snow...yes

weather man's forecast is good so far.
well, we got the rain,
then the ice,
now the snow.
and always...the wind.

no school tomorrow..
extends the Christmas break by 1/2 a day.

i chatted w/both parents this evening.
dad was microwaving up some supper.
mom said..." oh...i am so stuffed."
i said she didn't have to eat. 
: )

ever since she began having them
use the full body lift, she's had more energy.
sort of.
usually her attitude is good, 
just weary and always concerned about daddy.

sister bird and i toured the new care home.
it will be lovely...
whenever it's completed. 
mom's hoping to not move in.

on a different side of my kid's family tree
let me share these adorable photos 
of brown-eyed-handsome-mans early 
childhood. 

Christmas 1962

my beautiful mom-in-love with

their 4 sons. 

can u pick out my hubby?

Christmas 1962,

and my charming dad -in-love 

with the boys.

i love old family photos.

TUESDAY UPDATE:
aka daddy, momma was weighed.
she has lost 14 pounds since moving
to the care home.
i am surprised because she's been 
eating much better than she was at the farm.
that's 14 pounds in 3 weeks.
i've seen her eat and figured
she might be picking up weight.

okay, it is and it isn't puzzling
considering what her body is battling.


sigh...


SNOW REPORT;
 we have 4-6 inches
and daddy thinks he has around a foot.
it's hard to measure when it drifts and blows so.


we are all safe, warm and thankful for it.
