Before I get into my day, I want to tell you about a little project Ste has in mind. I know you all remember Ste. If you don't remember, or have never stopped by, please do, you won't be sorry. He is looking for JLanders to help him out. I thought it was great idea. We need some spice, some fun, some happiness. Being the creative soul he is I think he found something, better yet I know he has! I will let him explain......
My day was not completely perfect. I woke up to snow flakes falling and a trail of white on the grass. I know I groaned right out loud. Before I could finish my first cup of coffee it had stopped and what was on the ground had melted. YEAH!! The sun came out and it looked like the day was going to be gorgeous. A bit chilly but gorgeous. About 45 minutes later it hit. I laughed right out loud. Though my dad is doing great, he really isn't driving. My mother has been doing all that work :) A little secret about my mother. She will not drive in snow. Never has, and I know never will. Today there was a mass for my sister at a church near their home. Pat, knowing that if my mom didn't get there she would be upset, did her magic and had the snow stop. I just know it was her! The mass was very nice. Family and a few friends were there. I cried of course. I tried so hard not to, but the tears welled up and ran down my cheeks. I miss her more then I could ever put into words.
I got some pictures today and it made me happy. Signs of spring!! A robin on my front lawn, buds in the trees, and looky here a budding flower of some sort in the garden. LOL I have no idea what it is. We'll have to wait until it blooms.
Yesterday I did pretty good on my shopping trip. I got two new outfits. I really wanted a couple pair of pants, and I did just a bit better. That with what I have may just carry me thru until I can wear my Capri's. Lets hope so.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh and HEY......... STOP HERE!!! :::giggle:::

Once again, I love your photo's. I sound like a broken record huh. I'm glad the snow stopped before it did anything and you (and your mom) got to go to the memorial mass for you sister. I know you miss her D.
Hugs, Joyce
Glad to hear you dad's doing better, and that the sun shined for you all today thanks to your sister, when Visit my mum at the cemetary the sun always shines and I like to think she's smiling down at me, it's such a good feeling. As always great photo's.
Take care

I cheked out Ste's journal. Sounds interesting.
Glad you got to attend Mass, I know it was important to you that your Mom got to attend also. Time Heals All Wounds does not also seem true, does it ?
The picture is beautiful!
Donna, nice to hear your dad is doing better, I know your sister is still with you and looking out for you, Hugs Lisa
Hi d
What a beautiful tag!
I know what you mean about missing your sister. I still miss both my parents like it was yesterday.
I was finally able to get out in my yard to do some yard work today. It was almost 70 today. A week ago today we had two inches of snow. Crazy weather.
Hope you have a great week!
Hugs~Mary
Oh and your postcard is great!
What a beautiful picture Donna! I'm glad the service for your sister was nice and that the snow stopped for your Mom....Pat was definitely involved in that one!! I can only imagine how sad you were, and how very much you miss her, I wish I could give you a hug to tell you how much I care that you hurt. I'm glad that there were signs of spring, and you know what? I bet Pat knew you'd be sad today, so she had something to do with that too, just a little something to bring a smile to her dear sister, whom she misses just as much.
Love & Pooh Hugs,
Linda
Sounds like you had a great day .....hopefully this will be the last of your snow.
You are so cute! Love you!

Spring is certainly taking it's time this year.
Love your Robin.
Wish I could do something to ease your pain.
Sending big hugs your way.
