Sheila.
It is really a mess here, too. Although we are not having nearly the weather you are we are having a lot more than we are used too. Chrissy put Tiptoe's sweater on her when she sent them and she really needed it. I took the kids to a meeting yesterday and everyone fell in love with them. No decision yet on whether she is one of us or not but she did take a 24 hour chip and read a pamphlet entitled "Is A.A. For You?".
It is too cold for the "bikes" but it usually warms up quickly so I sure they will have their ride before they go to Ohio.
We are amateur radio operators and Tiptoe talked to a ham operator in China last night. I will try and get the pictures of our activities on tomorrow.
Pink Girl. I can imagine how much you miss Tiptoe. She is amazing. You can just feel all the love that her previous hostesses have shared with her. I think you should get her again so you can share in this wonder.
Love & hugs,
Marlys

Maybe down south but not in Illinois!!!!! Of course we can get some crazy weather here, snow and sub zero to 50 degrees in a day....I have seen the trees bud out and the daffodils and tulips p[op their heads in the middle of winter. We had snow and 60 mph winds here yesterday...is was truly not spring like...wind chills were 30 below zero!

PinkGirl,
Members of A.A. celebrate milestones in sobriety with chips, some are very elaborate, others are very simple.
They are coins about the size of a silver dollar. There are 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year and then yearly. The 24 hour chip is mostly given out to someone who feels the need for extra support for any number of reasons. I asked for one when I was in my first 3 weeks of chemo because I felt so crappy. I had 24 1/2 years of continuous sobriety so it wasn't really to keep me from drinking. We try to take life one day at a time so the 24 hour chip echos that. Hope this explains this. Now, I have taken a couple of pictures and am currently struggling to find them and get the on the site.
I'll keep trying.
Love & hugs,
Marlys
