Friday's Five....

Yesterday's Economic Forecast Breakfast was very interesting, and uplifting. The economy is beginning to turn around now that Obama is on his way out. Slow growth, but growth is coming. Mathematically proven that a smaller government brings jobs, and big government brings unemployment. The data was clear, and as soon as they make the video available on their website, I will post it here for you to see, if you want to watch it.  Non-partisan economists.





When I woke up yesterday morning, this is what I found on top of me!!  Onyx is nearly always on me or on my pillow (and he is doing much better, though still not eating well), but the big deal is, Vinny was sleeping on me! He is still hesitant about coming in our room, because of Lilly and Lucy. This is a giant leap for him!!


My sister, Tammy, and her husband, Bruce, are planning a trip down next month, and our son, Joey and wife Darlene will be down toward the end of the month!! February will be a wonderful family month for us!!

The dining room is filling up with bedroom and office stuff. I haven't started purging yet, but have another week to get things sorted through as we start to put things away, after the floors are in. Sigh. Poor Joe has done so much heavy lifting without me.

My hair is really short now. The new barber who is cutting my hair, until Teena is able to come back to work, really took off a lot of hair!  He happens to be Teena's son, by the way.  He gave me a great cut, but I am needing a few days to get used to it.  At least six  people have told me how much they like it shorter, though. Hmmmmm....

I think that is five tidbits for this Friday!! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great Friday!! Peace, love & hugs!

  1. Cute picture of the cats! Our cat comes into our room when our daughter isn't home, otherwise he stays with her.
    The breakfast talk sounds interesting.
    You'll have to share a picture of the haircut. It's always harder to get used to a new cut on yourself, but I bet it looks cute!

  5. My Cali would sleep on my head, and has in past, but he now sleeps in the utility room, on top of the fridge out there..likes it up high I guess. I would be interested in seeing the video when it is available. I know your haircut looks good, cause you are like me....short is best. Hope you have a good weekend, and not work so much you hurt your back.

  6. I will come back in just a second to read your post. I just came from blog friend, Arlene's, blog and want to share the link with you. Her husband is having knee replacement and I thought you would want to read her post. http://arlenegrimm.blogspot.com/2014/01/getting-ready.html

  8. Things won't really improve until O'Blammer is out of office or in handcuffs (I vote for both). Janet Yellen is worse than Helicopter Ben and, get this, thinks that inflation is good for the country!!?? She's evil too or incredibly stupid. These people hate us, they hate prosperity. Until they're gone, it'll be the Same 'Ol Same 'Ol.

    I didn't know y'all had cats! They're very pretty. We used to have three of them but now only have dogs.

    Hope your knee is feeling better today. God bless. ~:)

  12. i love my hair cut off super short and really must go to have it done soon.
    That's such a sweet photo of the boys. You've probably mentioned this before, but I was wondering how old Onyx was.

    1. Brenda, Onyx will be 14 this year (14, in 2014). He should still have a few more years with us, if we can keep him healthy!
