Thursday Update

Not much happening here. We have just been relaxing after work and watching TV. Doug got me new tires for Puck and the drive is very nice now. No more wobbling down the road. I had some split belts. It's a good thing I wasn't driving it on the highway.

Monday Update

The weekend was pretty good. I decided not to work OT on Saturday. (I need a break once in a while.) I even slept in a little bit. The bad part was that I had a horrible headache all day Saturday. Thomas had his coaching classes in Cedar Falls all weekend, so we kept in touch with him about the weather. He ended up staying in Waterloo overnight rather than risk icy roads Sunday morning.

Sunday was much better. I got up and started laundry, washed dishes and baked Fun-fetti Cupcakes and Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins. I helped Doug with the vegetables for the soups. We had a pork & cabbage soup with cannelini beans and chicken & spinach with cannelini beans. Both were delicious. We watched the two Saturday Night Live specials. One was all commercials, the other was behind the scenes.

I also found out on Sunday that Puck has a flat tire. I will be driving Blue to work today and Doug is going to see about new tires.

Thursday Update

I decided it was time to do an update. There has not been much happening around here. Just watching our regular TV shows, tonight is the busy TV watching night. Doug has been preparing delicious meals and has them ready when I get home from work.

Poor Chloe has been sick for the past few days and now Diedre has a nasty head cold. Thomas said he is also fighting something off. No word on illness from Rawson, Paul or Ash. Stay well everyone!

I'm enjoying this weather. Right now it is not even 5AM and the thermometer outside says 45 degrees.

Monday Update

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. It was such nice weather this weekend, I hope it stays this way all week. Chloe and Raws came over and watched some of the Grammy's with us, it was nice being with them.

Super Bowl Sunday Update

My favorite part of Super Bowl Sunday is making (and eating) Jello Jigglers in team colors, appetizers and commercials.

This morning we have a little snow on the ground and Thomas has made it to his coaching class in Cedar Falls okay. I am moving a bit slow today, but at least I feel rested for now. Yet to do, help Doug with the rest of the Super Bowl appetizers, bake cookies, clean the house and finish laundry.

This reminds me of Mao.

funny pictures - When you went away on vacation, I felt so depressed & irritated - it was like you never left.

Blizzard of 2011

It was a bit high on the patio.
Drifts and blowing snow.
The snow was blowing right into the entry.
This was after I shoveled a little of course.
Snow drifts around Puck.
I had to shovel the drift away to open the door.
Pretty!!
The garden is covered pretty good.
Poor Gordan!
It was deep.

Me standing in the snow on the patio.
My prints in the snow.

Snow piles.
Snow day!
My jeans were snow encrusted and a bit stiff at the bottom.
Notice the wall of snow in the street before the plows came by.
I'm glad our sidewalk is not longer.
Poor Gordan is snowed in.


The total for Marion was around 9-10".

Update

I'm not going anywhere until they plow our street. Too many drifts and the snow in the street is very deep. Snow drifts in the entry way to the house. Snow blew in way to the wall by the kitchen. I took pictures, will post later.

Wednesday Update

Nice weather we are having. My work has been delayed until 10 this morning. I was planning to come in early for overtime, so I will still be in before 10. It would also be good to get moving before the snow plow comes by, I don't think they have yet. I want to avoid some of the traffic at that time as well. I am going to start getting ready in a few minutes.

For those of you who do not have to be anywhere today, have a good snow day!

Happy Groundhog Day!! I'm thinking 6 more weeks.
