THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

I have been thinking....and after considerable thinking decided to make my Monday's Toughts for the week. I get them in my e-mails along with words every day, got that from my "so smart" niece ERMA (lol) and decided that everyone could use a great inspirational thought to get them thinking on Monday mornings...and carry it through the week with them. So with that, I am putting 2 GOOD thoughts on for today because...I needed them, and hopefully, some of you will find "thought" in them too!
TOUGHT:
"Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything - whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self come out." (Tina Turner)
THOUGHT:
"The first step toward change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. That's all you have to do. Change is not something you do, it's something you allow". (Will Garcia)(whoever that is!)

ok you try and pronounce it! Go for it....to sum it up, it is the fear of the number 13. Yeah you got it. FEAR ohhhhhh scary...... #13, #13, #13,
and today folks is FRIDAY THE 13TH. Hope you are having an UNFEARFUL day! Here are some fun maybe, facts about this day....Just look at the fact that many U.S. buildings are without a 13th floor. Even in our day-to-day lives, 12 rules. We have 12 zodiac signs, 12 months in a year and 12 hours on a clock.

Common superstitions:
- Walking under a ladder (don't)
- Throwing salt over your shoulder (do) I still do this to this day!


- Black cat crossing your path (don't)
- Groom seeing the bride the morning of the wedding (don't) I did and look what happened???? bought me 38 years of BLISS!
- Saying "God bless you" after someone sneezes (do) NEVER COULD FIGURE THAT OUT
- Telling someone to "break a leg" before a performance (do)
- Finding a four-leaf clover (do)USE TO SCAVANGE THROUGH THE LAWN FOR HOURS LOOKING!
- Carrying a rabbit's foot (do)

OK SO NOW THAT BEING SAID and this being MY month of GOOD LUCK

Whatever you do on this Friday the 13th, you should probably steer clear of Camp Crystal Lake. After all, Jason, the notorious mass murderer from the "Friday the 13th" movies, has made it overwhelmingly clear for nearly 30 years that it is bad luck to hang out on his turf! oohhh scary!
(some thoughts, some quotes from msnbc)

North Carolina Snow

I am so lucky to live in a beautiful place on this planet where if it snows...it melts the same day or next day...and although it is cold it certainely doesn't chill you to the bone like the Carolina snows do.
With that humidity and all it can get very cold. Natalie is use to snow. She was raised in snow so when they get "snow" it is a big deal to everyone except Nat! She laughs because they shut the schools down for 2 days...then rips her hair out because they shut the schools down for 2 days! lol.
She can drive in snow, she can drive in many feet of snow and it doesn't bother her, but people panic and run to the store and buy everything out because they are paralyzed by 3 or 4 inches lol. Too funny...for those of us who know what REAL SNOW is like.
Bozley (the dog) even entered the picture, hope he didn't yellow the snowman lol UMM Spring has sprung in St. George, and to prove it...here are some beautiful buds that are coming into their elements! These are the pansies that were planted last summer and are still blooming and reblooming from the same plants...
I love the Spring in St. George. My yard looks so good already, thanks to my husband who has a green thumb and a knack for making our home look beautiful!




So...like I said, and please don't get me wrong...
Spring has SPRUNG!

I am so lucky!

this month I am going to talk about LUCK...and to start off...I don't have any Irish in me, or at least I don't think I do...I will have to ask brother Hans if our heritage goes anywhere around Ireland...but I do know that Bob does... his great grandparents were from Ireland...O'Higgins and the "O" was dropped after a couple of generation in America....so, after 38 years of being married to an Irish decendant...I think I have the liberty of saying I am part Irish! lololol, I am not to hard to please and I can get a little overwhelmed at times when I have tooo many choices so...this cute background was my first choice after only looking at 3 green backgrounds...I might get daring and do a couple of different ones throughout the LUCKY MONTH...I do have 2, YES 2 grandsons, born on the exact day of the month only hours apart...Ryan and Kyler Higgins on March 17th...so I will be doing a little St. Patrick tribute to my adorable green babies! but first....
Koltyn is getting into everything...he is as big as a laundry basket nowclimbing up stairs and keeping his parents on their guard
getting into drawers and "stuff" but most of all . . .playing peek-a-boo, and being adorable. Kyler sorta plays with him...as much as a big brother can
but Kolytn's job is to just be adorable
Full tank of gas to Erda...$27.51...Shopping with Camille and Lauren, visiting my sister Terrie and Valerie on Saturday (cost Camille ... $100 plus)... just hanging out with papa after a busy day,PRICELESS...
the triple trouble crew had a birthday party they attended on Friday night...it was a theme party...dress up as your favorite hero's and the girls were asked to come as a princess...well that wasn't hard for Lauren she is princess every day, Owen decided that he was Super Man and showed me how he could fly, Ryan went as Buzz Light Year, and showed me how he could fly.


has anyone ever wondered how to get kids to eat cereal that is good for them? Well if you are a cowboy like Owen is, it isn't hard at all. He loves cows (they wander grandpas field behind their house)Owen knows that hay is good for cows, cows LOVE hay, and Papa eats special bales of hay for breakfast. . . so now Owen does! mini bales of hay that is, coated with special sugar of course! lol

The weather in beautiful southern Utah is in the upper 60's. I love that Spring is just around the corner....so watch out for my "Spring" flash!
