Where All Shoes Go
I love shoes. Maybe it’s a Cindrella thing, you know how one shoe can change your life. Well, maybe, anyway I don’ know how many pairs of shoes I have, and I don’t want to know. Does anyone really care how many shoes someone has? All I know is that they are in every closet of my house, some are in the hall, others in my car in the trunk. I also leave slippers at my daughters house. When I get a little tired of my shoes, I put them in my bag and carry them off to their last stop, my job, right into my shoe bucket under my desk.
Everyday I wear boots or sneakers to work and change into a pair of shoes from my bucket. Sometime, changing shoes again after lunch. Then when I really get tired of them they go into the trash. See Ya’. We are 6 women at work and each of us has a bucket full of shoes under the desk. The men we work with just don’t get it. 🙂
Winter Gloom
Now that the holidays are tucked away in last year’s calendar I begin to look forward to SPRING!
Don’t know about you, but January – March can be awfully cold and dreary. Every day I look for the evening light, little by little it hangs around longer and longer. I was told that after December 21st it gets lighter each day by a full minute…Day by day…just love it. Yes, it is starting to get brighter and brighter each day, but the cold is also getting colder and colder. 
Right now we are experiencing a cold wave…you know saying “cold wave” just sounds so burrry cold…who wants a wave along with the cold… how about when they say, “There is a cold front”. I can’t help but wonder what is happening in the back, a warm back? Well, no matter what word you attach to cold it still a chilling word…
Now love a summer chill. Yes!
Of course, everyone is complaining about this COLD.
I don’t understand why. I mean we are living in the Northeast and the calendar indicates that we are smack into…. WINTER!
When did we become so soft? Hey, in my book we are ahead of the game, no real big snow storms.
Now that is something to complain about.
Snow, snow, snow and more snow is more annoying than cold, cold, cold, and more cold. At least we don’t have to shovel the cold.
All in all, as all things, this soon will end…as the days go by we’re getting closer to spring, and better yet summer…so for now I will brace the Winter Gloom…and look forward to the summer winds….

Let’s Go To The Park! Easy Hot Chocolate Mix
The first thing my grandkids say to me the minute I walk in the door is “Grandma, can you take us to the park?” I love a park from growing up in the city – our favorite one is on 35 Street between First & Second Avenue. Both Merci and I and our sisters and friends spent hours and hours playing or hanging out. Here is a photo of us hanging out 🙂
Ha, what a crew !……Anyway, as long as it is not raining (because they want to go, no matter the weather) I try to get them to the park for a hour or so.
It was early in the day and the kids had the park to themselves. Natalie is the climber. (Imaging me yelling).
It was a great day for a car race! This is very serious stuff – lots of concentration needed. (Imagine me rooting!!!)
A good time working up to some hot chocolate – I am so ready 🙂 (Imagine me shivering)
