Rethinking January

January has been a blessed month for me as I've seen all my Children, Grandchildren and Parents during this cold time of year.  Holidays passed and the New Year rushed in.  I've woke each morning by my Husband's side and started the days out rejoicing that I am alive!

Celebrated the New Years with Daughter and Lil Miss with our first snow of the year!  With illness at Christmas time, my Oklahoma Family postponed coming to Kansasland and hit two birds with one stone as we celebrated Lil Miss's Birthday and opened Christmas gifts.  We had a blessed visit.  Also Hubby and I went to Saint Louis to visit our Son and Grandson.  Went to the Zoo and the weather was pleasant that day.

Christmas decorations have gone into hiding with snowmen coming out to play.  I came that close to leaving the Christmas Tree up and covering her with VALENTINE HEARTS.  That close faded.  Know it is for the best to make the tree disappear until next November.

Visions of decorating Home Haven haven't stopped...just relishing in the mist of waiting for the proper timing and know how to go about remodeling while living in amongst the mess.  Winter THINNING THROUGH clothing continued.  Thoughts of Spring are bubbling up in my mind as I finally accepted that Winter is truly here and we inch toward Spring weather with February approaching.  LORD LORD LET IT BE.

Thoughts of not liking Winter COLD has manifested.  I have to think that if the weather were pleasant all the time I'd probably not look forward to Spring as much.  SOOOOOO.....I'm looking forward to SPRING GREEN with the newness of flowers bursting forth and smiling on the landscape.  Last year, SPRING was early with the most beautiful Lilacs and Irises EVAH.  It was a long lasting Spring.  Marveling at the BEAUTY.  Gorgeous flowers...gorgeous memories. 

Last night, Hubby and I went on a DATE to one of our all time Favorite Restaurants, HARRY'S.  I had their Harry's Meatloaf served on mashed potatoes with gravy, barely cooked asparagus, and fresh bread with creamy butter.  Iced Tea during the meal and hot Coffee with cream for dessert.  I was a good girl and only ate half of the Meatloaf leaving the restaurant satisfied with a box.  We had a pleasant visit in a dolled up environment.  I always enjoy Harry's dark purple interior with chandeliers dangling from the decorated ceiling.  They had a tall candelabra with lit candles on a table centered in the main Dining room.  Requested our favorite booth to dine at.  The word ahhhhhhh comes to mind. 

Making memories while enjoying the present day experience is what it's about.

Thank you for stopping by today and visiting with me.
I love hearing from you,
