where oh where are we to go?

 Yes, is it Florida or Colorado? That is the big question.  We have a daughter in  Colorado and a son in Florida.  The son works long  hours away from home and family and has little quality time with family.  With us  in Florida it will cut into that time. Florida makes more sense, but I don"t want to mess up his family time which will happen as he and his dad love to spend hours talking. 

Colorado on the other hand poses an elevation problem or maybe not.  Our daughter will feel better to have us there, and would likely spend more time flying to Florida to check on us which takes  time away from her home and husband.

This all poses a heartache for a mom that loves her family very much. We would likely see our daughter's family more if we went to Colorado, but our sons family is in Florida already. However, families do move around.  Our daughter has settled on Colorado as her retirement home. Our son's family could end up anywhere.  But we do not know how many years or days we have left in our time on earth.  So this is the problem in heart aches we have.

May God guide and grant us peace about our decision. 

snowy February

We have had a series of snows this month, adding several inches to our base.  Brian came today and shoveled the deck and the oil intake area.  I am still fighting Covid for the second time this year.  2025 has been a rough year so far.  

Tom's blood sugar

 Tom had a bad reaction to his 50 reading of blood sugar today.  I gave him two glasses of orange juice .  and peanut crackers and a chicken salad supper.  He finally got well enough to get to bed.  He was also very confused.  Hopefully he will sleep it off, and be better in the morning.  

First real snow

 December 2, 24 was our first real snow.  We had around 6 inches and today, December 5, we had another 6 or so inches.  Very pretty, but very cold.  Mara loves to roll in the snow as she rolls in the grass when there is no snow.

Birthday

We went to 99's for my birthday and were treated to our meal by an unknown person and the manager paid for our dessert.  I will try to put in a picture.

approaching 91

 I am on the eve of being 91 years of age.  I never dreamed of being this old.  I still enjoy life and look forward to each day.  Right now I'm off to fertilize my inside plants.  That should take the rest of my energy.  I just go home from Walmart, doing last minute Thanksgiving shopping.  I"m not decorated , but I have fixed the table for our family of 6.  

Mary and Beth at Colorado River.

 We drove for hours along the Colorado River to get to Moab and Archies national Park.  I loved every minute of the drive.  Charlie drove as I sat in the back seat taking photos.
