Winter Vacation

The pictures above sent by Sheila Mary who is back on the ranch enjoying ranch life and actually participating in all of the round ups .   Who says you cannot have a winter vacation and enjoy every minute of it.    She will have many tales to tell when she gets back home next week.    She has had some weather to keep her in but she managed to find time in the kitchen and cook a big meal for the family and guests.   Sheila Mary is  bright and beautiful and loves to share herself with  all who come into her life.     

Here are Angie's two dogs all dressed up for winter weather.   After all you have to dress warmly if you want to walk out on the beach every day.   They sure are cuties.

The big storm finally got around to us in the middle of the night.  I woke up to one lamp on, one of those touch type lamps on the computer desk.   It wasn't on a three a.m. but it sure was at four a.m., a mystery.   Maybe the wires for the computer are close to the windows along with the wire for the lamp.  The wind was blowing so hard it must have blown the curtain and it touched the lamp.   Unless Mortimer, our old lost ghost of the past has caught up with me again.    Whenever the children had a problem with a breakage or two, 'Mortimer' always did it.   He was a very busy ghost who spilled milk, broke things and kept us all very busy cleaning up his messes.  I forgot to put the garbage cans in the back area ; wonder if they blew down the street.  Oh the things I will find when I get dressed and go outside and look around.   There was a notice on Facebook this morning that there was a lot of damage on the ranch from winds that got up to ninety miles an hour in Nevada.  I will have to check on son Michael and see how he made out in his trailer.   There sure isn't much one can do until the winds die down.  

So hopefully you didn't have heavy stormy winter weather and will go about sharing and caring this weekend.   Find reasons to smile, there are so many if you just take time to look around.    Be a ray of sunshine and shine.  Hugs to all.
