Back Home

Well Sandy and I are back home from our relaxing trip to FL. I must say that we did escape the fridgid cold up north for some slightly warmer weather. It wasn't as warm as we had hoped but hey anything is better than the snow!!!

We had a nice visit with Rick and the dogs on our way down. We so wished we had a camcorder. We were enjoying a lovely supper with Rick when all of a sudden we realized how quiet the dogs were being. Rick got up to check on the dogs. He went into the den, came out with this look of panic on his face turned around went back in the den, then came back out with this look of horror on his face and went back in speechless.

Sandy and I got up and walked in. We didn't even have the presence of mind to get a camera. It was so funny! There was yarn everywhere! Their black lab had gotten into both of our "to do" bags which were loaded up with skeins of yarn. It was everywhere! It was so funny! No real harm was done mostly he wanted the labels on the yarn. Poor Rick was appalled. Sandy and I have had so many laughs over it. We kept talking about how we could have had $100,000.00 and if not that atleast $10,000 from America's Funniest Video's. Just the video of Rick would have been enough. You really had to be there. We have laughed til we have cried over it. Thanks Rick for the laughs!

I am happy to report that I can WALK on the beach again! Maybe not five miles at a time but atleast I can enjoy the walks again. It was quite cool on the beach so I didn't get to do it much but I did enjoy doing it while I was down there.

Sandy and I enjoyed shopping, relaxing and reading...lots!!! We had safe travels and a good time. Now we are home and reality has set in....there is still snow on the ground. It was good to get back and see Roger. Now it is time to start paying the bills, unpacking and getting back into the swing of everyday life.

Enoughs Enough!!!!

We thought the the big storm in December when we got 30" of snow would be the "big" snow of the season and we might get another small snow or so the rest of the winter.

Boy were we wrong! This year has been exceptional. We have had two huge snows and several good sized amounts of snow in between. Seems like every weekend we have snow. This weekend was our second "big" storm. As you can see from the pictures, we got blasted again.

Now you would think we might have a break but the forecast is for more snow Tuesday night. I have had enough. Roger got called out to work today and he had to shovel out his work truck to go to JC Penney's and he got there and hit the reset button and came home. He couldn't even get the truck back up the driveway. He re shoveled the drive again and finally got it up.

Roger has for years talked about moving south...and I keep saying I don't want to move away from my family and friends, but with weather like this,I am growing weaker...

My car has not been "dug out" and he doesn't plan on doing it. Guess that is his way of "keeping me put". He is very protective of my back. However I sure hope he digs it out before next Sunday when Sandy and I head to Florida. I pray there isn't
another storm next weekend. Surely we will get a break on that....ya think? Love and hugs, Sue
