughter, who makes a lot of lemonaide because life has served her lemons now and then. 

To my loving, wonderful daughter, Happy Birthday!!!  I love you, always have, always will...and may the new year be the best you ever had!!!
