She is the highlight of Grandpa Rich's life [course I can't say she has NO effect on me!] I have discovered that being a Grandma is one of the best things that can happen to you!
Everyone was sleeping in the house--napping if you will from the big dinner served for our late xmas celebration.
That just left myself and Ariel. I couldn't find her gloves, but she wanted Grandma Val's anyway. And she always wears them on the wrong hands...also insisted on Grandma's ugly Fudd hat with the brim turned back and tucked down under the hood so the flaps protected her ears.
What a pair we looked like walking around the house. Ariel in her oh so pretty perfectly matched snowpants, jacket, and boots...
Well and Grandma in her chore coat with an old ugly scarf tied around her head. Ariel found 'pictures' for me to take, and we stomped in the snow and got the sleet blown on our faces.
All in all it was the best part of my weekend so far.
Hmmm, but my shoulder is saying--Grandma should not carry Ariel no matter how she insists!
I wish I could be a full time Grandma!

A true friend
I feel better tonight and even am typing with a nice smile on my face. I had a long 'talk' with a friend of mine via email and it felt nice. Funny how those things work out.
This morning is supposed to be dreary and kinda dull. If the sun shines--even if it doesn't, I may take Morris and go out about the yard and see what my lens will see.
It looks like I am off work until at least the 3rd when I get an MRI on my shoulder.
haha--no driving for a week!
Funny, the boss has offered to pick me up and have his wife bring me home or my hubby could pick me up.
There are a lot of the end of the yr stuff to do but nothing that cannot wait until the 3rd or 4th.
Thank you friend, I know you may read this.

Landmark windmill
Battered by this year's storms and strong winds, this landmark stands over the driveway to a friend's house. If ever I am lost or need company, I can always knock on her door.
Decisions, decisions
Well the State of WI will not honor the Federal VA's educational benefits. So now I have to choose a school in CA for my education.
The Feds will pick up 55% of the
Correspondence or 'on line training' for my classes. This is the good news. I will also learn three vital areas in the medical field. Transcription, Billing [electronic], and CPT coding. These jobs are becoming more and more important as HIPPA and the Feds stick their noses into all the medical fields.

On the Road Again
Off to work on this horribly foggy morning, I drove slowly because my tail lights didn't work...oh yeah hubby 'wuz gonna' fix that. Talk about a drive with sweaty hands and nerves of steel.
Well when I did get to work I stepped out onto the blacktop...it was black ice. My feet went one way, I caught myself with my--yeah you guessed it--left arm [of fire]...
The day pretty much stayed this way with more coming the rest of this week. On the way home I noticed the trees were getting a light coating of ice on them.
Perhaps I should get up early and catch some ice photos?

Black and White Sunset
Gloomy yucky day, overcast and ugly. The snow was not fresh and the farmers had spread manure on the field staining the white snow.
Yet is was a wonderful day as I rode Badger bareback solo up along the ridge roads. I can't lift a saddle yet and when he did a startled 180° I nearly fainted from the pain in my shoulder ... but I just quietly hugged my mule by laying on him until it passed--swearing not to tell a soul.
I came home feeling like a million bucks mentally, the ride felt so good and so right.
No matter what I cannot give it up!

My little walk
I try to get out each day and take a little walk...to blow the stink off as Rich would say.
Cheyenne came up and we had a conversation. We reminesced [sp?] about the old days. I filled her in on my 'bum' shoulder and she felt sorry for me, even gave me a friendly head on the shoulder--I love you hug.
Sometimes she can be so endearing.
