Gina was taking an afternoon nap on New Year’s Eve before the festivities. After she woke up, she confided to Max, her husband, “I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a New Year’s present. What do you think it all means?”
“Aha, you’ll know tonight,” answered Max smiling broadly.
At midnight, as the New Year was chiming, Max approached Gina and handed her a small package. Delighted and excited she opened it quickly.
There in her hand rested a book entitled: “The Meaning of Dreams.”

That all for today everyone. Since this my first post this year, then I say, Happy New Year!

Greetings everyone and Happy Sunday! We have another nice, sunny day here, though it continues to be cold, reaching down to about -35F (-38C) this morning. It has since warmed up to -13F (-25C) with that light breeze factored in. Safe to say it was just plain cold today, as it was yesterday. But having that sun shining does make a person feel good, even with the cold outside. Nice and warm inside though.

A nice pink and white rose.
My plants are all doing well and enjoying some sunshine finally. And Muffin is very happy to have her sunshine back again and she follows it around the room. Enjoy today’s flower, have a great day everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
