How you feel is ok
🛞 Saturday 11/29/25 🛞 Good morning, my beloved snowbird. Are you nice and warm today?? 🛞 I am!!! Snuggled here at V’s in a nice warm blanket. 🛞 Yesterday was an uneventful trip from Independence, Missouri to Omaha. And I was practically on the road before remembering that my Blue Angel had Arizona summer tires on her. Totally not winter worthy! 🛞 So my best bet was to get my tires replaced as soon as I got to Omaha. Discount Tire said come on in! I was grateful for that

🍁Monday 11/24/25 🍁Good morning sunshine 🌞 How are you today? 🍁I am grateful for the ability to roll over and get an extra 1.5 hours of sleep!! It’s rainy and we have plans to stay home at K’s 👏👏👏 🍁Yesterday, after checking out of the hotel, 14 of us met for breakfast at Cracker Barrel.

Northern Lights IN IOWA!!
💚 Monday 11/17/25 🤍 Good Monday afternoon, my dear heart 💜 How was your weekend? 💙 Mine was very relaxing. First time in a month that I have felt good about doing NOTHING!! Yup, I still have floors to scrub, etc, but it felt sooo good to just sit still! 💚 I watched a bunch of Hallmark Christmas movies, did a bit of phone work, like checking my steps for this past week. We did pretty good, between 2,000 and 6,000. Even if they weren’t logged cause I forgot my phone at hom

Awesome Northern Lights
# 2 Wednesday 11/12/25 I found soooo many pics of the Aurora Borealis, decided to send a special report… from Alaska to Nebraska to N Carolina… hope you get a chance to see them! And Yes, the northern lights are forecast to be visible again tonight, November 12, 2025, but viewing conditions will be impacted by cloud cover. The best chance for viewing will be between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, and you should look low on the northern horizon away from city lights.
