Figured I'd move one of my space heaters into the hall to hopefully help warm the area and blew a fuse. Not sure which one..can't tell by just looking so am waiting for my neighbokr to get home to take a look for me. I am not happy with this cold..........
Everything is up and going again. Neighbor showed me how to work the fuse box and the hot water pipe finally thawed. Yes!! Now dinner tonight with my work, hope I can make it that late!!

Are you back to work already?!???
Glad the pipes werent burst.
Is your friend gone now?
I feel as if I have missed some important updates.
cyn - are you already back to work? Baby that shoulder as much as you can, unless your doctor has given you the go-ahead to fully use it, of course. Best recovery wishes to you!
No work yet...sigh...just dinner with my co-workers last night. I can take the sling off on the 13th and see the doctor on the 19th but he said I won't be able to drive my stick shift right away and Joyce needs to get home soon for her own doctors appointments--and she misses her family of course. Wish I could do more for her for all she has done. I think she is staying until around the 19th so I will be stuck at home until I can drive and no work until then too--ugh.. That will be another adjustment for me but I'm working on getting into my routine here around home. My home is warm, my fur-babies are fed and walked and for now I still have Joyce here. Hope everyone has a blessed day!

Thats all progress cyn. You are most definately "making it".
today January 8th was my late sisters birthday. It's been more than a few years since she died.....but anniversary dates enliven memories. I am reminded of the poem by Rosemary Benet (with husband, Stephen Vincent Benet) – about Abe Lincoln's mother Nancy Hanks, (My nephew's name is Abraham, which makes this poem even more poignant for me).
If Nancy Hanks
Came back as a ghost,
Seeking news
Of what she loved most,
She’d ask first “Where’s my son?
What’s happened to Abe?
What’s he done?”
“Poor little Abe,
Left all alone
Except for Tom,
Who’s a rolling stone;
He was only nine
The year I died.
I remember still
How hard he cried.”
“Scraping along
In a little shack,
With hardly a shirt
To cover his back,
And a prairie wind
To blow him down,
Or pinching times
If he went to town.”
“You wouldn’t know
About my son?
Did he grow tall?
Did he have fun?
Did he learn to read?
Did he get to town?
Do you know his name?
Did he get on?”
My sister would be very proud to know that her boy went on to seminary and became an ordained minister and married his HS sweetheart and they have a beautiful family (you have 5 grandchildren) and they live in a small New England town and Abe is building a house for them out in the woods.
