So nice to hear from everyone here. Maureen, glad your daughter gets to stay longer. Has your son been called for jury duty yet? I had to call in each day after six last week and it wasn't until Thursday that I had to go. It was almost the end if the day and I thought I was home free, but no such luck....got picked for a civil trial. It started Mon and we went in Tuesday, but thankfully the judge was unable to be there today so we got the day off. I'm so glad. My daughter who works for HSBC is working from home today, but her fiancé works for M&T and he heard that anyone downtown after one might get stuck there. Bevin, where are you? I hope you're safe. Linda and Debbie, good to hear from both of you. Linda, you've got a lot on your plate. My mom lives an hour away so I only go about once every other week. But when I'm there I try to make her do some things for herself. It's so easy to want to just do it for them. When I take her grocery shopping, I always pray for patience, it takes her so long to decide which orange juice to buy. Susan, hope you are feeling better. Karen, it sounds like things a bit better there....still praying for that. Hi to Cheryl and Betty. Miss you all.

Paul didn't get called yet. He calls every night and they haven't reached his number. I'm hoping they don't. Hoping son gets home tonight safely. He's doing at hertel and Delaware today. Want him home. Mere wants to go sledding. I guess it's all in your perspective I just want family home. Dh had day off for appt with accountant for taxes thinking he will cancel. Corned beef was good but all gone already. Word gets out about corned beef dinner and everyone comes home. Hope they remember all this. I'm having one of those dark thought days today

well, blizzard here as expected. The wind is howling outside. Nice to be home watching it. Hubby even came home to work. Baking banana bread right now. My FIL is still the same. I guess he had a cerebral hemorrhage and they are waiting for his body to take up the blood before they wake him. So many questions here about how he will be if he makes it through. So glad your daughter's flight is delayed, Maureen. Must be nice to have her there with you. Makes you wonder if blizzards and corned beef should be a year round thing after all. Hope everyone is staying safe and warm!!
Love you,
Susan

Dear ladies, now this is a snow storm!!, I bet we have a foot now and it's coming down really heavily right now and with the wind it is coming in sideways. Weatherman said this is the last band of heavy snowfall but we may pick up 4 to 8 more inches. Have had phones calls all day from friends and relatives now living in sensible climes but originally from WNY. Most were seeing the Weather Channel guy, Mike Sidel who was broadcasting from Irondequiot, he is always getting the worst assignments. Debbie you must be getting creamed too. We are all home safe and warm, our first plow came through about a half hour ago, the mail truck got stuck in front of the house next door but he rocked it out. Finished up the corned beef and cabbage left over from yesterday, my GS wouldn't touch it but I had left over roasted chicken for him. Susan - prayers continue for your father-in-law, banana bread sounds really good right now, Maureen, Mere goes out on Saturday? Bless these WNY winters. love, Karen

I am on my way outside to use the snow blower for the THIRD time... It's been snowing since 7am. I had to go to a DRs appt this morning. I got home at 10:30am and it was already pretty nasty out. It's still coming down hard. The weather channel guy is up at the lake... Crappy assignment! No school today for the kid and he is hoping he doesn't have to go tomorrow. So far no one has cancelled school. Some are on a 2 hour delay.... Hope all of you are warm and safe tonight!

Hope everyone survived the March Blizzard. What a storm it was! Schools here were closed for 2 days. (YAY! snow days!)
Jan, sorry you were picked for a civil trial. Hopefully it won't last too long.
Susan, still hoping for the best outcome for your FIL.
Maureen, hope your dark thoughts have lightened a bit for you, but we all have them; whatever the reason.
Karen, thanks for your response to the PM.
Hello to Cheryl, Betty, Colleen & Debbie.
Wishing I lived closer to all of you.........
Stay warm.
Love,
Linda

hello all!
Well, just dropped off my husband at airport today for his journey back to France. He did not buy a return ticket because we have no idea how long he will need to stay. I am very sad, but I encouraged him to go because he needs to be there if and when his dad wakes up. Still the same as far as I know. Will keep you posted. Has Spring come yet? Weather to come looks favorable!
Love,
Susan

I am strong because I know my weaknesses, I am wise because I've been foolish, and I can laugh because I've known sadness ...
Love this, too

nice to meet you, Cd! Join us sometime when you are in town.
Hubs arrived safely. They took my FIL him off the coma drugs. Now to see if He wakes up. I guess it was a pretty massive bleed in the part of the brain that controls everything. Does not look hopeful but you just never know. Thank you for the continued prayers. We appreciate them all. Looking forward to lunch on Saturday.

Hi all you lovely ladies,
Welcome cdelv66 happy you found us. As with Maureen, I also love your saying. I also have had a bmx, if you have any questions let me know and I will try and answer them.
Had corned beef and cabbage yesterday and it was wonderful. Update on what is going on with me: appointment with PS a few weeks back, we are discussing further nipple reconstruction and tattooing. It would consist of two short operations about 4 months apart. Setting up another appointment to find out all the details. Took a nasty fall last week. I missed a couple of steps and went right down on my toes. left foot is still swollen and very sore to walk on, right foot is pretty colors on the big toe, it is better to walk on. I am such a klutz!!!!!! Yesterday I had my yearly appointment w/ oncologist and all looks good. I can't wait to lunch, I miss you all.
Linda and Debbie, I will be in Rochester this weekend. Let me know if you are able to get together Sunday or Monday? I would love to catch up with you both.
Susan, praying for your fil and your family. Hello to everyone and you are in my prayers.
Hugs

hi all! Me again. Well, my father in law is off the coma drugs, and we have had some good signs: first, he seems to be breathing along with the ventilator, second, he has some reflexes back. I guess doc even had him open his eyes momentarily. And he seems to be stressing when Hubby and family try to wake him. So I am thinking he hears them. So, I guess the doctors say these are good signs. Still hopeful. Hubby enjoying the sun and warmth of the south of France so it isn't all terrible. Looking forward to lunch. Hoping everyone can make it!!
