Just Living The Life! The Snow Continues to Dominate the Valley!

We are under a severe alert. The higher elevations are going to get the brunt of the storm while the valley will get up to 6 inches of new snow that will change to freezing rain. The weather is going to be above freezing tomorrow. The result will be ruts left in the road. It took more than week last... Sign in to see full entry.

When Words Fall on Deaf Ears! It is Frustrating!

I have helped my former neighbor with her bill paying and budgeting. I have got her back on schedule at least three other times. Each time she will not follow the plan and gets herself into deep trouble. This last time that she came to me I told her that my words fall on deaf ears because she... Sign in to see full entry.

What a Day! Shopping, Shopping, Shopping…

I spent the day with Jessica as I do on her days off. The exception is when she is off the same day as her husband! I wouldn’t want me around, either! Actually they like having me over, but in winter they hit the slopes at every opportunity! Today, Jessica was looking for thermal underwear, boots,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Weird Encounter with Amazon!

I ordered a Star Wars Rogue One Pez collector tin on Amazon. When it arrived it was dented. It was essentially worthless. Mik is a Pez collector and has been since he was 4. That’d 30 years of collecting so giving him a dented tin wasn’t going to work for me. I immediately went to Amazon to see how... Sign in to see full entry.

My Daughter-in-Law Manages To Keep The Fires Roiling! WOW!

My DIL posted on Facebook that it was tough being a small business owner! First, I would hardly consider what she does as a small business. Secondly, she makes jewelry that is far below quality, merely wrapping stones and crystals in wire and suspending them from a cheap chain. She has a few items... Sign in to see full entry.

My Son-in-law Gets The Last Laugh, If He Wants It!

Last night the road grater came through my neighborhood to plow the streets. I can now get out and about without trouble, although I could before it’s nice not to have to worry! I just have to clear the area in front of my driveway but it’s too cold today to take that chore on! I haven’t said... Sign in to see full entry.

Social Media is Such a Pain, and Most Infuriating, Especially FACEBOOK!

My SIL really likes Facebook. He posts a lot of video on things he and my daughter do. He’s quite creative and puts them together with music. Last night he was rather frustrated and voiced his thoughts on his page. I didn’t see the post but my daughter called me today and she told me about his post... Sign in to see full entry.

Today was an Absolute First for me! I was Shocked to say the Least.

If you own a small size car there is no way you will be able to drive on my street! I have to use 4 wheel drive just to get to the main street in my subdivision. Today I happened to see the garbage truck in front of my house and it had chains on some of the tires. I was astounded because in the... Sign in to see full entry.

It’s A Wonderful Day In The Neighborhood, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

I never thought I would say this but I was glad it cooled off a bit today! The snow had been melting at an incredible rate and there wasn’t any place for it to go. There are literally small pools of water on the streets in the most inopportune places. Some are avoidable while others are not. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Snow, Then Rain, Then Melting, Then Possible Flooding, My Goodness!

It finally warmed up in my valley! The melting will continue throughout the night but it might not bode well. The problem will be flooding in the area! I am not too worried about it for myself but those along the Boise River may experience flooding! And, depending upon the drains in the city it... Sign in to see full entry.
