PROMISES, PROMISES

The weather forecasters are predicting snow once again. Yea right! How many times have we heard that this winter? We can't count them all. We haven't had any yet! The grocery stores are so busy. Yes, Sue had to make a run to the store because she was called at work by a lady from the church she works at who has been home bound for a good while following surgery asking if she could possibly run her to the pharmacy to get some medications. She wanted to go to Walmart to get them. Sue picked her up and the poor woman had to wait in line forever to get them due to the number of people getting medication "in case of the snow."

Since she was out the lady decided to pick up a few things. Sue did also. People were stocking up "just in case" this time the weather forecast happens to be right. I guess only time will tell.

Roger is busy installing a wall mount heater in the family room which is going to be connected to as Sue calls it the "submarine" in the back yard. Yes, Roger finally finished installing the new heating system in the house. We now have our electric heat pump system with a propane back up for very cold temperatures. (thus the submarine - propane tank - in the back yard) We no longer use heating oil. Now it is just electric and propane for back up.

Christmas has been put away (weeks ago) and now we are fully set for the cold winter. Roger is still very busy getting everyone else warm. He made a trip this weekend to work on Kristy's heat, and has another boiler to install for a friend at the church Sue works at. Sue say the man never knows when to slow down!

We hope everyone is keeping warm and staying well. We will let you know if this storm that is promised actually happens or not...we are not holding our breath! We would not be disappointed if it passes us by!!! As many of you know we are warm weather people...

  1. Well I am so happy you decided to post. It seems like a long time. I think we might actually get an inch or so of snow here and that would be ok with me I am off tommorrow then go to work for 9 straight days. Roger is the best. Sounds like you have a great heating system now just in time for some bad weather you are all set. Try to stay warm. Pete

  2. Oh, I wouldn't bee so sad about the forecasts. We have at least a foot on the ground and it is snowing now. It is so cold that the snow never melts. I wish those forecasts were wrong on our end!
