I’m so sorry he’s not doing well...and won’t use his walker. I’m sure it keeps you and your mom hoppin’ to keep an eye on him.

I hope things calm down soon for you.

That’s got to be a headache for you Kathy.

With ObamaCare, ObamaEconomics, ObamaTaxes and Maxine Waters explaining it all... it can be quite confusing.

It’s good they have you to explain the real numbers.

Nope, no spring...but a nice day here and there...makes me feel tempted to plant a seed or two, but I don’t. More snow days and nights, but most of the snow is not really sticking now.

It is 36 degrees right now....another thaw. The snow is gone from the trees again, but they say more snow is coming. We will see.

I think you are wise to wait. Mother Nature has been quite unpredictable this year.
