Not bad.

The snow that is.  About 4 inches.  It's the roads that people forget about and don't slow down.  You would think after living in the state for so long they would remember.  Not so much!

Jared took Carson to Rockford Ill. last night to the Miranda Lambert concert.  Since the news and people of fb were all saying the roads were awful I didn't sleep much until I knew they were home, after 12.  She had a great time and told her dad it was the "best night of her life".  Then she's only 11 so I'm thinking she has many more ahead of her.  Doesn't she look happy?


Jack did his thing this morning.

See, it doesn't look too bad. 

From the tracks you can see it stopped around 12 as that's when the car pulled in.

I'm sure the neighbor, (Danielle) isn't happy though, lol.

Well it's over...

The lovely weather that is.  Yesterday Darla was sitting on her deck with the dogs and a drink, and today the snow is coming down.  It was so nice while it lasted. Now I suppose we have to let the snow people have their fun too.  It will be tough, but I'll be happy for them. 

Tonight is suppose to be 'granny's night' but I'm not feeling it.  Not anxious to go out in the snow, and since it's still has a few hours before it ends, I'll just stay in.  Have snacks, food, books and plenty else to keep busy with.  Even nothing if I don't want to.  Hubby is even reading.  Read 3 James Patterson books then went to the garage where there is a box full and brought in 4 Louie Lamour books.  With the ability to keep in touch with the world with these marvelous machines, I guess we're all set.

Granny's night is usually pizza for supper and that will continue anyway.  Not in the cooking mood either.  Must be the weather, lol.  

Well the dryer just stopped so had better get to the clothes before I have to iron them.  I'm sure you'll have an idea what I think of that (there is a story there for later).  Only use that thing when sewing unless it's a dressy piece of clothing.  Since we don't go to places needing them much, it's rare to have to iron.   

Have a nice evening.  Keep warm where it's cold and cool where it's warm.   



Back Better...

..but I'm tired.  Not sleeping well with the back hurting and was looking forward to a good nights sleep last night (you know, not having to get up a hundred times also).  Well almost got it.  Was jolted awake a 3 this morning with the phone ringing.  This always scares people and with Jack's mother living alone and set up with life alert it did just that to us.  Thank fully it wasn't he,r but it was the Fire Dept.  They needed him to come to the scene of a house fire and take pictures.  He made it home at 9.  Fortunately, no one was hurt.  All the residents and animals got out safely.  Unfortunately, the house seems to be a total loss. 

Dept. has been busy in the last 24 hours.  We had a funeral visitation last night and coming home we saw dozens of red and blue lights ahead.  Coming up to the scene of a car accident but couldn't see how bad it was due to the two lanes of traffic and all the emergency vehicles.  Then heard they was another one later that night.  Haven't seen or heard a word on either the news or morning paper, and Jack said no one mentioned it at the station either.  Hopefully that means no one was hurt, or at least hurt bad.

Been so spoiled with all this nice weather and now that it going to be over.  Always new the snow would come but still don't look forward to it.  Of course some are and I hope they enjoy it.  They have waited some time. 

Now to get my act together around here and do something constructive.  The list is so long I may have to cut them up and draw them from a hat to know where to start. 

Have a good day.

Better!

Been a tough couple of days but the back is beginning to feel better.  Bought a couple of those heat things to put on it and they seem to be doing the trick.  They really get hot though.  Moving has been quite a chore so didn't get to here.  You know how it is.  You can't sit, stand or lay.  Today is much better.  Even ventured out to finally get my husband his Christmas present (he finally decided what he wanted).  Here it is.

It fits, lol.

Now he won't have to reach 'up' to use his computer. 

Did buy two plastice mats for the computer chairs.  My old one was cracking and wheels getting stuck.  Unfortunately I forgot the other thing I wanted to go for.  One of those lights to attach to my kindle cover for nightitime reading.  Guess another trip will be in the horizon. :-)  Besides, I have a Kohls gift card to spend too.

Off to heat up again.  Do not want it to tighten up again.

You all take care.



Sunny Saturday

So far anyway.  I just love this weather.  A bit afraid we might get dumped on big one of these days though.  Do feel a little sorry for those whose winter business rely on snow.  Just a little though, ;-). 

Did some mending yesterday.  A pair of pants for Deedee and two tops of mine.  One, a pj top that the cuff needed fixing and one a brand new shirt whose seam came undone.  It really irks me the shoddy work you find at times.  Still and all, I plan to see what I can find at Kohls for my gift card.  Hopefully today, as no big plans until tonight.  Have a dinner at the horseshoe club for the season's end of Monday night horseshoes. 

 You know how the least little move can go wrong.   Well yesterday after my shower I must have turned or bent the wrong way when drying and pulled something as my back has been hurting ever since.  Sit awhile, stand awhile, walk awhile.  All those things you do to try and loosen it up did not help.  Sleeping last night was miserable and contrary to their ads, Tylenol extra strength did absolutely nothing to help.  I don't know how many times I had to get up and move around.  Hoping for a better day, or going out shopping or for dinner is not going to be much fun.  May a long ride in the car with the heated seats would help.  Would try a heating pad, but someone borrowed it and haven't seen it sense.

Well that's it for now.  Have to get up and move.

You all have a great day.

Ahh! Wednesday.

Already the middle of the week.  Where do the days go?  Still cleaning files but a break now and then.

Decided to do something I should have done when I got my Kindle.  Read the PDF file on how to operate it.  Have read 2 books and now on to the instructions, lol.  Better late than never they say. 

Went over check into my WP site.  It's been since March that I was last there.  Couldn't hardly believe that.  It's definitely much easier here.  I guess that's why I forgot all about it.

Not much else going on, so this is short and sweet.  

You have a good evening.

Good start!

Go BadgersGo!

Well the new year is here and I kind of think it started off on the path with the Packer win.  Now if the Badgers can pull off the same thing it will be a really good start.

Can you believe someone would be so terrible they would go around setting cars on fire like is happened in Cal.  How could anyone be so awful?  I just don't understand people. 

Had a nice New Year Eve.  Had dinner and listened to some music at the Moose.  Then home early and in bed watching the tv.  Safe and sound. 

Used up my gift card for my kindle getting books so when at the store for other things, picked up another for myself.  Makes it easier to avoid adding to my charge account on Amazon.  Have a ton of books on it already so should be good for some time.  When needed I'll just go get another one.  Shopko, like a lot of stores, has a kiosk with gift cards for just about anything. 

Been cleaning the filing cabinet.  Didn't realize it kept me away for a couple days.  Still have some to do.  It's amazing what you file away and forget about that you don't need anymore.  About to wear out the shredder.

Well the game is on so I'll catch you all later. 

Have a good night.
