Mornin’ everyone!

Busy, busy. Where does the time go? LOL

Everyone on the east coast—take care. Looks like it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better, weatherwise. 70 here—course it’s raining like a hurricane and the wind is picking up. :)

Northeasterner that is me!! We had ice this morning in the beautiful Hudson Valley, and I will skip the gym and go straight home...supposed to be the worse tonight. No effort to skip the gym!! LOL

Thanks for the heads up and enjoy the 70 degree weather!

God Bless...

I Choose the Mountain
 
  The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer

The massive mountain makes its move
Beckoning me to ascend
A much more difficult part
To get up the slippery bend

I cannot choose both
I have a choice to make
I must be wise
This will determine my fate

I choose, I choose the mountain
With all its stress and strain
Because only by climbing
Can I rise above the plane

I choose the mountain
And I will never stop climbing
I choose the mountain
And I shall forever be ascending

I choose the mountain

I was watching the radar this am. Did you see all the snow in La/MS? Better them than me! LOL OTOH, if we get snow, it usually comes up from GA and meets a nor’easter.

It’s The Old Man of the Mountain in New Hampshire, a natural formation. Despite heroic efforts, it fell several years ago and only appears in photos now.

Couldn't we just tell the police that we were trying to keep up with the music? Could being blonde help a little? LOL~~~You may keep this small gif. because you like them so well.

Our whole family (10 of us) went to a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert last year. FANTASTIC!!!

I often have “Lost Christmas Eve” playing in the background.

Thanks for the music, GeeBee.

Thanks much for this beautiful picture. Austria was where our unit did post-war occupation. Not exactly an appropriate image but we had a beer hall in the Sound of Music castle.

God Bless

Yes! Hawthorne wrote a wonderful short story about The Great Stone Face, The Old Man of the Mountain! I forgot about that, have to find and read it again.

Meg, that is so sweet! Thats the kind I have here!

Its been raining all day and I don’t want to go out but I have to, to get a gift for Red Hats tomorrow. I am only hoping I will be able to go. I have tried to rest today but have so much to do. Maybe tomorrow I will feel a little better.

Hope you are having a good day!
