Rain or Shine Mamma

Our snow hasn’t started yet, but some of my sources are saying it will within the next hour or so, and then will be continuous until mid day tomorrow. If they are correct, and the temperatures stay as cool as forecast, we will, indeed, be stuck up here on top of our ridge line until further notice.

I called our medical clinic when they opened this morning to find out if they WERE open and if the lab WAS working today before we scooted out to get the blood test someone forgot to get for my appointment yesterday. After I got the 2nd blood test, we topped off our gas tank and headed for home. We are up on top of our ridge line now we see what happens.

My husband is upset because he has ordered a new computer for me and the packages are due to arrive tomorrow – when no one will be able to get up or down our driveway safely. With my luck, my husband will get emails about packages being left at the bottom of our hill and he will INSIST that he and I try to go down and get them and then try to come back up…. Last time when the ice and snow had cleared all over town EXCEPT for our driveway, we went down, at his insistence, to get the mail. He got out of the truck, fell down, and broke his collarbone. It took him 10 weeks to recover.

We really enjoyed our crockpot chicken, bacon and cheese dish by Kasey Trenum last night. My husband pronounced it, “YUMMY!” his highest praise these days, and even helped with storing the leftovers and the clean up! I’m giving myself a cooking break tonight, fixing us hot dogs, but tomorrow I’ll make Keto Chili by Suzanne Ryan, a real comfort dinner for sure.

Ask a House Cleaner

I’m to the point where I NEED to start going through my closet to try to make sense of things. Since I am finally having better success at trying to lose my lard, some of my jeans are too big. Some of my tops are too large, as well. I’m going to start going through things to bag up a donation for Veterans Thrift Town in Fort Smith when the weather permits. This will be an ongoing project, because my tolerance for trying things on is quite low, but I’m determined to get the closet cleaned out and organized.

Mother Nature is sure in a snit lately, with the horrendous wildfires in California and then the snow and ice across so much of the rest of the country, with people still trying to recover from the awful flooding that occurred several months ago. So many challenges for good people from coast to coast. I hope Mother Nature gets her nose back in joint and things calm down soon.

I wish you safety wherever you are today. May we all have the strength needed to deal with whatever life brings.

  1. Snow just began here in the lakes region of New Hampshire an hour ago but it’s stopped already and not predicted to get more until Saturday. Can you call UPS or whoever is delivering the computer and ask them to hold it a few days??? Don’t risk injury again!

    I know they won’t come up your hill. We hardly even get them to put packages inside our porch! They leave them on the steps outside the porch though we have a nice sign on the door to put them inside.

    I am so glad your dinner was yummy last night!

    Beautiful kiddos Play in Snow 🌨️❄️. when no one will be able to get up or down our driveway safely. With my luck, my husband will get emails about packages being left at the bottom of our hill and he will INSIST.

    . Beautiful mother nature picture. I hope Mother Nature gets her nose back in joint and things calm down soon.

    You are going to start going through things to bag up a donation for Veterans Thrift Town in Fort Smith when the weather permits. It’s good Idea.
