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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

How did your house and vehicles handle the hail? Damage? I saw you had to shovel the ice. Those pictures are awesome to behold!
