Ah-A 3 day weekend!

I have a 3 day weekend! Wee Hoo! Working for Gov't does have its perks!

I'll be spending Sunday with Mom & Mickey. Mom & I are going to a local greenhouse for an Orchid show. I hope to get some really great photos. It'll also be a good distration for mom. Mickey will stay behind-not his cup of tea. Afterwards, we'll all probably have dinner at mom's house.

Mom's a little down. Dad will be gone for 2 months now and mom's feeling sad. I don't really know what to say or do. Just love her & be there for her. I know it must be hard. She tries to keep busy, but weekends are hard for her. She's not at work and she's home alone, but at least she Lola, the cat, now to keep her company. Time is the only healer.

Mom did join us for dinner last Saturday at my brother-in-law's girlfriend's house. I was so glad she came. She needs to do that-surround herself with people that care & love her.

Aside from spending time with mom, I'll be running errands and getting a physical on Monday. I hope all goes well. I have high cholesterol-been taking meds, but I really need to exercise more. I also have been choosing healthier choices, but part of my high cholesterol comes from genetics. So, I really have to watch.

Winter is definately here-brr! Waiting to see if we really do get a snow storm. I don't mind snow so much, but it is difficult driving in it. One good snow storm is all we need, but I really don't envy those that have gotten more than their fair share already this winter.

Well, that's all for now!
