Fluffy hat and ice

It has been very very cold here lately and I was hoping that the Kennebec would be frozen over by now from bank to bank but instead there are small chunks of ice just floating back and forth in the tide.  The weather man says we will have snow tomorrow. I guess there are enough clouds in the sky to supply some pretty determined snow…………….and I guess we will go into the archives either way.  With it being so  cold, I am very thankful that we have a mission that keeps un in out of the cold.

I wear my Alpaca hat everywhere now that it is cold.  My hair used to be quite thick when I was younger but since then a lot of it has fallen out and now I need a had most of the time.  At least it makes people smile and that makes me happy.  There is way too much sadness in the world today.  So I do not know if people are smiling to see my fluffy hat or they are laughing at the bubblegum pink Michelin Man heavy coat that I have topped off with the fluffy hat.  Perhaps I look like an ice cream cone?  Who knows what is passing through their minds.

I have not written for a couple of days.  We went to a Verizon class on Tuesday night and on Wednesday night and when I got home I was too tired to write.  We have these Iphone’s and do not know how to get the most out of the subscription that we have.  At the class last night the young man showed us an application called Pandora that is a series of music etc. and as I type this I am tuned into the Kingston Trio Radio.  They have had a number of artists on this selection that really make my heart happy.  John Denver, Peter, Paul and Mary. The Kingston Trio, Simon and Garfunkle and I guess there are others that have not yet played.  One of the ladies at the first class has about 30 applications on her Iphone and her goal is to get more than that.  I am happy with the music from Pandora.  Now I can join the ‘hip group’ at the YMCA and have plugs in my ears and listen to music as I walk rather than hear the weight lifters grunt and groan.

We went to the YMCA today and there were lots of people walking on the track and a few Gazelles.  Each time we go to the YMCA we see different people.  There is a young man there who does Yoga in the corner.   I got to talk to him today and asked him if he was an artist.  He looks  like he could be an artist.  He asked me why I would think he was an artist and I told him that he appears to be a ‘peaceful soul’ like some of the artists I know in Prescott.  He told me that he does do some art, but that he is a person who does energy work and healing.  He is one of those quiet spirits but exhibits great strength in his exercising and he does not preen so I know that he is not a body builder or fishing for a sweet young thing in Nike togs.
