Big Snow

Thursday the snow started to fall, I think it was Thursday. We can't call it a blizzard, just a good covering of snow. Enough to cover the leaves that never got raked, so our yard looks like everyone else's now. The dog woke up to the snow covered neighborhood with utter excitement, she bopped around from one window to the next, her ears perked up and tail wagging and said, "Can I, can I, huh, huh, huh, can I go out and play, huh, huh?"
My dog talks to me with her eyes, I know that's what she would have said if she could really talk.
So I clipped her onto her chain and off she went to frolic in the snow. Had tethering the boys to a chain when they wanted to go out and play been an option a few years ago I'd be saving a lot of money on hair coloring right now.
Being totally unprepared for this winter just like every other year, I went to the Wal-Mart to purchase my first, of many, bags of rock salt for my icy front steps. You have to wonder, having the aisles stocked with an ample supply of snow removal items, why am I risking my life in the Wal-mart parking lot? They were as unprepared as I was for the first big snow. Open up a few bags of salt guys, so I can push this shopping cart to my car.
One more big snow thought for the day. Since Uncle Silly Willy and Aunt Fluffy headed south for the winter, I should be getting a call from them soon asking me how the weather is and then hearing a giggle.

Blogging Family Style

It's only a matter of time before I have my entire family blogging their brains out. If I'm not talking about what I'm blogging about next then I'm talking about my blogs in general. While most of my friends and family pretend to show interest when I'm babbling about widgets, there are a select few that I haven't bored to tears and have actually listened to me. They don't pat me on the head and say,
"I'm going to go stand over there now."

"They" are my future daughter-in-law, Just Me and these two clowns The World of Silly Willy and Fluffy. I received a call from Uncle Silly Willy this afternoon. Let me tell you Uncle Silly Willy and Aunt Fluffy have parked their RV in Florida for the winter so when you live in Northeast Ohio and in March you get a call from someone who use to live in Northeast Ohio, it doesn't matter if their hair is on fire the first thing they are going to say is, "How's the weather?" Then there's a giggle.
After we got the Ohio's crappy winter weather conversation out of the way he told me he started a blog. These two clowns have so much fun that I've been telling them to start blogging. I'm so excited they jumped into the blogging world. Way to go guys!
