Post Christmas blues blog: BRING ON 2015

So it is on to the next Year.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acxnmaVTlZA

always an important question every year that has never been answered, my favorite kind.

Thanksgiving at home 2014

Thanksgiving at home more pictures to come. Hard to believe my fancy camera's battery was not working so Karla took some.
It has been a good run. I will post when I can. Without going into too much detail my chronic colitis has become more than chronic and I may have to think about surgery this upcoming year as soon as I can am able to meet with my doctors about the procedure. Wish I could say it were not true.
My best wishes to all my friends and family. May God's Peace, love and joy reside with you all.
Isabell

There are none with me in the photos until I get them from Karla..

xoxo as always..:)

Rest in Peace which you so deserve and may God grant your family peace and serenity. The world is truly diminished without your humor and wit and deep commitment to making the world a better place in your unique way.

This is hard to believe for me despite all the battles he had with drugs and depression; he was so caring and funny, and I know God has a special place in His many mansions for Robin. RIP.

Well I just had to post that. I laughed so hard when I heard about that movie; and just fyi: it is pronounced correctly: EZABEL.. yes..

so I am getting my new whirlpool tub installed this week; taking a while and I got my NEW Rose colored glasses to read and work on line with; the new glasses seem to help but I am still limiting my time on line..:) so get some rest people.

And there is nothing like Crazy Love,, did Van Morrison say it or was in Memorex?..xoxo

July first, wow.. the official beginning of summer in my book 2014 and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my very special special friend!!

just woke up from a long coma; the tide rushing to the banks of the Potomac woke me up

and my eye changed colors

Are we there yet? Alexandria is awash with tourists, politics and wildlife and water water water

Ok so I lied, lmao

I couldn't find the photos I wanted so I decided to post a few funnies and amusing photos just to entertain me friends..:)

anyway.. :)

So I thought I would finally get around to December of last year when I actually did get to go to Florida.. yep for a week. when I got back apparently the chimney caved in because it was filled with coal causing my furnace to collapse so I had to have my house furnace replaced, fortunately it happened the day AFTER Christmas and it took two weeks to finally find an HONEST and reputable company to fix it; btw don't ever call FURR or R&B...EVER. Family Air, locally owned by Warren Harlow from the Uptown Lower Alexandria area did a suburb job.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, (here) I had NO heat for two weeks from Christmas all the way through the middle of January, yep.
but that was then and this is now.. and PTL.. all fixed

Back to the photos..:) Starting with the order PRIORITY and anyone who knows me feel free to read between the lines.. :)

Always..:)
