A Helpful Momentary Heat Wave

It was 73 here yesterday!  That helped a lot with melting the snow and ice.  There are still dirty piles around in parking lots and along the roads where plowing was done, but the yard and house are clear now.  Of course, the yard is very wet and soggy, but the danger of ice falling off the roof onto us is gone!

Here's a recap of our week....We started out snowbound, but Golfer had a doctor's appointment Tuesday morning, so he ventured out and returned safely home.  Also on Tuesday, we had the plumber here fixing the leaky pipe in the wall in the garage.  Wednesday we had our annual visit from the Culligan Man; no problems there.  Thursday, our photographer friend, Rick, brought our pictures.  They turned out great!  Then later our handyman, Steve, came by to check on some things around our house, and he'll be back later today to discuss.  Right now we're waiting on the Zoo Pro man to return for the next treatment in our attic to "remove" the creature that's been up there.

Of course there has also been all the usual stuff, cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc.  One afternoon was spent cleaning up the garage after the plumber was done.  We had a lot of water to mop up!  I finally got out to do errands yesterday and get to the Commissary.  We've made it to the "Y" a couple times.  It's been packed with children due to the schools being closed, but schools finally reopened yesterday.

The girls and families are doing well.  Little Miss E just got her third tooth!  Still drooling and not sleeping well, so maybe another is on the way, too!

New people moved into the house across the street from us.  They have dogs and one is a barker.  Our Angus has always liked to spend a lot of time looking out the front windows, usually watching birds in the shrubs in front of our porch.  This morning I saw him staring straight ahead, all crouched down and wiggly.  He was staring at the barker across the street who was staring back at him from their front window.  Life is an adventure.

Stay safe!
