Isn’t Spring yet?
The cold has come upon us with a vengeance. We’ve dropped into the negative degrees over the weekend. We are not pleased say the dogs. I agree.
Funny, as much as the pups hate the cold, they hate sweaters, jackets, or anything else we might put on them to keep them warm. My two dogs aren’t the brightest bulbs on the chandelier.
I am already looking forward to spring. Flowers blooming, warm gentle breezes, naps in my hammock.
You all have a good one!
Yikes!
The Curmudgeon woke me in a bit of a panic. “There’s a suitcase on the front porch, did you order one?”
Dazed and startled from a sound sleep all I could do was mumble, “Huh?”
“There’s a large briefcase, roll on, carry-on type piece of luggage on the front porch. Did you order one?”
My caffeine deprived brain tried to sort through what he said. “Are there mailing labels on it? It’s not in a box?”
“No.”
“Then it didn’t come by mail.”
“Get up. I need you to look at it before I call the police.”
“Police?” My foggy brain was not catching on well. I got dressed, grumbling all the time. I went downstairs, stepped out the front door. “Yes, that’s a briefcase alright. Can’t say I have any idea where it came from.”
“I’m calling the police about a suspicious package. Better to be safe…”
I trudged to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. Once I had one in hand, I sat down in front of my computer, pulled up my FB page, and saw I had a message there from an old friend. I read it and began to laugh.
“Call the police back, I know where it came from.”
Right about then I see a fire department vehicle pull in front of the house. I went outside and told them we’d just called to cancel, we found out where it came from. I also invited them in to see why they were called.
Both firemen said they would’ve called it in too. They had a good laugh over it.
I messaged my friend and told her. We both got a good laugh. The briefcase was one she’d told me about a while back. I’d forgotten. Yes, my short term memory sucks.
The lesson here my friends is, don’t depend on messages or texting to get an important message through. Use a phone and speak to the person, there’s less confusion that way.
I’ve heard The Curmudgeon imitating Jeff Dunham’s Achmed the dead terrorist all day. One more I keel you and I will keel him.
You all have a good one!
Is my coffee ready?
Some days you wonder why you bothered to get out of bed and other days you know why…for the coffee.
The Curmudgeon is well-trained after all these years, and there’s always a full pot of coffee waiting for me when I get up. Smart man. I am very crabby without coffee.
I can tell he’s having a good day by if he pours a cup for me or not when he knows I’m up. If there’s a cup on the counter top all fixed and waiting for me, he’s having a good day. If there isn’t, he’s having a bad day.
Not that I mind fixing my own coffee but I do have to admit I find it very sweet when he has a cup ready for me. Got to love the man!
You all have a good one!

A little piece of heaven in NY
I do love these girls. I have great hopes of going to visit them next summer if all goes well here. This is one my favorite places in all the world.
I often think of how nice it would be to have a little cottage not far from Newfane or another nearby town. Maybe even on the lake in Olcott.
The only thing that holds me back is that The Curmudgeon’s doctors are all here and he doesn’t adapt to change well anymore.
It sure would be nice to live near all my cousins and their families.
You all have a good one!
New shower.
A squirrelly sort of day.
They are taking over! The tree rats are invading the yard again. Everywhere you look there’s another one. Gavin and Patty are beside themselves over the numbers they are seeing outside.
These are brazen squirrels who stand their ground and only run from the dogs when they are almost upon them. Cheeky boogers.
