TODAY’S QUOTE
Silently, like thoughts that come and go, the snowflakes fall, each one a gem.
W. H. Gibson
HAPPY TUESDAY
I took Monday off from work as we were told Sunday evening and Monday morning that Dad would have his surgery. I went along with my youngest sister to the hospital and sat and waited and waited somemore.
Afternoon came and so did the exasperating news that once again, he was cancelled as they were too backed up to get to him. I have no choice to go to work today as I can not rely on them to give us notice of when the pacemaker will be put in. I feel badly that I probably won’t be there when I should be but cannot continue to take off work.
We must have had about 4 inches of S--- Monday morning and may have more today. My nextdoor sister got the s---blower out and I got my shovel out so we had it cleared in no time as it was the light powdery kind of s--- that often comes when the temps are down to ‘O’ degrees. BrrrChill !
Everyone keep warm and safe.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way!
Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdom for their commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
TODAY IS…THERMOS BOTTLE DAY
Why does a thermos keep hot things hot and cold things cold? There's a vacuum between the inner and outer layers of the bottle, so there is no movement of air. And with no air movement, there is almost no change in temperature. So... you don't have to break one open to see what's inside.
TODAY’S TRIVIA

TODAY’S SMILE
The Cowboy Boots:
(Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this)
Did you hear about the Texas teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots? He asked for help, and she quickly found out why he needed it. Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on.
By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost cried when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet." She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on.
She managed to keep her cool as, together, they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right feet. He then announced, "These aren't my boots. "She bit her tongue, rather than scream at him, "Why didn't you say so?"
Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet. No sooner had they gotten the boots off his feet, when he said ... "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear 'em."
Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But she mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again. Helping him into his coat, she asked, "Now, where are your mittens?" He said, "I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots."
The teacher will be eligible for parole in three years.
