Jacob
Here's some new shots of Jacob. Marchelle and Tyler call him Jay (just like Papa!) but to me, he's still Jacob!

Congratulations
Congratulations to Gail! She just completed her final chemo treatment! She was supposed to have four treatments but after talking to her oncologist yesterday, the Dr. decided she was doing so good that there would be no significant benefit for a fourth treatment!! Yipee! Gail gets a month off before she starts localized radiation treatments

Getting Better
Well, the Nor'Easter is over we faired pretty good. Some accumulation of slush, some snow but it was mixed with alot of rain so we were very lucky unlike some people in different areas. Today, the sun was shining for awhile. Yup, that big beautiful yellow ball in the sky broke through the clouds and shined on us. AND, tomorrow......the weatherman has predicted more of the same! As a matter of fact for the next 5 or 6 days, the temps are supposed to steadily climb into the 50s, 60s and (gasp) 70's. Only in the Northeast can you go from 30 to 70 in just a couple of days! Well, this gal is ready for the weekend! Windows open, car cleaning, standing on my deck (I can smell a cookout already)!
Enjoy your weekend, I know I will!

Nor'Easter
Spring. Mid-April. Nor'easter. Winter storm warning in effect. Up to a foot of snow expected. Flowers starting to bloom which will all die.
So far, April hasn't been a good month. It's not unusual, however, to have a storm in April but in the very beginning of the month - not the middle. I guess the only thing we can hope for is that the temps warm up quickly afterwards to melt it all. Not too fast or we'll have flooding but warmer will be nice.
I'm miserable - can you tell? It's not just me, talk to any New Yorker or northener for that matter. We're tired of cold and certainly do not want any more snow. Our windows have been closed since last September.
We want pool covers off, flowers blooming, patio furniture on the decks. I want to wear shorts and flip flops. I want to mow the grass.
Guess I should go get some cheese, huh?

Spring is arriving
I've seen the first signs of spring and it feels so good.
It thundered and lightening this past weekend. I got so excited to hear those sounds! And it's thundering and lightening right now and pouring rain! It's warm outside and the back door is open. YEAH!!!
I saw bugs flying in the air on my to work this morning. Jamie and I were standing on the deck talking tonight and we saw a bat! I can tell you that I've never been excited to see a bat before, but tonight it just seemed so good! On my way home, I swear I saw a robin. It was fast, came flying out of no where, but I swear I saw an orange breast as it quickly detoured back to the side of the road.
The temps are still fluctuating but we're on the upswing!!!
What I'm waiting for is the little bit of greenery you see on the bushes on the side of the road. I usually notice it driving on my way home. You see a tiny bit and your eyes are peeled to the side looking for another glimpse to make sure you saw right the first time. That's when this ol' girl gets happy. Spring is absolutely my favorite season. It will still be 2 more months before the leaves are all out but it's coming! I can't wait!

Hello!
Greetings everyone! Wow, March already. Where is the time going? Seems like I just blogged but it was awhile ago! I haven't been as good as I used to be about writing. I get home from work and my mind seems like mush. I just don't want to do anything! I have, however, been trying to do better about exercising and eating better. I think that's part of my problem - not eating right and not being active. That's the bad part of being in a climate where it's cold. If you're not an winter outdoors person, you just get plain lazy! C'mon spring!!! Seems like everyone I talk to can't wait for the snow to melt and warm temperatures to rise. We really haven't had a "bad" winter - it didn't start to get bad till mid January but it's been extremely cold and windy and I've had enough.
The weather is supposed to be decent this week, if you call rain decent. But the temps will be in the 40's and 50's and the rain will all help to melt the snow so, to me, that's decent. Transition time! Yipee! I'm going to take the winter decorations off the porch and replace with some spring time looking decorations - positive thinking!
Well, here's to happy spring thoughts!

Super Chris
This is Jeana's boyfriend Chris. He loves Superman! We had some good laughs when we went over to his house - especially when he made the mistake to tell us he had a cape!
The Gang
This is a picture of Jamie and Jeana's friends. It was fun meeting them and we had a great time together.
