brrrrrr....the wind is so cold here the past week! Temperatures were higher today but the wind was just as cold. Lori, I hope you arrived home safely from your big adventure. You'll have to tell us all about it. Send us some warmer weather! I went to West Lebanon today to visit with my sister who had my nephew and niece from Milton from the weekend. They are getting so big. Almost 8 and 5 with them looking just like my brother. Well, happy thoughts to all....

Do you live close enough to your Mother to give her support? Wishing only happy thoughts for her through this.

Well Roland, I wish your mom the very best.

Pat et el.... thanks for the thoughts. Update is she is going to have brain surgery and its pretty risky as the location is difficult but I'm glad she decided against chemo. Its pretty warm here lately and is over 70 today!!!! Got another project vehicle, a 77 Ford F100 with a big 400 4bbl. I hope to have it for sundays. Its got a real straingt boday and needs aonly paint and a carb. Its presently blue but I want to pain it red and black out all the chrome and add cragers for rims. Stay well all (and warm ha ha).

Hi everyone. I'll be flying back to L.A. tomorrow. Yesterday we flew from Queenstown back to Auckland. It's hard being back in a city after all that beautiful nature in Queenstown. It will be even worse getting back to L.A.! We've had a really good vacation--perfect combination of action and relaxation!

I am back too! My flight got into Hartford at 11:09...20 minutes ahead of schedule, a little bumpy flight being so windy but guess that helped us go faster! ....it was pretty nice seeing daffadils and flowering bushes... good to know that Spring will come! Here there is 8 inches of fresh powdery snow that arrived yesterday. Flurring now. I had a great visit with my daughter and grandbabies. Its very hard to leave them but we will drive down in April. Karen, sit on the beach for me! I could use some sunshine..its suppose to be below zero here tonight. Patti, hope your visit was good and that you drove carefully home. Lori, your trip sounds heavenly. Hope all is well with all. Happy Thoughts..........
