Let's Have a Look-See

 I had a good week until the it came to the end. I had been to the Urologist for my annual visit as they are giving me Hormone Therapy to control UTI's.. I go in and they do labs and they renew my prescription. On Wednesday something happened and I thought, "I wonder if I have a UTI?"  By Thursday, I knew I had one and on Friday I woke up with a fever and I was shaking like crazy. I checked my labs online and they weren't posted so I sent a message.  Now, I was having my quilt group over the next day and I knew I need some antibiotics if I had a chance of being able to host 10 women in my home for lunch and show and tell. The doctors office closes at 12:00 on Fridays. It was 12:15 and was sitting here wondering what my options were. I could go to Urgent Care, which I always regret, or I could call my doctor and they would probably get me in, but I didn't feel like I could drive. A rock and hard place, a silent prayer. Two minutes later I got the call from my docto...

I enjoy looking for beauty in the world. It's hard in the Winter, but the sky does not disappoint.  Here are a few from Nevada last week.  I must admit that I felt like a better person after being in warm weather, even if it was only for a day.  I personally enjoy driving through Nevada and seeing many of God's creations.  Then the storms came. I feel like most of the West received some much needed snow. We did not get a lot of moisture here but am grateful for the mountain snow.  It's been a hard week with the avalanche in Northern California and the news of Cancer in the father of a young family in our community. Life can be shorter than we plan. We all need a plan to carry us through.  God is good.... Look for beauty.... Stay warm...

We went to Vegas.  Guess what?  It was warm. Have mercy on my soul, I need to be a Snow bird.  We went to Donny Osmond's show. I'm not a huge fan, but I knew the show would be clean and entertaining. It was. We fit in perfectly. My first thought was, 'I had no idea that he had 65 albums and is working on a new one.' Across the table from us was a 75 year old woman and her daughter in law from Stockton California. Wes and the daughter in law left to get beverages and this woman said to me, 'I need to talk to you.'. She proceeded to tell me about the death of her daughter on December 24. Completely out of the blue. She then shared her greif with me. We talked about how much it hurts, every night.  She didn't cry, but I did. I'm grateful that she could share, and it's happened before, but I'm always surprised.  We had our own loss this week. Wes's nephew passed away after a long battle with Cancer. Brian Hall...he has str...

The weather has been so very nice and I've had some good walks. I've run into Sandy, which is always a joy, a couple of times.  Things are calmer, but there is always the underlying crazy going on. I continue to keep busy and avoid too much screen time. I need to work on my cookbook.  We went to see Betty. She is a happy little thing and loves to play.   I did pick up a few things for her. It's always fun to shop for a baby.  Hopefully it will be a peaceful week. The Olympics are on and the athletes are not only talented but inspiring.  Enjoy the day.... God hears and answers prayers...  Temples are a place of peace....

Guess what? It's supposed to be in the 50's this week. I walked outside a couple of times this week. It was cold enough to make my face cold for a while but I do like it better than the Rec.  I always like to see the sun coming through the clouds. It's like heaven looking down on you.  It was a calmer week, but I'm still keeping busy to stay away from social media. Reading, sewing, lunching and cleaning.  Good bye January.... Hello longer days....

 It's been another week of political and inhumane terror. See, I feel that when the United States of America makes enemies with NATO, it pure terror. And the killing of another man in Minnesota by ICE agents is terrifying. When will this stop? I'm not a Republican, I never have been. I'm not a Democrat now, I was one at one time. I believe that both parties are broken. Let's be honest, I have not voted for a Republican presidential candidate for a long, long time....maybe never. I did not vote for Mitt Romney, because I am an Obama lover. I believe in helping others, even those who do not contribute to the economy. I believe in a woman's choice, even if it's not a choice I would make. I believe that people come before the almighty dollar. What is going on right now is breaking my heart.   As I sat in my house this morning, I thought about going to church with people who are Republicans, who watch Fox News, who support a President who I can only relate to as Sata...
