Spring is coming?

I sure hope so, it was nice here today, with the promise of it being in the 60's and maybe up to 70 by the weekend! YaY! I don't want to see any MORE SNOW! Around the holidays it is nice...........but after that, it just needs to get out of here! This southern girl will just never get used to it I don't think, it is the plowing and the cleaning off (finding) the car, the salt, the sand that ruins underneath your car....Ugh! Last year I had to get a catalitic converter and a new muffler..........can anyone say $1000.00!! There went my winnings that I had won while down in Miami on a Casino Cruise.......someone was watching over me, knowing I was gonna need that money when I got back up north to COLD country!

Anyway, things have been fine, really busy at work as it always is. The Behavior Health Dept. (where I work) is moving to a new building. The workers are still working on it. Actually (now don't laugh) the building we are moving into was a barn. Yep, I said a BARN. They gutted it, and now we are going to have 5 offices, a kitchenette, a bathroom, file room and of course the office where I will be spending most of my 8 to 5 Monday thru Friday. I will have to get some pictures of it soon. They are also residing the barn with white siding, it won't be red anymore.

Also I have been talking to my son Allen just about every night. He is back living with his Dad now in Triangle VA and looking for a job. He seems to be doing better mentally since he has been on his meds for a while, but does have a ways to go. Have sent him 2 boxes of clothes that he needed, as when he was in the homeless shelter they were all given away.

Talked with Joey last week and things are coming along for the wedding........he is a planner that one. I get excited when I think of the date ( July 22nd) getting closer and closer! I can't wait!

Cher and I went over to her Mom's house yesterday and had a Birthday dinner get together for her brother Kenny (he is a firefighter) he turned 48. Guess who is going to be 50! in a few weeks! I just can't believe it! Me?............I don't feel it, but then again what is 50 suppose to feel like? I just think it is a neat age, half a century, think of that :)

Saturday Cher and I went to Rhode Island again to see my Mom and Grandmother......they are doing the same........fine for their ages and ailments, 77 and 96 years old. We ordered Chinese delivery (my Nanny loves Chinese) and we had a nice visit with them.

Well, that is about all for now, I will try and do better with my blogging, not really a whole lot going on........just work, and the dreary days of winter are finally coming to an end! I can't wait to get my bike out and hit some great bike trails they have around here.

Until next time............................:)
