The aftermath of this last mid January blizzard left bigger drifts!
The blizzard in the middle of December was zero visibility!
Oh, Oh! After this last blizzard, it's going to be awhilebefore eating outside is possible!
The second (or third?) blizzard with God's creative artistry!
Sunrise on the 29th, a very cold day!
And a beautiful, bright sun dog soon appeared!

I’m Ashley. My mum seems to have been sick with the flu. My dad’s sick in other ways. Hope my dad I and I don’t get flu. My family needs new van, as current van's very old. I use medical scooter, which I hope keeps working. I’m going to have physio appointment but hope it isn’t too soon (after 15th) nor too late either, as it’s out of town and my parents want to get out of town, long story, but my dad has medical appointments, and some need to happen sooner rather than later. My mum is ESL tutor and one student, English name Eric (don’t know Asian name) changed one of the days he wants to see her from Tuesday to Wednesday but Eric lacks being on time (the odd time he is too early, and hope he is never too early on Wednesday as another ESL student would be just before him and hope Eric understood the time with my mum). Sometimes I must speak loudly and don’t like doing it as my mum takes it wrong way (she doesn’t understand that I wasn’t being a jerk (most cases); she can’t hear me).

Please pray for a healing for me. I have been suffering since December. Doctor said it was acid reflux. I had an endoscopy last month because food was stuck in my esophagus and they said it all looked good. They prescribed me pills for acidity and last week a pill to help swallow easier, but I am still suffering. I cannot eat solid foods because they get stuck in my esophagus and throat. Now I have a hard time swallowing the pills that are supposed to help me. I have to eat cream soups. I am losing a lot of weight. I do not know what to do. I am scared and getting so tired and depressed. I've been praying for help but feel like I am not heard. Please! I texted for me for a healing to eat normally again. Thank You and God Bless.
