Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.

HAPPY TUESDAY!
I’m off to work and after a round of Spring-like storms yesterday the weather is turning colder and tonight it may be down in the low 30’s and snow once again. Over night the grass seemed to turn green around here.
Today my Mom will get the results of her CAT scan . Please keep her in your prayers. I stayed the day with her yesterday and she wasn’t doing real great. My dad came through his surgery just fine and was home by mid-day. I stayed until evening and was home about 7:00 .
Take good care all !
Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way!
