HOLA,

We got snow a few days ago so I made a short video.

This morning we are getting more snow but light.  I need to get out and go grocery shopping before too long, while few are on the roads.

Still looking for a part-time job but no calls yet.

They screwed up my retirement application for the little money I will get from the hospital.   My manager was quick to fire me but never took me out of the payroll system, so the retirement people couldn't start my process for the money.  I finally got a call this morning that she will e-mail me the papers to get my money.  I need it ASAP, as I have used the savings I took out to pay my half of the household bills.  She said there was no excuse for not doing that, since I was let go July 10th!!! Wonder if  HE will get written up?  Probably not!

Will get some snow pictures in a few minutes of today's snowfall.

HOLA!

Started this new year out back on the upswing to being well after 3 horrible days of a cold/flu crap thing.

Lost some weight because my taste buds were totally off so nothing tasted right.

Missed a lot of Zumba classes and probably won't be back till this Sat.  :(

Here are some pictures of our first snow for 2014.  It is still coming down at almost noon.

I did get up and out at 8:30 this morning and shoveled the driveway and our sidewall on both sides of our part.  Elita will have to shovel again before she goes to work at 1:15 today.

NIEVE

Will go to Wal-Mart later once they plow our road and get some more cold stuff, unless I feel better by then.  I at least needs some more Cherry Halls.

Hola,

We had a very nice Christmas with a teeny bit of snow left from the day before.

We got practical gifts and Elita got a new laptop as her previous one was long overdue to be replaced.

NAVIDAD

We went to candlelight service Christmas Eve.  I was able to take a pretty good picture of the 3 of us before we left.

Hope everyone is doing well.  There are still some without power across the country and I pray they get it soon.

HOLA

This past Thursday Elita got her hair relaxed.   They don't have a place in Athens that does her type of hair, so she had about 3 new inches that needed to be relaxed.

They trimmed off 2 inches of the older hair so it looks about the same length.

They gave her a "waterfall" haircut, long layers, as she is trying to grow the shorter layers out.

Hair

Rainy weather now.  I wanted snow for Christmas but if we get any it will be long after Christmas.

No part-time job yet but still looking.  Maybe my chances will be better after the New Year.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

I miss my Xanga friends who did not stay.  :(

Hola,

We got 4 more inches this morning.  Got a little bit of rain a bit ago.  No Zumba class this morning as the roads were not good enough for me to chance it.  Will go tomorrow afternoon.

SNOW

Larry took Elita to work as this would be her first time really driving in this much snow.

Going to get a few things done around the house while I watch some cooking shows on Food Network.

Hola,

Today Elita is 22.  She has come a long way in college, through ups and downs.

Praying her finals weeks goes well.  We will be looking forward to her finishing up her last year.  She has an extra semester as she did an internship this summer so she will walk with her class in May but get her diploma later on.

BIRTHDAY GIRL

Does anybody know how we can find out who is still on Xanga?  I miss my Xanga friends being on here.  :(

Frozen snow still on the ground here.  Going out for a 1 mile walk soon and then, Lord willing, Jorge's Zumba class tonight at 5:30.

Hola.

Want to go here again in the Spring.

GRAND LAKE ST. MARY'S, CELINA, OH

It was windy and cold but I am sure I will get a lot of nice pictures in the Spring.

Going to get a cut Christmas Tree this afternoon and then in for the night, as they keep predicting a big storm for us.

We will see.

The temps have dropped from 60 this morning to now 39 at 3:35!!

Enjoy the season everyone and don't get too busy to remember what it's really about.

HOLA!

It is finally December and the time for Christmas!!  I think this is the most important Christian holiday because if we never had Christmas we wouldn't have Easter!!  :)

I have been looking around for Christmas songs in Spanish that are usually in English and other songs I have sung that I can find in Spanish.

I will be so happy when Elita is home for Christmas break.   She has had some struggles with classes and it will be a welcome break for her.

We won't have Charlie this year but I know that he is in Heaven and having a ball.  He was a one in a million doggie.

Will get a cut tree maybe next Monday.

Going to have Larry get the decorations out of the storage space over the garage and get the tree holder down for the cut tree.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hola

Lots of busy squirrels in the park a few days ago.   They were gathering nuts and eating hedgeapples.

ARDILLAS

SQUIRREL

We saw more this morning but I didn't have my camera with me.

Have an appt. for an interview with Chipotle in our town on next Tues. at 3:30.  Not going to get my hopes up but if I do get hired it will be part-time and only 10 mins. from my house so it shouldn't affect my Social Security when I get that approved.

HOLA

Yesterday Larry and I raked and bagged 14, 33 gallon bags of leaves from the back yard and took them to the dropoff site.

The vacuum truck has gotten the ones on the front but won't be around for a while.

Buried some of the frozen cherry tomatoes in the hope they will reseed next spring.  I still have some ripening in the window sill.  Not bad, tomatoes in November!  :)

Zumba at 10 am this morning.   We are going to get some bad rain and wind tomorrow so I hope no damage to anything.

We donated our last van to Goodwill for tax purposes.   I will miss that one too as we made a lot of memories in both of them.  :)

With this Nobamacare train wreck more people are losing their jobs and now the hospital where I used to work has dropped coverage for spouses if they have insurance somewhere else.   Never used to be a problem and people had opted to NOT use spouse's insurance in most cases because the hospital offered a better plan.  Just another ploy to keep the almighty dollar and no concern for the employees.

Everyone have a good weekend and don't forget to be thankful.  :)
