Yes going to church was never an option it was just expected and to miss you had to be really sick! We raised our three the same way. But only two have stayed Catholic and the third married a girl of the Lutheran faith. I told Fred I had no problem with him becoming Lutheran as it’s better to have one faith in a family and they have been together 25 years this June.
So far Rosie is still sleeping. Fred bought her two new toys and they both ended up in her bed. The cute toy box Fred’s sister sent will probably never get used as when I put her toys in it she looked at it and then at me as though asking why did I take her babies away so I quickly took them out and she put them back in her bed. Last night as we were putting her bed in the bedroom the babies fell on the floor and she waited and counted each one to be sure Fred was putting them back. She had one she was carrying and when she felt everything was good she hopped into her bed and went to sleep.
Church this morning and Debbie texted last night they won’t be coming until tomorrow around 12:30 and Maija and Tim will then head back to Iowa. Fred is golfing tomorrow but told me he’ll only play nine holes as it’s his first time out and doesn’t want to overdo it.

Good Sunday Morning. Hope everyone got their clocks all turned ahead except those of you in AZ. I still have my big living room clock to take down and hope Ed will come today to put it back up. As usual this time change will mess me up for a few days.
Tomorrow Lynda is picking Ozzie up at 7 a.m. to drop him off at the vets for his teeth cleaning. I always worry so much while he's gone. I think this will be the last time we have this done. I'm just going to have to be brushing his teeth more often so he doesn't get the plaque on them. She will pick him up after she finishes work.
Chilly again this morning. Temp 22 with a high of 48 later. Wind has gone down so probably doesn't feel so cold.
Nothing planned for the day. Probably another long boring day for me. I'll listen to my church service on live stream. Wish I could actually go to church. My parents did take me to church but we didn't get there every Sunday. We lived a quite a way out in the country and my dad didn't always get the farm work done in time for church. My sister and I never got to go to Sunday school or any other church activities. After we moved to a farm closer to town my parents didn't like the Lutheran minister so we didn't go to church . When my dad passed away and mom moved to an apartment in the the same town I lived in she started going to church regularly again.
Now I belong to the Lutheran church here in Farmington. All of my kids were baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran religion but Lynda doesn't believe in formal religion, Ed converted to Catholic when he got married and Brian has just started to go back to church.

I woke up to the squawking of the sandhill crane in my backyard. My neighbor loves to feed the birds and I think the sandhill cranes have discovered this!
I really love those birds. My neighborhood is so wonderful for all kinds of birds and a ton of squirrels LOL.
I don't really have much to report since I'm recovering from the surgery. My left arm is still in a sling and it's only been a little over a week since the surgery which was February 29th.
I hope everyone is doing well.

Shragae, we have patiently waiting to hear from you and hoping the surgery did what it was supposed to do. I did read on another thread that you felt you were doing well and that the pain was manageable. Thanks for posting!! I loved all the birds in Florida. Those sand cranes are pretty awesome. Would hold up traffic coming into the mobile home park and all through the park. they took their good old time like to say-- we were here long before you. there was a pond also and always ducks in it unless an alligator would show up and they did from time to time. The ducks were smarter than that!!
We are getting snow and the ground is covered. told DD if roads bad she does not have to swing by here today. She can figure out the computer another day for me. think it is nothing more than annoyance. I am sure cleaning it up will take care of it all. We had a bit of snow in middle of night then rain so this is the 2nd snow storm. To last only a day. I have errands to run this coming week. Lunch with my neighborhood friend. she has had so many Dr appointments and company that we haven't done anything in quite awhile. On quick lunch is about it. but do text at night sometimes. she is a bit over whelmed.
I did get my big wall clock in living hung back up. And rest all done that I have to manually do like microwave, and stove. I am fine with time change. Do like it lighter longer . but in winter don't really mind it getting dark early , don't go anywhere after dinner in winter anyway. It is what it is , I sleep when I can and get up when I want to. Not a soul to object.
Sandy, My DH would be saying his golf clubs were rattling in the bag this time of year. LOL Don't think he ever did 9 holes except for the after work league, maybe if he had lived longer he would have.

I went to Bible class and church this morning. My parents didn't go to church regularly. I ended up as a teacher in a Lutheran school. Yes, I am now a Lutheran. I spent the rest of the day catching up on the recordings that I had missed. I almost all caught up.

I was raised Episcopal which is about as close to Catholic as one can get. I married in a Dutch Reform church and went there with my hubby and raised our kids there. But, hubby being in the Army for awhile we just went where ever. I have a very personal relationship with God so the type of church doesn't matter at all. With Jim being so sick I don't get to church at all but I talk to God all the time and he sends me messages many times. When my first hubby passed one red rose in my rose garden of 13 roses opened and sat there with no other roses blooming for two weeks. I finally said to my deceased hubby..."Okay honey, I got your love message" and I cut the rose and brought it inside where it lived for two more weeks....Yes a whole month....one rose.....The day after I cut it ALL 13 roses were in bloom. When I met Jim I drove to his house because he couldn't drive on highways and he was sitting on the couch with sandals and socks and a dog between his knees. God told me then (the very first time I met him) that this was the right man for ME. He was smart and we had a ball together. Remember I was an embalmer before I moved to CA and I can handle messes so as the years passed and he lost both legs to diabetes and now has dementia I now know why God chose ME to marry him. He would be lost without me. He would probably have died in his house with no one taking care of him a long time ago. I don't know if any of you know he was alcoholic. He still drinks a very moderate amount of wine but it is not allowed to be kept where he can get it. He is allowed two glasses in a day which doesn't affect his diabetes. I have it measured. I do not drink because my father was alcoholic and he smoked. I started smoking at 14 and smoked for almost 40 yrs. when my first hubby died of lung cancer. So, I figured I got his addiction problem and never have abused alcohol and haven't had more than one glass of wine in any day.
Sorry I'm so windy today. Hope it helps you all sleep...LOL
Tucking you all in now in our new blanket. It is light green with dark green shamrocks all over it and a huge Easter basket in the middle with a Leprechaun in it. Since Easter is the 31st we will have to chase out the Leprechaun before Easter -- so keep that in mind and lets figure out how to do it.
Looking Forward to Easter Kathie
