Now, when money is tight, I cannot afford to buy another...and even if I could, who would sell a car to a person with no job? No, I fear I am "stuck" in my little grey prison...praying for some sun perhaps next month.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />♥ Robin ♥Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247046205493711677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805249651108734322.post-19999515915997399402010-08-04T06:51:40.541-07:002010-08-04T06:51:40.541-07:00I'm trying to think of ways to enjoy grey skie...I'm trying to think of ways to enjoy grey skies. We get them alot in winter and suddenly they will get very grey and snow falls in huge flakes. I actually love that - love watching it, love being home in the snow. <br /><br />my brother also complained about grey and cold but in CA one can always drive inland a little bit for a hit of sunshine - can you do that? <br />Hope you are feeling a little bit lifted up....Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409455543895086283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805249651108734322.post-15034696770769078922010-08-03T16:34:14.257-07:002010-08-03T16:34:14.257-07:00Marguerite...hello and thnk you for stopping by.
