Both of these blogs will at least make you smile and give you a warm fuzzy feeling.
Check out my daughter's blog - it's filled with lots of love for Valentine's Day. She's the photographer of all the pictures you see. I think she's pretty good.
Go on over to Blackbird's blog to get your groove on this morning. I love moving and grooving with John Travolta.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Good News Minute
In my church's Sunday women's meeting, a minute is alloted to share good news. Since this is a group of young women between 18 and 30, the news usually is about going on a date, getting a new job, taking a trip somewhere, or a new niece or nephew being born.
Since my posting ideas are kind of stagnant right now, I'm borrowing the idea.
Some of my good news for the past month:
1. Unlike last winter when I had a back problem, fell on ice and got somewhat laid up for about a month, I've been accident free this winter...so far, anyway.
2. For the past 3 days, the temperatures been over 40 degrees and the sun's been out. Yay!
3. With only 3 people living in the house, the grocery bill has gone down.
4. I got a pedicure today. Love my red toenails!
5. A new season of "Survivor" has started.
6. My husband actually remembered that Valentine's Day is this week He seems to have some kind of plan that doesn't involve one of the kids running to the florist at the last minute because Valentine's Day wasn't on his radar. Kelly and Pat - I think you are off the hook this year!
7. Brother bought a new motorcycle helmet this week. I guess that means he's serious about coming west for a road trip this summer.
What's your good news?

A terrifying thought!
I had a comment on my previous post about the possibility of flooding due to a rapid thaw in the spring.
I just thought of something else. With the ground so wet and saturated, if we have a wet and rainy spring, along with a quick melt, could it be possible that the Nimbys entire back yard, pool and all, might end up in my family room!?!?

Too much of a good thing?
On December 1, 2007, I posted this picture. It was the very first significant snowfall of the season.

Randomocity...
I need to step up the blog posts a little. I've hardly had any comments lately. It's probably because people are tired of me bragging about my talkative two year old grandson, or reading about the Nimbys. That does get old, doesn't it? Since my life has been rather routine in the last month, I guess I just might have to make things up to get a few comments.
On a completely unrelated note....
Over a year ago, my oldest son was working for a local computer company. He was so excited to build us a new, state of the art computer. He got us all set up with the fastest, best, system including a wireless keyboard and 18" LCD monitor.
So why is it that the wireless keyboard quit working (yes, we replaced the batteries) and the LCD monitor developed a weird color problem? Today, I have the old school keyboard and monitor connected up to the computer. (I'm glad we kept them!) They work just fine.
Eventually, I'll probably take the new keyboard and monitor to the shop to find out what the problem is. But I'm in no hurry to be told that it will cost more to repair them and I should just purchase new ones. I'll just stick with the old school for now.
Final note...
Well, I'm off to vote in the Super Tuesday Primary. Our polling place was changed this year. It's at a funeral home. What kind of message is the county clerk's office trying to send the voters in my area? Maybe since I live in a predominantly Democratic district in a predominately Republican state, the clerk's office is hoping to scare away some of those liberal, no good Democrats. ; >)

Animal Sounds
Grandson, Aidan, and I are watching a commercial on television with a lion.
I ask my grandson: "What does a lion say?"
Grandson: "Roar"
Me: "What does a horse say?"
Grandson: "Neigh"
Me: "What does a cat say?"
Grandson: "Meow"
Since these are easy questions for him, I decided to ask him a little harder one.
Me: "What does Aidan say?"
He thinks for a minute and responds: "Talk, talk"
