Everything you learn becomes your wealth, 

an unmovable wealth; whether you learn it in 

a school or in life. Learning something new 

is an eternal pleasure and a valuable treasure. 

And not everything you learn is taught to you, 

but many things you realize you have learned yourself.

Lots of love

“My friends, love is better than anger.

Hope is better than fear.

Optimism is better than despair.

So let's be loving, hopeful

and optimists. And we will change the world.”

Bring it February!  We will have a couple of days in the 50's, a couple of days in the 60's and about 4 days in the 70's.  

I'm going to kiss that cold weather goodbye except for a couple of cold mornings!  

The bench will still be there waiting just in case you come back again.  But don't make a special trip to see us!  

I'm sure that you will rear your head again before Spring gets here and give us another "lookie here"!  

The coffee is always on and the hot coco is quickly made if you come back.  

But if I don't see you again, that will be OK and I applaud your time here.  

Hi, dear friend,

January has gone....and here is February...That brings us a little closer to Spring !...

.

Here, we have had sunshine until about 1 PM and now it's raining...

7° Celcius...not cold for that winter season.

I'm so  longing for Spring !!!!

I wish you a good February.

Take good care of yourself.

Be happy 

lots of love.

Yvette

SWEETIE!  

MAY I SING FOR YOU?

MUAH!  

STOP BY MY PROFILE PAGE!

LOVE ALWAYS, ANNETTE HANSHAW "THAT'S ALL!"  

Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. 

The biggest problem with communication 

is that we don't listen to understand. 

We listen to respond. When we listen with curiosity, 

we do not listen with the intent to respond. 

We listen to what is behind the words.

Let's enjoy this Friday before the cold front hits us again later today.  

The Giltter might last a day but it will be blown away by the cold North winds.  

So instead of glitter, leave a footprint in a heart that can't be blown or wiped away.  

Friends many times are what keep us going.  Thank you for that each and every mimute of every day.  

Boy isn't that the truth!  I love listening and sharing my crazy life with you!  

After all Laughter is the best medicine of all.  Blessings & Hugs!  

Boyd&I are fine!! Been hunkered down here for a week now. Might try to go into town, tomorrow, might!! Our son, Bill is improving so much!! Thank you for prayers! He is working from home now. Started back, Tuesday. He fell on the 29th of November, broke his femur. Got back to work on January, 27th. Not bad! Still in physical therapy. They come to his house. We had tuna salad sandwiches and porknbeans for lunch. Hadn't had that in a very long time!! I hope you all have been well and staying warm!! Hugs Shirley

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

Good evening, dear friend

How are you?

What's the weather like, where you are?

Here, it's been raining since last night...and 7°C...so not warm...

But it's winter!

I have the feeling that spring isn't too far away...all the shrubs are budding...and the hazelnut trees are in bloom...

Take care of yourself, and stay warm if you can...

Good night.

Warmest hugs and kisses,

Yvette

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.

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

This is Rbt and I the last few days!
