I wonder what today will bring? Sounds like a good day for Donna!
AQUARIUS January 20-February 17
You must choose between what you want and the greater good. Usually you put your personal wants on hold, but this time the Stars show that the greater good can wait.
When we went to bed it was snowing and there was a dusting on the ground. Just enough wet to freeze on the windshield and make everyone at least 10 minutes latesince they had to clear off their windshields with ice scrapers, or my case an old credit card that I didn’t care if it snapped in half – and sure enough, it did. (I think there is a message in there, somewhere.)
So this morning, the ground is covered with a very thin coating of white stuff and it is still snowing. I’m sure schools are closed everywhere and Kroger has had a run on its milk, bread, eggs and toilet paper. Funny how we could have gotten along today without all that milk, bread, eggs and toilet paper, but since it is snowing we MUST have those things.
I was NOT one of those Kroger lemmings, thank you very much. I go shopping once a week and know how to plan my menus ahead and have everything on hand for the week, plus a little extra in case of, hmm, maybe snow? or even better the unexpected drop in of guests who I want to have stay for dinner. I have a great pantry and I keep it well stocked because we love to eat well and I like to prepared for anything.
Just read about a planned entertainment complex for southern Alabama similar to the hugely popular tourist destination in Branson, MO. The planned complex will have hotels, restaurants, performance venues, a midway and an RV park.
This is exciting news for people in the southeast. They haven’t had anything like it and the influx of tourists and their dollars plus the nearby quality performances by big name stars will certainly improve the quality of life for many people throughout alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, as well as other areas within a day’s drive of Dothan.
The country music resort will be called, “Country Crossing,” and groundbreaking is expected later this year.
I tend to ignore all the news stories about the candidates. who is bashing who and who is slinging mud at the other just does not interest me.
What I need to know is how do the candidates stand on certain key issues, like abortion rights and the problems we are facing with the invasion of illegal aliens.
Here is a site I like that gives the facts on how the candidates have voted previously on key issues and quotes from speeches they have made. Although the focus of the site is actually religion, the section on “Compare Candidates” is not slanted toward religious issues. I found it very helpful to get a better picture of who best represents my personal feelings on the issues of today and who deserves my vote.

Decided to take advantage of the President’s Day sales and go shopping today. Went to the outlet mall and picked up a couple Big Dog shirts for hubby. Tried to find my cologne, Realities by Liz Claiborne, but the Liz store didn’t have any – just lots of the Curve fragrances. I really like the Realities and am holding off buying anything else until I check around town a few more places. Sure hope they haven’t discontinued it – that would bite.
Wrapped up the day at Dilliards and lucked into a great find. There’s a new line of jeans called, NYDJ, which stands for “not your daughter’s jeans.” These are an upscale, stylish jean with special features for a more mature woman, which I very much appreciate. They fit perfectly and look HOT! They are usually just over $100, but I got a pair at 20% off. Thank you very much George Washington!
