My Dad's Passing

In my previous post I meant to write that my dad passed away unexpectantly in his sleep.He was 81 so we know he led a good life.He especially enjoyed his great grandchildren and grandchildren.

Will Return In A Few Days

My dad passed away in his sleep expectantly over night.He has been ill for a few years so we are glad that he didn't have to suffer too much with cancer.

I will return in a few days.

Holiday Light Displays

Yesterday we drove down to Bristol TN which is 100 miles south of us.We went to Bristol Motor Speedway to see their Speedway in Lights Display.The displays were fantastic.The highlight was that our daughter got to drive on the actual speedway that the NASCAR drivers drive on.

Baby It's Cold Outside

We are having the coldest temperatures of the fall season.It was all of 9 when I got up this morning and Winter hasn't even arrived yet.

I wathced a very enjoyable show last night.It's the battle of the choirs.I enjoy listening to choirs and these choirs did not disappoint.The series will run through Thursday night.There are 5 choirs and one will be eliminated tonight.Hate the thought that one will be eliminated tonight but that is the premise of the show.Each evening one choir will be eliminated until one choir is picked as the winner.Each choir consists of 20 people who were picked by the celebrity choir leader.

Enjoying a Snowy Morning

When I went out to pick up the newspaper from the driveway I enjoyed the wonders of the snow all around me.I love snow and enjoy taking pictures of snow.

I took this picture of snow on one of our shrubs.Wanted to capture the picture before the sun melts the snow away.

It is sunny now so most of the snow will more than likely melt away today.Would love to have this same scene a week from today for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Today has been a snowy day.Sure beats the freezing rain that we were experiencing last night.Glad to see it change to snow.

I just went outside and snapped this picture.You can see the snow coming down.I measured 3 inches.We can get another two inches over night.It looks so pretty outside.I love snow as long as I don't have the need to drive in it.

Counting My Blessings Continued

I was having problems last night with my post so I sent what I had and will continue here.

Yesterday I mentioned my daughter's bee sting which happened in the morning.

Now for our second blessing yesterday.I was driving on a 4 lane divided highway when a car going in the wrong direction drove by me going quite fast.Thankfully I was in the slow lane.I had noticed that the car ahead that was traveling in the left lane had to take fast action and get over in the slow lane.Once I realized what was happening I moved fast to the left to get out of the way.I looked in my rear view mirror and noticed that the car going the wrong lane had its brake lights on.They were taking action to get out going the wrong way.Later after picking up our grandson from school I went back on the same highway going the other direction.I wanted to ease my mind and make sure that an accident hadn't happened behind us.Thankfully there weren't any accidents.Later in the day I heard on the news that an accident on the Interstate was caused by a driver going the wrong the way.It reminded me of what could have happened with the driver that went by us going the wrong way.

I feel so blessed that our daughter was treated immediately for her adverse reaction to the bee sting and that nothing happened when the car was going in the wrong direction.
