WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WAKE UP AND CAN'T FALL ASLEEP AGAIN. WELL I GET CRAZY THOUGHTS SOME TIMES. OTHER TIMES I READ OR JUST WISH I COULD SLEEP LONGER.
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED THIS A.M. IF YOUR INTERESTED!!!
NOT LONG AGO I HAD THE RICE PACK JANA AND ROB GAVE ME FOR CHRISTMAS ON MY NECK WHERE IT WAS FEELING TIGHT AND SORE. AS I LAY THERE THINKING HOW I'VE USED THOSE TO WARM MY FEET AT TIMES THE THOUGHT CAME ABOUT HOW WE WARMED OUR BEDS AT NIGHT AS WE GREW UP. NO RICE PACKS!!!
IN THE FALL WE FOUND A ROCK JUST THE RIGHT SIZE THAT COULD BE HEATED ON THE STOVE OR IN THE OVEN THEN WRAPPED CAREFULLY IN AN OLD SCRAP OF WORN OUT BLANKET AND CAREFULLY TUCKED IN THE BED TO WARM OUR FEET. THE THOUGHT CAME THAT A FEW YEARS AGO THERE WAS A FADE OF PET ROCKS THAT WERE CHOSEN AND PAINTED IN DIFFERENT WAYS. I COULDN'T HELP THINKING OUR HEATING ROCKS ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'T CALL THEM PET ROCKS WERE OUR "PETS" ON COLD WINTER NIGHTS. IF WE FORGOT TO HEAT THEM ARE HEATED TOO HOT IT WAS A SORRY NIGHT AND OUR FEET TOOK A LOT OF TIME TO WARM UP. SO BE HAPPY FOR GOOD HEATING WE LIVE WITH NOW.

I remember pet rocks! After that came the rocks you were supposed to put on your pillows so when you fell into bed, you'd hit your head on it and remember to say your prayers. I had one of those for a while. We were so glad you and Lanie stopped by for a bit this past weekend. It's so nice to see you.
Isn't amazing the things we take for granted nowadays? Like having a heater? I've decided that in so many ways we are a spoiled generation! As always, I enjoy your writing grandma!:)
LOL I love you Grandma you are so cute and funny! I am soooooo glad we live with central heat and air!!! We are very lucky indeed. Yet part of me wishes for a night with a hot rock in my bed during a cold winter. I would be nice to step back in time and have that experience for JUST one night ;) Thanks for sharing. I love you tons and it is so nice to hear your stories. Thanks for blogging.
