(((HUGS))), back to you!!

God showed me a long time ago that my children were when they were!!!

I know you know what I mean, God places parents where they need to be, if they are believers, in particular situations, and He has placed me just where I need to be!!

I never question the authority of God!!

Me 2 ... bet y’all have been as
cold as me .. it was -22 when
I went to Mass yesterday. That’s
the coldest I’ve ever been in
my life! Winds gusting over
40mph .. my fingers felt like
they were getting frostbitten,
through my gloves.

I sure hope you’re warmer .. getting
more snow tonight and tomorrow ..
UGH! Spring .. please come, spring.

It has not been as cold here..
But we have almost 100 inches of snow!
*sigh*
Pretty darn chilly tonite though..
It’s about 2 above right now..
If this keeps up, I’ll have to take a second job just to pay for heating oil!

Nah.....life insurance pay out and a new life.

The guy went up there alone, his girl friend was in Kona. All that was necessary was a pick up, a few hours before calling in a missing person and a search.

Jinxy, you've been here. Pick up the guy, drive down Saddle Road and drop him at Kona air port. Hour and a half....two maybe.
