HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday to me.  What color shall I use?  Oh yes, blue.  Not because I feel blue, far from that, but blue is my favorite color.  I have received many beautiful cards and words from my friends here on THE GOOD SHIP ST. CATHERINE. My what a lot of friends I have made.  And a wonderful family who have remembered me too.  My living room surfaces are full of beautiful cards.  The day is young, I may get more.  MY CUP is running over.  I have even gotten messages on  my computer!!  It makes me humble. what have I done to deserve all of this?  Love is FREE.  Just like God's grace.  You don't deserve it--it is freely given 

SO BE IT  Enjoy

ALL GONE

Snow has melted, just the memory remains.  Sometime memories are good.  This one is because it caused little trouble.  But we were ready for it. Parts of U.S. are not so lucky.  Really serious in much of the rest of the nation.  I can't imagine living there.  Just remember the heat in the South and many would not like to live here.  SO BE IT.

Tomorrow is my 92nd birthday.  I have already received many beautiful notes and cards from friends here.  Two others have the same one.  It was a good year !!!  I have already lived longer than any of my family I think.  What is the answer for longevity? If I knew--I would bottle it and sell it for a lot. I would not like to live in the condition many here do.  To be up and living as I do is truly a blessing.

LET IT SNOW

As I sat in the Bubble after going down to breakfast in the Cyber, I looked at the "snow."  Well it did snow enough to whiten the Meadow.  As usual, and I can not explain it, white gull- like birds were all over and some ducks were on the water too.  Every time it gets cold the gulls come. From where I do not know.  They were very pretty in the sun.  The little bit of snow is melting fast.  Well that is the kind to have. 

Slow day with nothing planned except Choir practice  at 2:30.  So I will do as I please and enjoy.

OOOPS

I made a mistake on my blog.  I said we had lunch at LITTLE MERMAID.   No. no. no !!! It was BONEFISH. There, I feel better.  Betty

LITTLE MERMAID

Have you had lunch at THE LITTE MERMAID? We did yesterday after Church.  It has been there a while on the Colony.  I haven't been there in a while. It was a little elegant and the food was great.  Amy and I had their signature-Bang, Bang, Shrimp with eggs benedict . Excellent .  It was a beautiful day.  But the weather people say that is about to change.  Snow expected tomorrow night.  Won't that be fine? 

I have missed PT this weekend.  Start back today.  Always a little rusty but I will look forward to it.  I do hope it is helping.  Can't see much change in my balance yet, but I have "high hopes."

SUNDAY SUNDAY

Let's see what this color is like.  Is it gold?  Hope so.  It looks like a "golden" day is coming over the Lake.  Enjoy it for they are promising snow coming.  Hey that would be something to enjoy.  They will scare it off with so much talking about it.  1-2 inches would be nice.  Or would it bring us to a fast stop?  What is wrong with that?  Win-Win. 

Jan, Tommy, Amy. Ed, and me all for lunch here in my Cyber Saturday.  Burgers, shrimp po- boys and grilled cheese, some FF's and some sweet potato fries and cole slaw for me and it was all good.  Especially the conversations and just to have them together  plus showing them off to all my friends was great.  Made me feel special.     Well off to get ready for Church and another bunch to eat lunch with.  Am I blessed?   I"ll sayI am.

SATURDAY

Sky is beautiful this morning.  Clouds almost the color of this script.  Now the sun has wiped away most of the purple.  Can't believe the weather folks are getting us excited about the possibility of snow (sprinkling)  Don't we love the thoughts of just a little.  It seems to me I remember as a child more snow.  A few really big ones.  The world is getting warmer.  I remember space heaters to warm our house, and standing there getting warm in the morning while my clothes hung on the back of a chair warming before I put them on. No wonder there was always the threat of fire starting.  My don't let me down Memory Lane this early in the morning.  So much was good about those days.  The hard and bad memory of them seems to fade when you remember that there was a lot of good about growing up then.  Those of you who have my book CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF LITTLE DOT , should hark back and read it again. 

Jan is coming this morning.  We need to catch up on some things.  Amy came yesterday for a short visit.  All good, good, good.  I will have to run and get started on the routine.
