 -2 this morning

Always something to say about the awful winter weather we are expericing here. I dont like it! to cold and my poor puppies cant stand it especially Sally she has a really hard time with it. We met the girls at the Mall for lunch I didnt think I would be able to make it because we had promised the Church that we would help take down the Christmas decorations but by the time I got their the worst was over. There was more help this year than usual and that was really nice 45 minutes at the most I was their of course some were their 1/2 hour befor I got their and they had talked it with gusto.  I am embarrassed to say I live the closest to the Church of all the members and I was the last one their. Iam so bad .LOL  I was able to meet the Girls after all  it was just nice to get away from the house and computer for a few hours. Although I have a lot of projects to do on the computer Iam backed up being the first of the year and we have been closed down for about a month in the web group I own with a internet friend and my sister. Also we have  a 3 year anniversary coming up our group being on line.. WHOO HOO how exciting..three years amazing and we are still hanging in their that time really flew by.  I have to get back to my drawing Iam making Birthday Tags to post on our site and they take some time so Iam cutting this short Oh and I dont want to close with out saying Get Well to my wonderful Nephew Scott he is in the hospital with a stint put in his heart and a blood clot removed from his veines, so so sad we are praying for him to have a speedy recovery.We love you Scott and Chrissie they have had their share of sickness lately hang in their you two sending positive healing thoughts your way.
