Oops

Well, I didn't realize it was so late when I called to check on mom and dad. O.k. it was around 10:00 p.m., pacific time, nobody answered. The answering machine makes the suggestion " or you can reach me on my cell..." Oh, what the heck, I'll give it a whirl. Dad answers and informs me that he and mother are in bed. I am confused, mom doesn't go to bed that early. Very suspicious. Then he goes on to say how cute Natalie is and I am listening to him saying something about Jon being there. Oh, poor Grandpa. I inform him that Jon does not live in California. At about this point, I am still trying to make some sense of this, I realize that they are in Boise, not California, and it's not after 11 p.m., mountain standard time.

As Grandpa is known to say: "Some peoples' kids..."

I was talking to my friend last night. She explained to me that her mom is coming from Las Vegas for the holiday. She tried to talk her mom into leaving Saturday rather than Sunday to avoid the snowstorm. My thought is that neither our parents or our kids take our suggestions. For that matter neither do the dogs.

Getting with it!

I thought we should have a place to share what is going on in our lives.

Yesterday we had a beautiful snow storm. As I was getting ready for work I heard a snow blower, and I was secretely hoping that some angel was outside doing the walkways. We have neighbors that are kind enough to help out once in awhile. Looking outside, nothing. That's odd, no one was snow blowing at all, yet I kept hearing it. Oh well, guess I will just have to get out the shovel.

It was a while later when I realized that the "blower" was Joe in a real deep sleep. I hated to wake him to do the driveway....
