Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
My daughter just called me a few minutes ago to tell me about the snow in Denver. We have typical rain showers in our area.
It’s supposed to be clearing up by Thursday. I surely hope this weekend will be okay, because we are burying mom’s ashes in our family plot.
Ouch! Hope that your son in law heals as quickly as possible.
That’s completely correct! We have no control over the weather. So sorry that you had awful weather at your dad’s funeral.
Couples have gone through this too, on their wedding day. I feel sorry for brides and grooms that have awful weather on their special day.
As for my wedding, we had a gorgeous warm spring day for our wedding day in New Orleans. We had planned our honeymoon for a week after ski season was over in Colorado. We flew into Denver and it was lovely, but when we were driving to Vail, we got caught in the worst snow blizzard ever!!!
I am sure that I don’t have to tell you that we didn’t have any experience driving in a snow blizzard, so it was absolutely terrifying for us! LOL Geeeez, snow is extremely rare in Louisiana and even just a few flurries causes quite a commotion here. People don’t know how to drive in it and businesses and schools close.
All in all though, our honeymoon was special, we were young and in love and nothing was going to stop us from having a lovely honeymoon!
We saw Vail, Estes Park, Colorado Springs and Denver. It was beautiful! We had been to the Smokey mountains but not the Rockies and we were in awe of their beauty.
It snowed in Missouri a couple of weeks ago,right after I put up my Winter coats.
Had to get 'em right back out~
We lost alot of flowers and tomatoes too.
Though a bit disappointed in pricing. When I first started streaming 2.5 years ago, New house did not want a dish. Price for youtube tv was only $45.00 a month compared to $120.00 for Dish or Directv. It is now up to $65.00 a month, gradual increases as they add channels.
NHWM, we have had so much rain and snow this year, 8 some inches so far. All of 2020 we had a total of 8 some inches! We need it so badly, drought in this area for years.
My daughter’s husky absolutely loves the snow! He gets very excited in the cold weather.

Looks like all of the rain has blown through and the weather should be fine at the cemetery this weekend for mom’s burial.
My cousin immediately does what he always does. He says, “No one told me it was just family and I already invited them, so I won’t go to the service!” This is my cousin that my mom and dad raised from a young boy. Of course, we want him there, so I said, “ Just do whatever you want to do.”
The reason that I am upset is because my brother who had mom for the last 14 months of her life is not going to be happy about extra people that we don’t even know being there. My mom wasn’t close to them. My cousin has lived in another state since graduating from college. These are people from his college days.
My brother has a long history of heart disease and hasn’t been vaccinated and I hate that these extra people are coming because my cousin wants to make a big production of my mom’s service. He is making it about him instead of my mom and our family.
Why can’t anything stay simple, especially at a time like this? My cousin has no clue how hard caregiving has been for my brother and I, plus the last amount of time with her in hospice. We just wanted a quiet, private, peaceful goodbye at her graveside service.
Sorry, I just needed to get this frustration off of my chest. My husband isn’t happy with my cousin right now. I don’t know if I should give my brother a heads up about the extra people coming or not.
Once again, I am placed in the middle and will be looked at as the bad guy when he sprung this on me about the extra people! Grrrrrrr...
The Cousin! Sheesh!! What's so hard to understand about 'family only'? Whether told before or now.. no matter, HE decided to invite extra people - HE can UNinvite those extra people! If he feels a bit silly, oh well.
My cousin is a bit self centered!
Taxes are ready to mail now, what a relief.
