Family visits

"We build deep and lasting family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and just having fun together."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Some days we are fortunate to share breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. Then,  we add fun by watching movies together or playing games.  Building precious memories.

 "One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present."

Stephen A. Covey 

Storm Stories

"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing down to the roaring storm, waving, swirling,  tossing branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease."

John Muir

Last week, our community endured strong winds that knocked down trees,  tore shingles off roofs, scattered branches in streets,  and caused damage across our state. Sadly, individuals also died as the result of this storm.

Today, many families are still without electricity. Schools are closed for a second day. Friends are sharing stories of reading by flashlights, enduring minor and major inconveniences, and waiting for a small return to normalcy. 

One friend shared her chemotherapy was interrupted are the result of the storm. There are countless storm stories. Pray for recovery... physical and spiritual. 

Friendship Friday

 "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. If you approach life this way, always looking for ways to build instead of tear down, you'll be amazed at how much happiness you can give to others and find for yourself.'

Mother Teresa 

Thrifty Thursday

Someone forgot to get their change. I wonder, did they simply bag their items and forget this dollar?  Another customer told me, "It is your lucky day?" I said, "No, I am not taking the money, it may have cooties." 

Seriously, I told the cashier at CVS someone left their money. He collected the dollar and some coins.  I wonder how many people simply walked by the dollar hanging out of the machine.  Maybe the customer  will come back. 

Slow down.

March 1 ... Birthday flowers for my daughter. 

Temperature in Lexington  79 F

Temperature in Omaha 49 F

This quote from Charles Dickens seems to describe the day. 

"It was one of those

March

days when the sun shines hot

and the 

wind blows cold;

when it is summer in the light

and winter in the 

shade.
