Hello, I'm here, my farewell,

 hehe, I'm already high, always the

 same, in this damn house, I'll sell 

it to you, and I'll move, let's see,

if it gives me a change of scenery,

 the better, May the night bring you the

 rest you need to be the best version of

 yourself tomorrow. Sweet dreams!

Warm hugs, Maria

Does that diminish my own experience, 

because someone else is having it worse? 

There is always someone with 

a worse life than yours. 

That doesn't make your life 

a road of roses.

January is coming to an end already!  Where did the month go?  

But what we have just been through could have been worse!  

Wendy, our daughter, in Bowie, Texas did not have this much but they got lots of snow!!!  

'Nuff said.  

But I do feel sorry for others like the animals and birds!  

LOVE each other!

"I will say that today is a beautiful day, 

not because of the weather or how beautiful 

the sky looks, but because it is a new day full 

of opportunities and a chance to start anew."

Today really is Wednesday!  There still isn't any school today and we haven't had mail since Friday!  

Even though we got to 39°, nothing melted on the neighborhood streets.  It was more slick Tuesday than it was Monday, my neighbor told me.  

She shared food with us and now her dishes are washed and ready to be refilled.  hehehe   

I need to get some flowers for her when spring gets here to say thank you for getting us through the winter.  

Not a single Snowman in our neighborhood as it would be blocks of ice!  Stay Warm!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

There is something beautiful about all scars,

whatever its nature.

A scar means the pain is over,

that the wound is closed and healed, that it is over.

I thought on this Wednesday, I would share some of the MANY faces of Pam!  

This is the Pam that I want to be and strive for MOST days!  

This is who I am MOST days!  

I have been know to be SASSY on occations!  

If I liked winter, this would be me!  Thanks Myriam!  

This is Rbt and I the last few days!  

Took this from the inside looking out.  Blinding and frozen solid!  We are up to 29° and while we might get above freezing tomorrow we have 7-10 more nights below freezing with a couple of nights just above to give us hope.  Clear skies mean we will be back down to around 15° tonight.  

The traveling side of the family!  They were in Seattle for 2 weeks during Christmas break.  

They left DFW on a delayed flight Friday evening just before flights started getting cancelled.  They had a long enough layover in Madrid, that they got to eat and site see before their next flight took off.  

They will be in Tel Aviv, Israel until the end of the week.  Here they are enjoying ice cream, walking the beach, riding scooters, and enjoying much warmer temperatures; at least until they get back to DFW.  My son is in his yearly meetings as his company is based in Israel.  

And update on Reba.  The remedies we are giving her are helping her!  She has been out the doggie door and back in on her own several times since 5:30 this morning.  She is drinking water but I haven't seen her eat dog food as it is always down for our 3 and both grand dogs.  Thank you for your love!
