My MIL is doing much better, and except for getting kind of tired in the middle of the day, had to be prevented from over-doing it.

No Piper Pics...mommy and Piper came over, went to dinner with us. I thought they would come back inside. When we got back here they went on home, as it was Piper’s bedtime. I’ll have to get them in the next 2 days at their house.

It will be interesting because a HUGE snowstorm is due here so it could be very dicey gettng around the city. I am definitely not used to driving in it! EEK!

It will look great in the Dad cave & everywhere! Thanks for the info TMS & for your service & that of your FIL!

Had a busy day today, Jinxy.

I’ve got a screwy schedule for the next 2 weeks.

I’ll have to keep my eye on it or else I end up going in on the wrong day.

[TASMANIANRED]

Hope she continues to mend.

Have to keep those toddlers on schedule...They can get mighty cranky when overly tired.

Snowstorm...egad.

Good evening, Taz...((HUGS))...it’s 7:30p and it is still 40 degrees! The plow made a quick pass last night and moved a lot of slush. Today I can see lots of pavement, but “the lake” is starting to form at the end of the street as no drains are open.

[luvie]

Egad is right! Just hope it’s over before we have to travel
home on Sunday!

She didn’t seem cranky, but mommy said that she was earlier in the day!

[HiJinx]

I don’t envy you that problem...
I’m generally 7-5, M-F - but there are some days it feels like I squeeze in 16 hours of work. Like today - we had to present a quarterly brief to our gov’t customer and it was - interesting.
