February 15

 This has been a very snowy winter. People have been talking about the "extreme" winter weather. I have to wonder if we are to expect "extreme" summer weather this summer. You know, very very hot. I enjoy very cold and not so much very hot.

We got more than this but not a whole lot. 

One thing that has been happening is that my half brother J is in the ICU in a hospital in Colorado.  He went in last Sunday night. He has COPD and smokes too. He wouldn't respond so they put him in the hospital.

Now he has a ventilator, is in an induced coma and has elevated amounts of CO2 in his blood. Poor guy. Every day we have been calling out to the hospital to check his status. So far not much change. We are praying. He's just 46! I am thinking that one of my sisters and I will need to ride out there to see him when he  wakes  

Well- I am getting sleepy. I need a nap plus I thought I'd share a picture I found that was so cool. In the spirit of recycling.  

a recycled piano!

Adios now! Oh by the way... it's snowing outside again as I type!!
