Hope everyone has a great week coming up.

Never forget our veterans...

WINTERS HERE !!!


.

I thought we were going to get some warm weather but guess I was wrong, it has rained, gotten colder and this morning it snowed again,  this is another snow storm so this makes 2 since we have been home.
.

Hopefully it is going to warm up, we did have the good fortune to see a nice red cardinal at the feeder, and we also got to watch a red tailed hawk come swooping in and snatching up one of the sparrows feeding.
.

Well, this month is almost over and it has been so far a dry cold one to start but the end of thew month has been cold and wet with lots of rain.
.
We were lucky and missed a lot of this storm.
.

Never forget, Remember the Vet !

Back in the Saddle



Well, we are trying to get back into the swing of things, in between running to Doctors and specialists tonight I grabbed the guitar and went to meet Karl and Roger from the "Friends of God" and we played at the Carthage Country Manor Nursing Home for the residents.  
.

.
We got right into some toe tappers and foot stomping tunes for the residents..
.
.
Karl, Travis, Craig Singing "In The Garden", Roger and me playing.
.
.
We did one from Randy Travis,  we sang "Three Wooden Crosses"....
.
Karl and Travis providing music for Anna who came up and sang to the residents.
.
Travis and Roger while we played "Long Black Train"....
.

.
Anna came back up and joined us again to sing...
.


.
We finished playing and the Lady from "Activities" came up and gave us a Certificate of Appreciation for playing every other tuesday night at the Nursing Home,  Travis in the Red Shirt is usually there with his father Mark who is always there but Military Duty kept him away tonight, on the other tuesday nights Mark, his son Travis above in the Red Shirt and anyone that wants to join in also play at the Skilled Nursing Unit.
.
We had a good time, I got to see 2 of my Cousins who are residents and also several people who used to live here at West Side Terrace who had to go to a Nursing Home.

COLD DISMAL DAYS



Well, we are home patiently waiting for some warmer weather, it is raining, cloudy, dismal looking and then suddenly the SUN peeks thru the clouds and shines a little then drops back behind the clouds...
.
Trout season started April 1st but it was SNOWING too hard to go fishing...
.
We have not even gotten a chance to go Bullhead fishing either....
.
but, summer temps cannot be that far away....
