Wet Socks on the Bedpost Overnight!

I was lucky enough to get the family cold virus that was running through the family this week. So I also used my favorite son-in-laws remedy to get the head unplugged. It really works! This is the first time I have tried it, you wear a pair of wet socks covered with a pair of dry socks to bed overnight. It cleared out my head, but now it has dropped into my chest. Oops, my chest really dropped a few years ago, but the congestion is what I was referring to.

Crazy January is almost over, this is my difficult time at work with all of my application deadlines due. My sweet husband has been sick too the first few weeks of the month, and I pretty much ignored him when I came home from work from mental fatigue. Now he has been spoiling me the last few days with cleaning the stove and oven and fixing meals for me too. I am really blessed to have him in my life.

Snow, Snow, Snow

We have been told by people who live in the valley, that we will not have bad back to back winters! We are having another bad winter. We were snowed in on Christmas Day until 6:00 Pm, we left for two hours and had to return home as more snow was falling. It is beautiful when the sun is out on the mountains, but has been very cold for the past week. I guess you cant live in the mountains and not expect snow. We did enjoy the holidays with all of the family in town, except my Montana boy. He was fortunate enough to get away on a cruise to Mexico a few days after Christmas, but we did miss him being with all of us.
It was great to have all of the grandchildren here and take some new pictures of them together. Some of us were sick too, but over all it was a great time.

My brother was born 60 years ago today in the middle of a winter storm. My mom had to remain in the hospital for two weeks, before they could make it back home. I cant believe I now have two brother's in there sixties! I guess it beats the alternative, as my husband says, six feet under! I hope one day we can all have great health, happiness, and a sound mind when we are in our eighties!
