Ah where have I been?

Well its been a while since I've had a chance to settle down and write much less think. The holidays and winter weather, yes I said winter. That keeps us busy with the city, clearing streets and what not that may be. I feel guilty for not writing and had some many e-mails asking if I quit, I'm not a quitter but I do put off quiet a bit. Mondays are still spent with Mom making sure she keeps up her walking and she is doing quiet well.
My G is having a hard time of it with a case of the shingles, such a nice word “shingles” for a disease or skin condition. Per her, she says they are painful and I don't doubt her one bit not sure how she acquired them, she claims its from worry over all that's going on in the world. What can you do?
Work is going well, the cafe is still closed for the winter months so that's one less project to worry about. Bee isn't too happy with that but the Green house is getting a nice make over while we are down. The last month of the cafe being open the crowds began to grow. So much so I had to wait for my lunches on Tuesdays, that was my day to drop in and check. The girls in the office have been working famously together, no large quarrels or set backs.
Lori is growing so quickly, I looked at her the other day as she walked in from the kitchen and didn't know her. I still remember rocking in her rocking chair when she was sick and five. Scolding her the day she decided to walk to a friends house alone, I ran around the neighborhood like a fool looking for her. Why all the remembers whens? Shes having a birthday coming up soon and she pointed out exactly what she wanted for it. Hey, it helps me and its not a car so we are set.
PG and I have been clearing out a fence row on Sundays the cold weather helps with burning out the row. After maybe “long” half an hour to and hour of yanking weeds and taking in the latest gossip around town we manage to get out his remote control helicopters and fly them about chasing the cows around the fields.
The “idiot” of the family is back home again and in rare form. Bossing and shouting out commands on the evenings I am tempted to come home for a visit.
Jacks comes home next week. I miss him and Lori is all in a tither for him to be here. March is the month of birthdays in our family and we mush them all together, otherwise we spend the whole month birthdaying it away.
