More Snow, Death & Computer Problems

Well this morning I got up and the ground was totally covered in a light dusting of snow.

And we're under a major winter weather advisory for this weekend. Could get lots and lots and lots of snow this weekend.


Winter Layout is coming soon.


And RIP Evel Knevil, greatest daredevil in the world.


Also this week my computer was making a funny noise, so I took it in to be repaired.
There was nothing wrong with it, thank goodness.
That computer is so darn heavy, carrying it, hurt my bad ribs.

Snow

There's a tiny, little bit of snow on the ground.

It's mainly around the edges so to speak. You know where the grass comes up against the road.

I guess that means Winter is finally here.

Thanksgiving!

Wed. 11-21-07


Well today I did my baking for tomorrow. I made Apple Cinnamon Bread and Georgia Cookie Candy.


Thanksgiving 11-22-07


Happy Thanksgiving.

Well it turns out my Apple Cinnamon Bread wasn't completely done. I don't understand it. The toothpick came out clean when I tested the bread. But after the first slice, the center of the bread was still dough.


My Georgia Cookie Candy was a big hit though.

Everyone was here. Today was a very good day.


Friday 11-23-04


Well it's a tradition in our family to go shopping the day after thanksgiving. So we did a little shopping this afternoon. In years past, we've gotten out at 5am when the stores opened. But we didn't do that this year.


My cousins went back home today, but my Aunt and Uncle stayed.


Sat. 11-24-07


My Aunt and Uncle went home this morning.


LOL we watched the movie Deck The Halls, it's very good.
But after watching it, we had this uncontrolable urge to put up our outside xmas lights. LOL.

So we got them out of the basement. But there was one broken bulb and several bulbs that just didn't light any more.

So we went out to buy more bulbs. LOL by the time we got back, it was too cold to do anything outside so we decided to wait.

Flowers For the Funeral & Viewing (11-15-07)

Well the florist in California wasn't too bright.
When I ordered the flowers yesterday I had them sent to where the viewing of my Aunt's body was going to be today.
When the florist in California got the order, they looked at the obit in the paper, and since there was not viewing times listed, they just decided to wait and deliever the flowers to the church tomorrow (11-16-07)
Even though in the obit it says that all flowers should be sent to where the viewing was today!


After about 4 phone calls, I was finally told that they get my flowers over there right away. The lady seemed really nice about it. And I'm not really all that mad at her....


I'm thinking of calling my Dad or someone tomorrow morning before the funeral and see if my flowers were really delievered yesterday or not....cause if they weren't.....I'm gonna be super pissed off.

Aunt's Funeral

Well my Aunt, the one in California who died, her viewing is tomorrow afternoon, and her funeral is Friday.

I went and ordered flowers today, to be sent to the chaple, I hope they get there by tomorrow.


I can't go to her funeral, no matter how much I would like to.....I can't afford to go all the way out to California.


Another Aunt has promised to send me a couple of the Memorium cards that they have that the funeral home.

I've been online and printed out a copy of her obit in the California newspaper.

And my Aunt has promised lots of pictures.


My Dad and Uncle and their wives are in California now, for the funeral.

I guess that will have to do.....

R.I.P. E. C.

Well at around 3am this morning, my Aunt in California, passed away, before they could turn off her life support.

In some ways I'm glad she died before they turned off the life support, cause I just don't believe in doing that. Sorry if I've insulted anyone just now, but that's how I feel.


They haven't decided when the funeral will be yet.

Doesn't matter really, I can't go. I can't afford to go all the way out to California, no matter how much I would like to.

Family Emergency

A few posts back, I posted about my Aunt in California having Cancer.

Well I found out now, that...well....if she lives through today she'll be doing good.


She's bleeding internally, septic, swollen, and on life support.

She'll probably be gone yet today I wouldn't be surprised.


And when she does die, I won't be able to go to her funeral. I can't go all the way out to California.


I feel horrible about not being able to see her one last time....but she's not awake, so in some ways I don't feel too bad about not being able to see her one last time.

I feel the worst about knowing I won't be able to attend her funeral.

First Snow (11-5-07)

It snowed this afternoon for about 5 minutes or so.

Nothing major, and it melted as soon as it hit the ground. But it was snow, non the less.

Wal-Mart

Do not ever go shopping at Wal-Mart on a Saturday!
I'm serious!
It took us like an hour before we found someone loading their bags into their car. Then we sat there for like 15 - 30 minutes before they finally were ready, got in their car and backed out of the parking space.
The inside of the store wasn't much better....my gosh....you'd think it was Dec. 24th, with all the people that were in there today.
