I cropped the orbs out of the top of the photo and enhanced them because I could barely see the one on top. This was taken in the driveway.
----------------------------------------------
Thursday, January 12, 2012 - Whenever I see two orbs, I always assume that it's Andrew and Jarrett saying HI to me.

Crazy people like to live in their own little wacky world. haha

It's supposed to snow all night. They said how many inches we had in Elburn, but I missed it. Oh well, I shoveled for an hour but I knew that it needed the snow blower treatment. later, djb

Here are the boys' candles at 12:22 p.m. Hey, where's the road?
----------------------------------------------
Thursday, January 12, 2012 - Not too long after I took this photo, the snow plow came through so now there's a ribbon of darkness in the whiteness.

I'm having so much fun. I just made a meatloaf for supper. Did the dishwasher, washed some towels and dried them (in the dryer). I get so antsy when we have "weather."

Can't wait to go out and shovel the driveway. It's gotten quite a bit colder but I have enough warm clothing to keep me toasty. This is very pretty.

When I listen to the radio, every time there's a situation on the roads, another truck has jack-knifed. They need to slow down. Personally, I don't drive in snow. later, djb

Here's the front yard which shows Andrew and Jarrett's candles with just a little bit of snow at 8:46 a.m.
-----------------------------------------------
Thursday, January 12, 2012 - I figured I could take pictures during the day of the snowfall. So, here's my first one of the front yard. You can still see the grass...for now.

Oh yeah, I always take a picture of the driveway. I should go do that. After I took the photo of the pool, I changed the time on my camera. Now, it's correct.

Right, like anyone really cares but me. snow ya later, djb

Here's Joan, Judy and Bob at Rosita's on Saturday night.
------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, January 10, 2012 - The phone rang at 4:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon -- it was Joan. She said that Bob and Judy were moving some stuff around between storage facilities.

They were tired and hungry so did we want to meet them at Rosita's... of course, the answer to that is always YES

Of the three pictures I took of the three of them, this one was the best. I always tell Bob that I'm taking the picture for Uncle Gale and Aunt Mary Ellen so he can rest assured that I'm not selling it to the media. haha!

And I'm a member of an exclusive group because I have a picture of Bob Berg SMILING.

Rosita's. What more can I say? Muy bueno. see ya later, djb

This afternoon (at 1:10 p.m.), I brought some flowers to the grave in remembrance of Jarrett's birthday.
----------------------------------------------
Tuesday, January 3, 2012 - When I stopped at the grocery store to get Jarrett's flowers, I was saddened to see that they didn't have ORANGE ones, so I had to get red. Oh well, Jarrett liked to wear red, too.

It's a cold, sunny January day for his birthday. Actually, it's a lot better today than the past couple of days!

Happy Birthday, saintly boy. Love you, Mom

Here's Jarrett and Andrew on Grandma and Grandpa's patio doing their homework.
----------------------------------------------
Tuesday, January 3, 2010 - This time of year, for many years, the boys and I would go to Florida to get warm and get over our colds and sore throats.

We had SO MUCH fun!!! Usually, it was warm. Although, today, it's going to get to freezing in Casselberry. Brrrr.

I remember one year, we had to wear our winter coats for a few days. The memories. Happy Boofday, Jarrett. love you, mom

Jarrett's Chess Championship award from 2003
----------------------------------------------
Tuesday, January 3, 2012 - Happy Boofday, Jarrett!

All of a sudden this morning, I realized that I never took a picture of this award that Jarrett won during the two months of 2003 that he was alive.

Of course, he wished he'd won FIRST PLACE. But considering the fact that they had only recently found out about these special High School Chess Coach's tournaments, it is amazing that he managed to get second place.

The day he and Andrew were buried, he was supposed to be at THE high school chess tournament down in Champaign or Springfield for all the schools in Illinois.

If he was still alive, we might have a beer together. haha Forever in my heart. Love you, honey, your mama
