Soggy, damp and chilled is NO way to go through life...

Good Morning Everyone!
It has been a while since I have blogged.
The dreaded "blogstipation" and all else...
That, and the fact that I do not trust Yahoo anymore.
Kind of a depressing thought...
Wish other sites worked a bit better too.
Seems none are too 'dial~up' friendly. But there are no other options out here for me unless I win the lotto! hehehe Oh well.

I have my mower deck on the Cub Cadet!!!
Many thanks to friends John, and his daughter Brandy, who came and changed out the snowplow for the mower. They had also put the snowplow on last Fall.
Me? I am not taking any chances with this back of mine.

John and Brandy Pryes...

I am not even sure how long it took them. They came as we were leaving last Friday to get the shot for my head. When we got back home they were gone, and the deck was on.
I am thinking that I will be using this deck fairly soon too.
I have places that the grass is easily about 6" high, and other places that there is but ½" of new growth.
I will have to level that out.
Mother Nature will help me out with this soon.

We got that snow yesterday. It didn't stick around for long.
But I woke this morning to frost on the cars.
It is currently about 31°...
(Good grief, would the real Spring please stand up)?
At least the sun is out?!? 

I want to get the garden tilled out too. Maybe tomorrow morning I can get to that. That is, if the old Simplicity tractor will run for me. hehehe I shall fight with that one today and get it ready to till yet another season. Failing that, I will make a phone call or two...

Speaking of good friends.

Meet Laurie Laurent.
.
.
Laurie, Roberta, and Jill.
(Picture taken at Farrs Grove back when I shot darts).

.

Laurie and I go back to Junior High at BayPort. (7th grade to be exact).
We were fast friends back then, and have remained close friends throughout the decades that have followed too.

She is Baby Mariahs grandmother...
(Have you sent out that birthday card for Miss Mariah yet)?
CLICK HERE for details.

Laurie is Seans mother as well. Sean is my godson.

Sean has emailed me and has asked that I write to him.
Serving us all from his place in the United States Military, he is now on his way to Iraq.
He has added NOT to write until mid~May. Guess that will be when they all get settled enough to receive mail.
As with everything here, I am going to go one step further and
ask that you write to him also.
His address:

PV2 KLEIN, SEAN
13CSSB/20TH QUARTERMASTER
APO-AE 09391

. Remember, not til Mid-May


Please keep our young man in your hearts, your thoughts, and your prayers. (And please forward his address to those that you think might write to him, or maybe even send a cookie or two)!

.

Special thanks to Connie~Beep for the above prayer.

.

My computer is acting up bigtime.
Yahoo has asked me repeatedly to sign back into its mail, but will not bring up the verify screen either. Grrrr....
I'd better close before it decides to not post this entry.
And then it will be time for a reboot.
(Methinks it's time for Yahoo to reboot).

I hope you are having a grand week, and that it is warm at least where YOU are.

Love to all.

XOXO
Anne
