The Wall is gone

There was a closet that I needed gone in the new house. I wanted the space opened. So while Samantha and Bryan finished painting downstairs, Calvin, Daniel and Bruce knocked it down. Now it is really open. I like space.

Happy Birthday Carol

Tomorrow would have been Carol's 58th birthday! I really need an older sister to hit 58 before I do, it makes it not seem old when someone you used to swing on the swings with is 58 first. Carol used to love Japanese anything. I will have to talk to Mom about the violin playing, I have a dim memory of her playing the violin when we lived in Los Angeles. We ran in the desert searching for lizards and little beds of clay. When I needed to know anything, it was Carol who informed me. The other day I did it again, thought, "Oh, Carol will know." It was great of Chrissy to find the Hercules song for me. That helps a lot, to have a sister left who cares about me like I care about her. I guess that is the important thing. You can't help but mourn those who are gone, but thank goodness that there are two of us left.

Good morning

It is cold today, Keith (our radio announcer) said it was about 3 or 4 degrees and our hunters are headed out. The sky is a lovely blue and snow is glistening on the bushes. I am grateful that I am warm inside the house. I hope the hunters stay warm. Brrrr
