It is a nice perspective of frozen cars parked alongside the lake, a trail through snow-covered woods, a trail through sunlit woods and trees alongside the sunny lake. As I look out our window the house across the street still has the icicle decorations outlining their home with the bright sun defining them.
I am sure others may look out their windows and see the real thing -- i.e. icicles that will someday melt as opposed to the ones that have to be removed and saved for next year.
It is all -- relative. Speaking of relatives, most days I receive updates for certain search surnames e.g. HILES. This week I received a newspaper obituary for a distant HILES relative, the first of 2018.
The above article appeared in the Logan, Ohio newspaper and relates the information about a 4th Cousin of ours Gary M Hiles. Prior to receiving this notice, I only knew of Gary's parents, Walter and Dorothy.
Because obituaries usually are filled with details of the family and this one is an example, I was able to add Gary and his wife, Marilyn, and their two children, Heath & Heather to the HILES Family Tree. I feel bad that we had to "meet" this way but extend my sympathies to that family.
Unfortunately, we have returned the glasses as we could never get them to focus correctly. We wanted to enjoy some 3-D type traveling excursions and other photo diversions but it appears that we may have to wait for advancements to come to the VR field.
But it was fun trying -- NOT. Instead, Gail has focused on something that she loves doing -- needlepoint work.
She finished a few smaller items that now have been sent to the "finishing" department and is awaiting a new piece that should arrive next week. She has changed her attention to smaller in size projects that won't take "forever" to complete.
So far it has been a sleep-aid so-to-speak for especially Gail. We are through several chapters and nothing earth shattering has been revealed, nothing that is, that we have not already heard on the news . . .
It's like a movie trailer -- sometimes that's the best that it gets . . .
We will "stick it out" or at least I will and probably by then more "live" happenings will have replaced the tales and remarks found in the book . . .
It is hopefully one thing that can allow us to escape from the "other" news these days.
We will watch at least parts of each of the four games in the next two days.
I do have to say though that we also watched the college championship game the other night -- and it was almost as exciting as the Rose Bowl game.
And both college games that we recently have seen have been more exciting than any of the pro games -- maybe today and tomorrow will change that -- we look forward to that.
And lastly, just what can you glean from genetic research, well things like what the Zits comic says:
And so it is, there actually is so much more that can be gleaned, but it is so "right-on".
That is a bit of our week, see you all "in a few"! 👫
