It's spring!

Well, not really.

However - I just received a gorgeous graphics collection from my friend Deb at Pollyanna Graphics and I just had to show them off. So, that meant a whole re-vamp of my blog which incidentally I love to do. It may be snowing in parts of the country but here it's already spring.

Actually, our weather here in Florida has been just that. We had about a week or two of really cold weather and then we're back to the high 70's. I understand that it's like that in a lot of the country. Oklahoma where my daughter and family live has been spring-like. And my DIL Stephanie in Tennessee is longing to see snow instead of the warm temps they have right now.  Also, parts of the country have been experiencing tornado weather as well - very, very unusual for this time of year.  Very odd.

It was Christmas all over again yesterday morning when I called my bank and discovered my very first social security check had been deposited. I can now officially call myself retired, I guess. Anyway - it was very warmly welcomed and I immediately threw on my clothes and drove to the grocery store.

I'm looking forward to having lunch with Marge, my webbie friend at a Disney resort restaurant on Saturday. We get together when we can and usually meet at Disney because it is one of our favorite places and it seems to be a good half-way point between us. I always love getting together with Marge. Her sweet personality is infectious and I always feel the better from having been with her.  I also need a day out in the worst way!

Mandy went for her long-overdue grooming today. She looks every bit the lady now but has been sleeping a good part of the afternoon. I guess getting primped and so forth just wears her out. She always comes home with her grooming ribbon on her collar because she doesn't tolerate anything on the top of her head. I remember buying some pink clip-on ribbons while I was waiting for her to be old enough to come home with me. I couldn't wait for her hair to grow long enough so that I could put them on.  But Mandy says - "no dice, Mom."  Oh well.

Hope everyone is having a great day. We are almost out of January and into February. The time sure flies! Take care.
