~~~~~~~NO, NO, NO......this is not the Arctic!!!

It is the results of frozen wave action on our beautiful beach!

I took a day and what a beautiful day it was to do a little shutter bugging.

The last pic is the view from the top of our cliff looking at.... you guessed it,
more frozen wave action.

I know that this will chill out Y'all in the south!

Till next time...

.....Back to Normal for me is returning to some sort of routine.

During the winter or when I'm home my days are focused with a daily visit to the local "Y" and taking advantage of the many programs they have to offer.
The program that I am really enjoying is Functional Fitness and it is offered Tues. and Thurs. It involves cross training which holds my interest since you really have to concentrate on the various moves as well as proper use of equipment and weights.

Today, is an hour with my favourite trainer, Brenda, in a class called Strength and Stretch. When I leave her class I realize that this old body can still keep up and is finally getting into shape!

Till next time...

~~~ Some of you are aware that I was born under the sign of ARIES and yes, I have that pioneer spirit. Today, I followed that spirit and ventured into some interesting driving.

Following my visit with dear niece and sons (hubby was on a gig) in Toronto I had a strong urg to head home even though weather warnings were discouraging anyone from venturing out today. You see two weather systems, an Alberta Clipper and a Texas Red, were to converg in our proviance just about the time of my trip.

The driving wasn't as bad as I had expected however I stayed to the main Hwys and made it home saftely. Now I can enjoy watching all that melting snow disappear.

Till next time...

......Life is returning to normal for me following the month holiday in the south.
#1 Son visited this past weekend and did a few jobs around the house. We had a lovely time and great meals.

I have just a few more days at home this week then I'm off again this time to visit #2Son and his family. On Saturday I'll visit dear neice and her family and drop off a few things to them that was sent by my sister for the grands.

Till next time...

T. G. I. H.----- That stands for " Thank God I'm Home"...I sure missed this place!

Dame near kissed the ground but it was packed with snow everywhere except my drive...thanks to my wonderful neighbour, Dave.

Now it's time to unwind following the drive through Toledo and Detroit and dealing with the snow covered Hwy. 21 all the way home.

Till next time...

THERE IS A GOD AND SHE HAS BEEN VERY KIND TO ME today ....


Yes, I drove through the area of Georgia, Tenn, and Kentucky that was effected by those torndoes.

I was on the western fringe of the storm and rain forced me off the road twice for about 1/2 hour each time.
It was about 4:00 in the after noon as I went through Cincinnati and the storm clouds were and my right and winds were blowing at about 60-70 miles per hour. To my left or west the sky was blue with very few coulds.

It was really a "WILD RIDE"!
For those of you who know me I get bored very easily and then I turn to singing or dancing well, no singing but a hell of a lot dancing with those large 18 wheelers during my adventurer on Interstate # 75.
In total today I travelled from Atlanta to Monroe Ohio where I am settled in for the night.

After I got my room I headed out for something to eat and to my surprise "SHE", gave me a finally blessing as I spotted
"TIM HORTONS". Yup, there's nothing like a bowl of soup following a horrendous day like today!

Till next time...

BOO HOO!!!!
That was me saying good bye to dear M. E. and hubby. I left their house at 7:00 AM
and made all the way north of Atlanta where I am settled for the night.
I was cut off just at the ring road around Atlanta and had to go through the bowels of the city at 4:00 PM. You can imagine the traffic and the bad language coming out of my mouth however it was ok so I con't to dance with the 18 wheelers till I arrived at this little town called Cartersville. !

Till next time...

HOLY SMOKE!...
a power failure in the middle of the Super Bowl....not that I following the game too closely. Being a Patriots fan for many years I was cheering them on and I was sure that the Pats would win the game.
I won't find out the score till the morning.
My dear friend M.E. and hubby and I are having a good old time chatting the time away and will con't to do so for the next few days.

Till next time...
