The West Corner of the World

It is a winter wonderland again, again, I say!

Snow this morning, Sunday, In Montesano

I can’t quite believe it, but oh, yes I do…when I went walking with Aimee yesterday, it was a mix of snow & rain…today, just snow:)

Snow days:)

Oh Yes My Friend, Snow Happens

This is beautiful really, I do love how the snow makes everything white, clean & really, breathtakingly lovely.  In my younger days, it meant, heading over to a friends’ house, usually Allison’s & maybe some sledding.  It hardly ever meant a day off school, seemed like those school buses could make it through anything!  I do remember when we lived in Glendale, OR, & we were often snowed in.  My step dad showed us how to start a fire in the snow if we were ever lost or stranded…funny the things you remember.  I remember my pup, Snoopy, taking a leap off the front porch & going down so deep in the snow that you could barely see him!

Jim is still recovering wonderfully!  His blood sugar continues to be “normal”!!! Oh, how glorious!  He has shed about 12-13 lbs & is feeling great.  Tomorrow he will start driving again..yea!!

Mom’s working her morning crossword puzzle, I help once in awhile by looking up a clue online:)  I  am useful for something, (I  say smiling:)

Take a good look at God’s wonders – they’ll take your breath away.

Jim with his morning coffee(in the mug Cathy sent, it has a chicken holding a sign that says, "Get Well, Eat Veggie Soup"

Well the patient is on the mend….he is feeling very good, & enjoying his morning coffee….here is the balloon that came with the mug..

the balloon that came with the mug(Tanner wants this!)

Anyway, Jim is doing very well, he can’t drive for another week(that is what he is looking forward to, driving again)…it’s been two weeks today that he was discharged from the hospital.  Tomorrow we go to see his cardiologist, I’m sure he will tell us everything is going well…

Mom goes to see the eye doc tomorrow as well, to get her perscription for reading glasses…these two keep me running!  Here she is playing with the new shredder she ordered(she likes gadgets:)…

Mom with the new shredder...

We woke up this morning to snow on the ground & about29 degrees out!  It’s warmed up already & the snow is mostly gone..I should have taken a picture for you, but I was just enjoying looking at it in the early morning quietness..

Since Jim can’t lift yet, I’m busy keeping the Mama in wood for the woodstove, chopping kindling & all the other things that require lifting:)  I’m building muscles(I hope), between that & keeping up with Jim’s exercise routine, we should both be in pretty good shape by the end of the summer!  Anyway, that’s the saga for the West clan for this week!  I’ll quit rambling…til next week…bye……
