ShannyBananny @Marilynda1225 it must be how the sun lands with the mountains around but my yard I can see a lot of grass and across the street they have a foot or more of snow still. Raining today I’m hoping it washes it all away

The flu hit our house last Saturday. My husband and my little one came down with it about a day apart. She got hit the hardest. I came down with it a few days ago but didn’t get hit hard and am already feeling much better....

ShannyBananny @noni1959 I am reading Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline. I’m only a few chapters in but I like it. The Goodread challenge sounds interesting! Two a month or so that would equal. Do you think you’ll read much more than the 25?

ShannyBananny @toniganzon aww sometimes it helps to vent though but I understand because I know as much as I’ve vented in the last it’s likely to have annoyed people. You are welcome to private message me if you need someone to talk to privately.

ShannyBananny @DianneN I try to stay out of politics completely people get so nasty and I never know what is true to believe. So sweet of your husband to try to talk some sense into him. Better not to waste his breathe it sounds like.

ShannyBananny @DianneN we definitely would have been here to vent to but I can understand why you may have bottled up about it. I am sure everyone else is just as happy as I am that you are back here!

ShannyBananny @moffittjc I’ve never had pneumonia. I’m recovering from having the flu. I got hit with it the 14th and still feel tired easily. I can’t even imagine how much worse it must be to get pneumonia.
