Frozen in......


DH got home from California Tuesday night, walked into the house just as the TV announced that all the airports in the area were closed.....whew! It did snow some that day( less than 2") and I shoveled the driveway.

During the night we got about 4" of sleet,snowy ice, fun, fun, fun. DH HAD to go into work and said he would shovel the driveway when he got home. I got up and tried to start the snow blower. Knowing now what I know....I will never use the blower again. I wasted so much time and energy getting very little accomplished. In the mean time, the temps were dropping. By the time DH got home from work, the driveway was frozen and unable to be blown or shoveled. It has been that way now for 3 days. I have tried several times to chop it, salt it, what ever...it's not going away until the temps rise.

I'm ready for spring time......

February projects and fun

February project.....after selling the roll top desk , the next step was to paint the study...painting a white ceiling white...that falls into the real fun group. The ceiling is done, did the trim and bookcases today....a word that comes to mind is sore, very sore.Legs, back and arms....

I'll do the walls tomorrow. DH gets to do the windows this week-end. I hate doing windows.It will look good once it is done. In the mean time all the books and "stuff" is in the living room and dining room, which means 3 rooms are messy.


February fun....76 and I went to Lets Dish last night, it was a lot of fun and we made some pretty good entrees. Will just need a salad and a veggie, maybe some crusty bread to make a meal. I did this before and made 4 things...this time I made 8 items and I think we both got about 10-12 meals out of it. The session was full, which makes it a lot of fun.They serve coffee and tea, with cookies and scones that they bake while you are there.

February posting

Guess I should post here everynow and then too. I'm doing a lot more with Flickr and all the different groups over there.

Spent Sunday afternoon at 76's place watching the Super Bowl, last year I was in LA with 78. I enjoyed this game more, and the outcome too. Got to sit next to Miller last night, what a fun litle dog he is...

Very cold here today, was in the teens most of the day and colder again tomorrow. I'll be out in the elements tomorrow, but hopefully not for long.
