I survived!

The snow storm is over and everyone

survived it.  I had to get the shovel

out because the snowblower is so

temperamental.  My shoulder

isn't happy.  It's been very chaotic

here. My dad had to drive my mom

to  hospital in the storm.  They think

she's been  having "mini strokes" also

known as TIA's.  Which aren't "real"

strokes in the sense that they don't

cause brain damage, but can be

a precursor.  For some reason they

are keeping an eye on her heart as

well.  Dementia has also been

mentioned.  Good luck getting her

anywhere for an evaluation.  My dad

spent the night so he wouldn't

have to drive all the way back home.

So we had a nice evening.  I don't know

if she will be coming home today or not.

Then there was a minor issue

with the car which I think has been

resolved.  Hopefully.

All that to say that I didn't really

get to making any cards.  So here is

one I made last night which I'm

super happy with.

I finally got to use one of the

dragonflies I had cut.    I need to

make one more for Dianne to give

to her friend and I'm also planning

on making a nice box to put them

in.

 

It occurred to me the other day that

as much as I don't like winter, cold

and snow (and everyone knows that!),

it is the same as the end of our lives.

We die and then are reborn into a

beautiful place.  Like the trees, grass,

etc., die and are reborn in the spring.

I am not saying I like winter any more 

than I ever did.  It's just an observation!

 

 

Happy Tuesday!
