The Old Man Was Right

 The Old Man and his parents always said that snow waits around for another snow.  They were right.  We still had a little bit of snow hanging around, and this morning we woke to a heavy dusting of snow.  It didn't last long, but the old wive's tale was right.

Never Forget

 

Something You Don't See Every Day

 As I usually do on Saturdays, I went through the drive-thru at the corner liquor store to get my Powerball tickets.  Once again, something caught my eye in the big galvanized garbage can at the end of the store - today, it was an empty Little Debbie Christmas Tree cake box.  At least they had good taste and threw away their empty. 

Happy Wednesday

 For the past few days, I've been working up my courage and strength to go down to the basement, AKA the Dungeon.  I'd been wanting my trusty old Woolrich wool winter coat, and I knew it wouldn't come up the stairs on its own.  I haven't been able to wear that coat in over 20+ years, but with the weight I've lost I was sure it would fit.  So down I went this morning.  I'd been leary of going down to the basement, and even more leary of coming back up, with the couple of falls I've taken over the past couple of years.  But a few days ago, I went down a few steps and back up.  And I knew today was the day. I said a prayer for the Lord to keep His hand on me and keep me safe, and He sure did.  I got my coat and came back up, safe and sound.  I can't wait to go somewhere to wear it. 

Bring On The Snow

 As I post this, the weatherazzi is still getting worked up about snow late tonight into early Tuesday.  They've knocked down their forecast from 2-4" to now 1-2".  But here in the Ohio Valley, you don't know what to expect. Bring it on. 

Sunny Sunday

 The sun is finally out as I type this.  It's cold and windy, though.  And the weatherazzi has already started getting worked up about a possible 1-3 inches of snow tomorrow night into Tuesday morning.  Bring it, I say.  We have plenty of bread, milk, eggs and other provisions.  But for now, I'm just happy to see the sun. 

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

 I have almost all of my energy back from my sick spell this past week, so this morning I decorated our little Christmas tree and got out some more decorations for the family room and dining room.  I only had to make one trip to the store for an extension cord, thank goodness.  There's not much else we can do.  But it looks nice and festive.  And the Old Man is happy - that's all I can ask for.
