  We had rain for the past few days, but just cloudy today. Some snow predicted for tomorrow. It’s winter so I don’t mind the snow ~ but I don’t like ice~ whew I’ve almost wiped out driving on icy roads... No thank you! Even in winter, we get a stunning sunset every now and then. Sunsets like this have special meaning for me... my husband David would stop whatever he was doing and watch the entire sunset. When I asked him why sunsets were so very special he answered that he had worked in a factory, on the night shift for 20+ years and he only could see a sunset on the weekend. He was 58 at that time. We spent many evenings in lovely silence watching day become night. David passed away the following year. Ever since he’s been gone, I make a special effort to enjoy every sunset possible. I have hundreds of sunset photos... each one is unique, and a gift from our Creator. Start watching and enjoying sunset, it will calm your soul.  Thank you David Fite. You were an artist and a dreamer...

  2021 Already!! Where did 2020 go? whew, it's probably good that it's a new year... 2020 was mostly pandemic, quarantines, etc. etc. I lost my brother Don on June 20, 2020, to MSA (Multiple System Atrophy) similar to Parkinson's disease, only it destroys the patient quicker.... Don was 71. Then on November 1, 2020, my brother-in-law Reece passed from heart failure.  Two weeks later I drove to Hot Springs, Arkansas to be with my sister and help her through the trauma of being a widow. (I have been widowed 2 times). I took Lollie with me, a former puppy mill momma, and rescued by Doris, Jan Roth's mom, but Doris passed in September, at 95 years young. So I adopted Lollie, a 10 yr.old Shih-Tzu. She's very quiet and timid. Forward to today, January 16, 2021.... Lollie is learning:  she barks to go out, or if really hungry. Still jumps at loud noises, but getting better about it. Had a 1" snow yesterday.... today it's gone. Yay that's the kind of snowfall I
