Thanks, Jinxy! They are beginning to weigh their options

looking forward to it. I hope they move back to Texas, of course! :)

Nice Sandy! Beautiful temps here today as well.

[AZamericonnie]

Thank you for evening colors Conor!

[SandRat]

Maddi spent an hour at the Park going on the Slides and Swings, then took a 3 hr nap.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Connie!

*HUGS*

You're quite welcome, of course.

The weather gurus pulled a fast one on us again. After a short hiatus with rain we were supposed to head back into light snow as the temp dropped this evening. Apparently a "comma" developed at the tail end of the storm that changed the dynamics of the storm dramatically. At about 6:00 p.m. local time, heavy snow began falling and accumulated rapidly. I left the house at 6:30 to pick David up from work and the roads were an absolute mess. I got him back home at 7:00 p.m. and attempted to park. The road was extremely slick and I couldn't get into my stop. I drove down the hill to go around the block, but was unable to get moving after the first right turn. I backed around and drove back up the hill to my house and attempted to get into the parking space from the opposite direction. No dice - I couldn't make any progress at all. John-Man came out and started shoveling under and in front of my drive wheels to no avail. Finally, John-Man, David, and two of their friends came out and were able to push me into my spot.

A mere thirty minutes to get my van into the parking spot.

I hate Winter!!!!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[AZamericonnie]

Lil princess wore herself out! That’s a loooong nap & gave G-Pa some free time right? :)

[SandRat]

Free time for G-Ma too.

[luvie]

Thanks for the heads-up! I’ll let him know. Lots of jobs here,
too, but they are mostly oil-field related and besides I am
pretty sure he doesn’t ever want to live in West Texas again.

Not that I blame him. LOL! I’d move if I could!
