MONDAY MEANDERINGS

Good Monday Mornin' Yall,

I do hope everyone had a Blessed Sunday and ready to start a new day. It is currently 27 degrees with a windchill of 23 degrees. The winds are currently blowing at 4 mph. It sure was a chilly day here yesterday. It started out Sunny, then it clouded up and was cloudy for most of the day, and then cleared back up late yesterday afternoon. They are predicting a high of 48 degrees here today.

Before I start rambling on about my daily things, I want to ask for prayers for my Family. I had an Aunt that lived in Mississippi that died around 3:30p.m. yesterday. She had been diagnosed with Cancer back sometime last year. She was 80 something years old. My Mom had told me on Friday that Hospice said my Aunt had anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks to live. My Cousin called my Mom yesterday afternoon around 4:30p.m. and told her that my Aunt had died. This is my Dad's oldest brother's wife. I'm not sure when they are going to have the Funeral. Her Son, my Cousin, who lives out in Las Vegas, has to be contacted. I think they were going to do that yesterday afternoon. Anyway, I would just like for yall to remember us in this time of sorrow. Your prayers will be more than appreciated.

Yesterday was a fairly good day around here. I did 3 loads of laundry. It seems like I'm doing laundry every day or every other day. But, I guess with 2 girls, this is to be expected. The girls cleaned their rooms up yesterday afternoon as well. They also took out all the trash because today is Trash Pick-Up here where we live at. They also helped me by getting things out of the dryer for me to fold up. They have come along way in helping me around the house. I know I sure do appreciate it alot. I didn't do any cooking yesterday. I was still tired from Saturday's activities, so we just snacked around all afternoon and last night as well. I think I may cook some Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup for our Supper tonight. I took a package of Chicken Breast out of the freezer last night and put it in the Refrigerator to thaw. I know it will sure taste good on a cold day like today is going to be.

I received some wonderful Awards yesterday. Deena@CanIBePrettyInPink awarded me with the Awards.

"THANK YOU" so much Deena for these wonderful Awards. I feel so honored that you chose me to pass them on to. If yall have never been over to visit Deena, please go and visit her. She is such a sweet and wonderful lady and you will be Blessed by her.

Our oldest daughter's Basketball Coach called me late yesterday afternoon. Our oldest daughter's first game will be this coming Wednesday night at 6:00p.m. at Armorel, AR. They will be playing BIC or Monette as I've stated in previous post's. If you will remember, this was the team that we first played here at home and they kicked and hit on our girls. When we played them right before Christmas, they didn't do any of that stuff, but afterwards, some of the BIC parents and the Coach almost got into a fight. Riverside (which is our School) and BIC has been long time Rivals in Sports. But hopefully, we will be able to beat them again. We beat them both times we played them before. Our girls are having practice tonight at 7:00p.m. here at our Gym. I do hope they win this Tournament. So, keep you finger's crossed and say prayers for them.

I would also like to mention that BJ@SweetNothings is going into the Hospital this morning for some surgery. I'm not sure what kind of surgery it is, but I only found out about it yesterday when I was visiting her. She lives in Texas and has to be at the Hospital this morning around 6:00a.m. If you don't mind, please go by and visit BJ, and let her know you are thinking of her and saying a prayer for her. "THANK YOU" in advance for doing this.

My DH called me last night around 8:50p.m. to let me know they were almost out of Nebraska fixing to go into Wyoming. He usually calls me before he gets into Wyoming because there are alot of "Dead Zone" areas there and he can't call me. He will call me this morning before he stops driving. They have to be at the place in Salt Lake City around 7:00a.m. their time. We are on Central Standard Time here, so I think Salt Lake City may be on Mountain Time. Then, I think DH said they have to be down in Las Vegas around 4:00p.m Vegas time. I do know Las Vegas is 2 hours behind us. From Las Vegas they will come back on Interstate 40 going back to Memphis, TN. They will pick up again in Memphis and go to Green Bay, WI, and from there somewhere in Minnesota and back to Memphis again and then home. This is their Dedicated Run that they will be doing most of the time. Like their Driver Manager told them, they may have to make a run to Canada on occasion when someone else couldn't.

Well, guess I'll go for now. I think I will go knock on a few doors and see who is up and who isn't. So, if you hear a knock on your door, you know it's me coming by for coffee. LOL. Take care my friends and have a great Monday. May God Bless You and Yours.

LOVE & HUGS,
