When spring arrives after the dead of winter, it is like a miracle! And now, autumn smells are definitely in the air and those awesome leaves are beginning to turn crimson and gold. I am sure that is what heaven looks like. Good for you for appreciating all that nature offers you where you live. I am embracing the seasons too.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-16048838312564914872009-09-20T20:58:38.771-06:002009-09-20T20:58:38.771-06:00Di, you are never late, your comments are so welco...Di, you are never late, your comments are so welcome whenever they arrive.

When you mentioned walking in the snow I was reminded of Ginny. She was here last year on the day of our first snow. It was beautiful and cold!! We were visiting the new Abe Lincoln statue in front of the Appellate court house taking pictures, laughing and freezing! It was a fun day. <br /> I am so happy about baby Lucy. And I do know first hand the relief her parents are feeling as I almost lost Ginny to spinal meningitis when she was one year old. They will have stories to tell Lucy!<br /> Also good that you can relax now and hopefully the neighbors son will get some help. Real help. Sorry that I am so late Bernie, we've been very busy!<br /> Love DiDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-74815475142912609602009-09-19T18:30:50.288-06:002009-09-19T18:30:50.288-06:00Oh, Bernie!

I cannot force someone to keep their word, I can only make sure I keep mine. I do hope he shows up today or at least calls me and arranges another time. I hate to see my verticals getting wrinkled as they lay on the basement floor waiting to put up.....only wish I could do this myself but I know I would end up with lots of holes in my wall and they wouldn't be straight.

Have all the machines going this morning, dishwasher, washer, dryer and vacuum but have the energy I need to use them. I enjoy a productive day as well. I need to get so many things done before my friends arrive on Oct 2. I want to put the bedroom screens in my bathtub and give them a good soaking as they are pretty dusty.<br />I am so pleased and happy for Lucy and her family. She is just a little doll and just seeing the smiles on their parents/grandparents faces lifts my spirts just as high.<br />My neigbours son is another problem that will take a long time to resolve but they seem very content in their decision and I do think it was the right one....drugs are very hard to beat and I pray their son will be willing to accept the help that he is now receiving....they are not convinced of this and I understand their feelings as they have tried to help him before, they just didn't realize how bad his problem was.....this young man needs a lot of help.

I could never tell someone I was going to do something and not show up or even call....I guess people are different but I refuse to let their actions ruin my day...life is just to precious to me.<br />Baby Lucy is beautiful and is so happy and content right now, I am so happy for her parents, they looked 5 years younger now that their worry has been lifted. I thank God every day for blessing this family by healing Lucy. Now my wonderful neighbours needs many prayers and their friends right now, I will always be there for them. My day was very soothing to me and renewed my spirt....Life is good right now.
