Windy Monday...

Today was a "sick" day for me. I woke up this morning and as I started to get ready for work, it just did not want to deal with it. So I took a sick day. I had lunch with Mom and Allyssa (since school was out due to the President's Day holiday, and then I came home and have done NOTHING except play around in my journal. My brother Wayne texted me with a copy of a book asking of that is the kind of book I have been looking for. (I have been looking for hard-back approx. 200 page, books to make altered books from.) I said yes. He and Tina were at the Greenville Habitat for Humanity Store on Rutherford Road and found some that he was going to pick up for me. Sweet! Mom and Allyssa were going to see little Miss Mary (Hudson) from church who is in a nursing home right now for rehabilation. Miss Mary loves Allyssa and Allyssa loves to go visit her. Allyssa has enjoyed going to nursing homes since she was around 3 years old.

The wind of blowing something fierce outside. I am waiting on the roof of the house to blow right off. I can imagine how two of the Three Little Pigs felt when the big bad wolf was blowing down their houses! But the sun has been shining all day and the temperature has been comfortable. So that is a very good thing. I am waiting on spring!

A Beautiful Day!!!

Aren't these little turtles the cutest things! I woke up at 7:30 this morning with the sound of the birds chirping...was it because I get up so early during the week to head to work or was it because SPRING IS AROUND THE CORNER!!!!! I opt for the later. I had the most wonderful walk, just me and my camera. I saw the first robin, obviously because I have not been paying attention lately. I think they are around our area all the time. I seen 2 red-headed woodpeckers, several back-capped chicadees, red cardinals, blue jays, blue birds, mockingbirds, wrens, squirrels. It was great! The air was so fresh....well as fresh as it can be with all the pollution, etc.! I watched the sun come up over the house across the street. We really don't know the peacefulness we miss when we don't get up and get out before alot of people WAKE UP and get moving. I seen an older man outside wiping his truck down with some cleaner and a cloth, one just walking in his yard. Nice........
Had lunch with Nick yesterday. It was so nice to see him, since we don't see him often enough. He got a truck yesterday, Toyota Tacoma. He is happy. Natasha has a weekend with no children, she is happy. I think we are happy right now! Well, will try to post more later. Nick is bring me a dog kennel so I can make the one I have bigger for Hanzo. Woo-Hoo, as soon as the night weather warms up a bit and I can trust him to stay in the kennel while we are not here, OUT HE GOES. I can deal with Miss Kitty in the house, she don't care if you are here or not, but Hanzo wants all the attention all the time! Off to lunch with Mom and a relaxing break at Atlanta Bread Company! ITS ALL GOOD!
