Warm Greetings

DEER friends,
I hope you are staying warm.
With shortages and inflation
it's often difficult to find food.
It's so nice when others help feed those in need. 
While you wait for the snow to melt, write someone a letter!
It's a great indoor activity. 
Maybe join this Pen Pal Club:
I love sending greetings with Susan Branch cards 
and one of a kind Pepper Said postcards.
And I love receiving mail!
Valentines are always fun to give and get. 
Are yours ready to mail or give to love ones?

Making art is a great winter past time. 

Viewing art is enriching too!
Covid is really testing my patience. 
Snacks and tasty meals help.




Curling up with a warm puppy on your lap is therapeutic. 
Chocolate always stimulates creativity!
Are you getting enough?
Are you able to get out and see some friends?
Stay safe, but put in the effort to stay connected.

Books, movies, shows and music all make cabin fever easier to withstand. 


Betty White would have been 100 on January 17, 2022.
Life's ups and downs are puzzling. 


Find ways to be grateful. 
That will warm you heart.
Keep the peace.

Be crafty!
Are you getting enough exercise and fresh air?
Bundle up and get out there!
Walking in a mall (maul) is free, and WARM, with NO ICE to slip on!


My favorite four letter word shows up a lot in January.
But thrifting and antiquing are still my favorite ways to bargain shop!


May as well use my antibodies from last month's Covid.
I LOVE TO TRAVEL!!!
So, next month I'm getting out of Chiberia and heading south.
Palm trees here I come!

I hope you had a good month and have something to look forward to!
It's always ICE to HANG OUT with you all.
Thanks for stopping by!
