As a kid, one of the best things about Sunday was getting the Sunday newspaper and pulling out the comics section. On Sundays the comics were printed in color! And most of them were 3 or 4 times as long as the ones in the daily newspaper.

My favorite comics included Peanuts and Garfield. How interesting that my favorites are about a dog and a cat? I just realized that!

Today my baby sister turns 47, I know she will kill me for telling everyone how old she is. I guess she will just have to get over it. I am past thinking about getting old and I just turned 51. I know that I fell good and she is in better shape than I am. I wish I was a skinny as she is, I have never been skinny and I never will be but I am happy and that is all that matters. Happy birthday sis and I hope you have many more. I love you and hope you have a great day.

My grandson’s first ever snowman. Actually, we decided to make a snow-woman. I don’t know why the project went in that direction, but there you have it. He did a great job!

This time of year is very special to me and my family. We have a lot of fun with the tree and decorations on the tree and the house. This year we plan on staying home to celebrate the holiday. I will miss seeing my family and friends but with the way the economy is we just think it would be better to stay at home this year, we will still have a lot of fun and maybe next year we can do some traveling next year.

The one season that I dislike the most is the winter time, I would say that I hate it except winter has Christmas and that I do love as much for my kids sake as mine. The family seems to get closer at Christmas time and that seems to make winter a much more tolerable to me. After Christmas it will be back to the winter blues. I can not wait for spring, it is my favorite season and every year spring pulls me out of my winter funk and puts a smile on my face. Come on Spring we are waiting on you!
