Good Sunday Morning Everyone!

Good morning everyone. Today is Sunday and another week has gone bye again.

A few things happened this week, First, lets wish Jason (Amy's husband) a Happy Birthday. His birthday was Friday the 22ed. Diane and Michael had a small dinner and cake for him, and then they all sat around and watched some movies. You could not do much because it was snowing out and the roads were horrible, so the kids ended up staying over that night.

As I said, the roads were horrible and driving was bad all day long. I slid twice on the way home. Once on gunhouse hill on the Oneonta side, which also happens to be the winding side of the hill and the steepest side, and then when I got in to Oneonta on southside by quickway. Some one stopped quickly 2 cars in front of me and I just slid to a stop with my heart beating like a drum in a quick beat. I hope everyone got home safely that day, I know I finally did after I picked up some things from Wal*Mart.

Everyone is doing well here. Nothing really to report. I did get my tickets to Florida this week and can not wait to get to the warm weather. Ron and Jenny are looking forward to me coming down and spending some time together. I am looking forward to relaxing and being able to get out and walk in the warm weather. To be able to get away from NY and experience new things just excites me. I have also booked a flight for June/July, over the 4th of July week. This is just before Jenny's birthday and I am looking forward to spending some time and celebrating her birthday early with her and Ron. I also look forward to seeing all the birds, Mojo and Shilo the dogs. I am counting down the days until I fly out and am Florida bound. It seems everyone at work is planning a trip somewhere. I know of 3 of us who are flying somewhere. 2 to Florida and one to AZ. We all are looking forward to getting out of the Northeast to somewhere warm and it just happens to be that all of us are the older workers in the building too.

I can not wait until spring gets here and the flowers start to come up and the trees start to get their leaves. Once the flowers start breaking through the dirt to the surface, then I know spring is just around the corner and the warm weather will finally start to move in to place. As usual, we will probably be complaining about the warm/hot weather when summer gets here. If spring holds true to form, I bet it will be about 3-4 weeks before the flowers start to come up. HURRY SPRING, we are all waiting for you.

I am working on Davids baby quilt and it is coming along pretty well. I can not wait until I can give it to him, it has been 3 1/2 years late. I know he will like it. As soon as I am done with this blanket, I need to start the afghan for Amy's baby. She is due on May 11th and I need to try to get it done before the baby comes, wish me luck.

The California races for this weekend are a little behind. It has been raining there for the past few days and now they are going to try to do the Sprint cup race and the Nationwide race today. That should be very interesting considering that there are a few drivers doing double duty this weekend and it will be 800 miles total for those guys.

Looks to be snow this Tuesday. The storm that is in CA right now is forecast to be in the Northeast by Tuesday or so. Here it comes again?

I talked with the College this week to find out when my project will be graded so I can take my final semester exams. They are telling me that it could take another 2 weeks before it is graded. Please say an extra prayer that they get it graded soon so I can take the semester exam and graduate. The waiting is just horrible. As most of you know, I am not a very patient person.

I am going to let everyone go for now. I wish everyone safe travel. Please stay healthy and safe.

Love to all and as always, you all remain in my thoughts and prayers.

DAYTONA!

The race season has finally started! With the duels over, and Jr. winning the Shoot Out and the first of the Duels, which allowed him to start 3rd in the 500, today’s race should be great. It will be a great season if he can keep it up. Go Jr.!

This has been a very interesting week. As I told you all a week ago, I was not feeling too well. It went down hill until I went to the Dr. on Monday. I was diagnosed as being on the verge of Bronchial Pneumonia. Antibiotics were the prescription. After a week on the Z-pak, I do feel a lot better. Still some rattling, but I am much better. I did return to work on Wednesday and have felt better with every day I got up and moved. Thanks to all who kept me in their prayers.

I really cannot say much else has happened all week long. A lot of resting after work, and not much else.

I am going to let everyone go for this week. I wish everyone a very safe, happy and healthy week and I will, as always, keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love to all.

Another snowy weekend

Good luck to Dale Jr at the Daytona 500!

Here it is again, snowing. I am so looking forward to spring and the warmer weather! The one good thing being stuck in doors is, NASCAR has started. I am so enjoying watching the drivers get back on the track again. I am excited about the up coming season. If the Shootout practice last night is any indication of what this season will be like, it should be good!



Nothing much is really happening up here. I am home working on David's baby blanket, the one I was suppose to have made for him before he was born, that was almost 4 years ago. With school, so much as been put off. The blanket is coming along very well, and the fact it is fun and relaxing, is an added bonus.



I am still waiting on my final grade for the last class. As soon as that is posted, I can take my semester finals. I wish the school would hurry up, I want to get this over with. Thanks again to everyone that has said that extra prayer for me and encouraged me to continue when I was so fustrated with one class or another. Your confidence in me was overwhelming and appreciated.



I am a little under the weather this weekend. I woke up with a sore throat and body aches to beat the band. Everyone at work is either getting over being sick or just getting it. I really do not wish anyone this illness. A little liquid tylenol for cough and sore throat, some halls, and puffs with vicks in it, seems to be the ticket. I am planning to stay in all weekend, work on my blanket, watch Nascar on Speed, along with the Shootout tonight, and wrap the weekend up with the time trials for the Daytona 5oo tomorrow at 1pm.



I am going to cut this short, I am a bit tired and want to lie back work on my blanket.



As always, you all remain in my heart and thoughts. I will always keep you in my prayers too. Please stay happy, healthy and safe.



Love to all.

Super Bowl Weekend!

We are at Super Bowl weekend. In just one week the Shootout begins! What does that mean? It means that the NASCAR Season starts finally! It has been a long time coming and I anticipate a great season this year, especially since Jr. will be with his new ride, Hendrick. First it will be the shootout next week, then the twins on the 14, followed by the Daytona 5oo on Sunday the 17th. Go Jr!!!

Things have been interesting here over the past 36 hrs. We have had rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, you name it we had it. Everything is covered with Ice, which is just starting to melt since it is 34 degrees. The walking path is still slippery, but time should take care of that.

My week has been very uneventful! The only thing that has been good is that I passed my accounting class and am now waiting for my final grade from the system anaylsis class, I wish it did not take so long. Once I get the grade for that class, I can take my semester finals. Thanks to all of you who said an extra prayer for me, it really helped.

I spoke with Amy yesterday, she is now 6 months along and the baby is due on May 11. Her grandmother is having a shower for her dads side of the family in March and Diane is having a shower for her in April for everyone else. Her and Jason bought a monitor at Wal*Mart to hear the babies heart beat and they listen to it every night. The baby is kicking up a storm too. She said the the baby (a girl) is moving all the time. They are both getting so excited.

I hope everyone who is traveling tomorrow to spend time with friends during the game stay safe during the travels. Everyone enjoy the game, it looks to be fun and exciting.

A special Happy Birthday to Ron. Wish I was there to celebrate it with you and Jenny!

I send my love to all and wish everyone well.

As always you all remain in my thoughts and prayers. Be Safe.
