Random 5 Friday
HALLELUIAH! My sister is CANCER FREE!!! We are elated!!! All that remains are a few hurdles to overcome from chemo side effects and she will be good as new...:)
Last weekend, the Pres and I attended a mass dedicated to his mom and stepfather. When Father John began sharing the individuals to be remembered, a teary-eyed me held my breath in anticipation. Grabbing hold of the Pres' pinky and then hearing their names, the tears of sadness became those of pride...proud to be a part of their life. Will I ever stop missing her? Them?
Thank goodness for savvy youngsters! Although I am still not comfortable with it, my oldest granddaughter Jelly Bean (Rhia) tried to give me a crash course.
Although a lot of our snow melted when we had 40-50 degree days last weekend, several of those polar vortex things has us in their path with below normal temps...single digits mostly. Although we are not happy, the daffodils will be.
What's on your horizon? On my horizon are some projects requiring a little handy-work. As soon as I know all the ice is gone, I am heading out to explore. For some reason, I want to start early this year, vowing to get in a lot more kayaking this year. Then I found out why when I read my horoscope:
Heaven help my followers!

Oh your plans of cayaking sounds lovely!
We are expecting an ice/snow storm Sunday night! Yikes! I am doing all the laundry I can and making sure all the dishes are clean! lol
Remembering loved ones can be difficult but memories are so wonderful aren't they?
Crown of Thorns. My dad used to grow one and it was quite large. Makes me wonder if I can buy one to keep his memory really alive. He left us in 1971 but I still feel close to him.
My future plans...to hopefully have our kitchen cupboards replaced after I flooded our kitchen (accidentally and stupidly) a few weeks back. Insurance covers it but not looking forward to the upheaval we will have. Too old for that sort of thing but will have to put up with it.
I'm ready to tag along on your warmer weather adventures!
