Gina and Pat

Me and Nube

Gina Feeding With Kizzy (a few days ago)

Gina With Her Mare Toots

We checked out the eclipse last night, at first there were clouds, but Gina saw part of it later after I went to bed. Guess I should have gotten up, but I didn't. Today started off about 0 degrees, then we had a clear, sunny and warm afternoon. More thawing on the streets, but it didn't ever get above freezing.

Another busy day. After scraping the frost off the windshield we were out of here before 9 a.m. and dropped my SUV off at the Express Auto Care for servicing. Gina drove us down to the Retirement Center and we saw Pat before our Mixed Media Meeting started, then over to haul in and set up our art supplies at Rendezvous Pointe. I'd say about a dozen of the members showed up, and we had non stop visiting while we all painted. All the artists accomplished a lot today, and it was enjoyable to see everyone and the artwork they did.

We had lunch there - salad, beef or chicken enchaladas, chips and garnishes, and fruit salad. Some of us, me included, had vanilla frozen NON FAT yogurt. Back to the art room for an afternoon session of creating. I took a photo of my pastel to show you, but it turned out too fuzzy, so I'll photograph it in better light in the morning and put it in tomorrow. We picked up my vehicle and came on back to Gina's. We both looked at our email and Gina fed the horses. Then made us a spaghetti dinner. Bob had flown doing the air quality testing again, so he enjoyed his day too.

I've finished two books since I've been here and about halfway through another one. Right now am reading Teton Tales by Paul Petzoldt, and have finished Hope Rising and The Butterfly and the Diving Bell. Soon will be ready for bed, am all relaxed and sleepy. In the morning we're supposed to meet Lois and Melita by 9 a.m. at the aquatic center to swim.

February 22, 2008 Dear Lynn!

I have just watched the absolutely wonderful pictures on your blog. It was heartbreaking to see you and Nube but still I am so happy that you two are together.

As you alreade know, I am thinking of you all the time.

I can't believe all the snow you have gotten. Over here we only had had two snowfalls during the entire winter! I have never before experienced such a warm winter and today I even heard the first CRANES!!! Can you believe that one of our neighbors showed us her blooming rosebushes on Christmas Eve!!! The spring will start extremely early this year. It is so strange since we are located much higher up than you but still we have such different winters. I would think that we are the ones who should have these cold snowy winters but the reality is the opposite.

You great friend Gina looks so nice and kind. I am sure whe is taking care of you very well. Please say hello to her from me.

Please take care Lynn. I love you and pray for you every day.

Lots of hugs from Lena

Hello Lynn, and hello to Gina too! I read this yesterday, but just didn't have the time to write. I'm delighted that you could get together with the Mixed Media group. I can just imagine that the chat was non-stop! Can't wait to see your pastel. The pictures you have added are gorgeous. My daughter was here last night and we sat here and looked at them, (and chatted not stop)! Thank you for sharing your part of the world with us.

Nube looks like he misses you so. It was heart breaking to see. But like Lena, it is good that you two can say hello regularly for a while now.

Hugs to you and Gina. I'm glad you are in such good care.

Love you, Judy
