Hi Adele,
I am not sure that storm we had was connected to the one in Arkansas. We have snow on the ground right now. It snowed here just about all day long. It was really pretty and the ground is covered and the trees. I love the snow but have not been out in it yet. Kaylee went out and played in the snow for a little while.
The glass case that you made for Tillie is really pretty. You are a very talented person. How is Tillie doing? Is she coming upstairs more now or is she staying in her room. I hope she comes up for her meals and is around all of you.
You always get a lot more snow then we do. It is really prtty when it first falls and no one walks on it. We have to catch it right after it falls or the dogs have walked thru it.
Arthritis really causes a lot of pain. It is horrible because it can hurt every joint in your body. It seems like the older we get the more places it decides to strike. I hope your ankles get better soon.
There is not a lot going on here. Have a great night and stay safe.
Colleen

Hi DD,
That had to be scary when all those fire trucks were there. I hope that everyone is okay and the fire did not do a lot of damage to the first floor. I really hope everything is okay.
I do not know if I will put any decorations out this year. I cannot get to the closet to get the decorations up. My daughter and her daughter are sleeping in that room so it is hard to get to the closet. It is hard to get use to having more people in the house.
Well that is about all from here. How is Critt doing? I hope that he is doing well.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Well we had thunder storms here and the thunder was really loud. One time it was so loud that it shook the whole house. It woke my poor granddaughter up. She screamed and got out of bed she was so scared. I am not sure if she thought maybe it was a tornado or what she thought it was. I felt really bad for her.
I do suck on peppermints and chew gum. Sometimes it helps but sometimes not. I do keep cough medicine around to help with it also. They sell sugar free cough medicine now. That makes it nice for diabetics.
Grayson turned 0ne today. He is such a little cutie. He is walking now also. He does really well if he does not think anyone is watching or he is not thinking about what he is doing.
Not much going on here. Just the same thing every day. Hope you have seen the kids lately especially little Sonny. It is so much fun to see all the new things they have learned. Hope JJ’s cough is gone now and he is doing fine.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
The girls are lucky that they have stayed close. They are always there for each other. I hope they stay that way and never have a falling out. The kids all get along really well also so that makes it nice also.
Poor Piper having to have her teeth pulled at such young age. That is odd that they rotted like that right after having a good check-up. Do they have any idea why it happened. I hope that it does not happen to any of her other teeth. It worries me about Grayson since his dad did not have his front teeth. He has a little girl and she does not have her front teeth either. I hope that she gets her teeth soon. I never see her anymore since he left so do not know if she ever got her teeth or not.
We see our grands more then we thought we would. It is so good to see them. Aliza is a little character. She tries anything she can to get her way. I wonder if she tries that at school. I cannot imagine her teacher letting her get away with it.
Well that is about all from here. PLease have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Poor Marissa. I know that she feels guilty but little ones fall and he is in for a lot more like everyone said. Just wait until he starts walking and has a lot of falls trying. I know that Grayson falls a lot.
The bitter cold can be worse then the snow. They are saying that there is a winter storm coming. It is going thru Kansas but is not coming to Missouri. It is just going around us and going up your way. I hope that it is not as bad as they are saying. We will see what happens.
I hope that they celebrate your birthday soon. I have been coughing but I think that it is happening because of the mask. I am just breathing in my own air. We are not getting fresh air.
I have been watching the masked dancer and still not sure how I feel about that. It is too hard to dance in those costumes I am sure. They seem to be really heavy.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Sound like JJ has allergies. I know that Aliza has them also. She spent the night here last night. She is funny. She tries to not have to go to bed. She tried everything that she could to stay up here. She acted like she was crying for her mom until she found out it was not working. Then she was really hungry and could not sleep so we gave her a snack and a drink of water. So then she needed to hear a story she couldn’t sleep with out it. I had already read two books to her so I read one more and she fell sound asleep.
It is snowing here but not a lot. It will probably end up being a dusting. I would like to have one really good snow that sticks around for a couple of days. One that it melts off the streets and just stays on the grass. That does not happen though.
Grayson was here today. He was not a happy little guy he was teething. Brook forgot to put medicine in his bag and we did not have ora gel or baby asprin here for him. So we were going to go and get something for him when his mom came here. So we told her to go and pick up the medicine for him. That kid works a lot.
I hope that you get to celebrate your birthday Sunday and just enjoy being with your family.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi All,
Adele you should still celebrate your birthday and embrace the family that you have with you. Maybe that was your dad and Heather letting you know that they are there with you. They want you to celebrate and be happy. You will all be together one day but for now you need to celebrate with Tillie and the rest of your family. Just enjoy your life. I know it is hard but you cna do it.
Gail, Greg looks like Ron sitting back in his recliner and snoozing away. At least Greg is doing something. I am glad that you got to see the grands even if it was for just a few minutes. Aliza is here with us tonight. She spent while her mom and her aunts spend some time together. I think that they are trying to cheer Melissa up since she has separated. It was nice for them to all get together.
DD, This month does seem like it taking forever to be over with. I guess it is just a long month. I just took my Christmas things down and really wish that I did not do that. It makes the house look so depressing. I was looking at the pictures that you posted of the girls doing laundry. Can you imagine having to do that. Especially in the cold weather. Those were really hard times for women.
I love the flowers that you got Adele and the edible bouquet. That is really nice.
Hope everyone has a good night and stay safe.

Hi All,
It is snowing here. It snowed all day and all night so far. Gail I bet you are getting snow there also. It is really pretty I love snow. My daughters dog is really small and he looks so funny going out in the snow. He does not like it when he has to go out I guess it is too cold.
I hope everyone is doing okay and your weather is not too bad.
That is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi All,
I do not know how often I will be able to get on here. We have been having trouble with the internet. We had to get another broad ban box so we would have enough for the kids to do their schooling. It is really a mess. We had the one and the minutes or gig a bites were used so fast so now we have a second one and it is getting expensive. If this doesn’t work we will have to get another one so we all have our own. I do not stay on as long because I do not want to use much of the time we have on here.
Adele I like your floor. It is really nice. I like the sweets you made looked really good also. DD I hope that your rain stops really soon. That is a lot of rain. They say that we are supposed to get some snow this week we will see.
Gail it is hard to find good shows to watch right now. We just watch the old shows that were on years ago. We are careful of what we watch because of the kids being here. It is funny Kaylee and I like some of the same shows. We watch all the Aurora Teagarden and the masked dancer. We both like to say what we think of the dancers we do like most of the dancers on there.
Well that is all from here. Gail and DD thank you for posting all the memes and the pretty pictures. They really bring a smile to our faces.
Have a great day and stay safe.
Colleen
