Today my son had an appointment we did not want to miss. The appointment was about 14 miles away. Easy-peasy, right? But the roads aren't good...his appointment was at 9 AM. We left at 7:20 AM. I was nervous about getting him...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck We honestly need every bit of moisture that nature will be sending us right now. 2025 was very dry here--dangerously so. It was the driest year on record! So anything we get now will help farm crops and waterways, etc.

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck He can just stay there and his worshippers can go to him instead. Yep, we can hope this happens!

Winter brings snow here, so of course I am used to it. This was an intense storm. We were not supposed to get what we did for snow totals--some say we got 8 inches, some 9 inches, some 10. I did the yardstick thing off the front...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck It's still winter time. It's already February, surely the time will pass quickly and we will all be enjoying Spring before too long. I hope, anyway!

I haven't been here much for 3-4 days. My son did have a very tiny apartment not far from me. Circumstances change, of course, and for now, he lives with me. There just isn't another option, and when he didn't, I was over there...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I suppose a person could bury it with the body when someone dies, but that wouldn't work, someone would dig to get the money. It just won't work to take it with you in the end!

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck Well, you have heard many of us here complaining about this long, long cold spell, often below zero and windy. My son, who is rarely cold, has several times asked for the space heater to be on him. It seemed to help, he said. If it works, yay!

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck Dad said after he came back from Korea he thought he would sleep for a week as he was so tired. And then that's when it became difficult for him to sleep well.
