The Aftermath In My Little Area Of Boise!

My son came over last night and shoveled my driveway and sidewalk. He put salt everywhere, so much so that I am dreading it because I continue to clean salt up at the front door! I know it’s better than slipping and have a bad fall, especially by a neighbor who might be sue happy. LOL! My driveway... Sign in to see full entry.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW…

My son sent me a text this morning inquiring if I still needed my sidewalk shoveled! I said I certainly did. It’s been so cold I haven’t considered picking up a shovel, even at the risk of getting fined since it hadn’t been done since the snow began to fall. My neighbor shovels my driveway and I...

Nothing Was Planned But I Was Very Busy And Managed A Delivery Too!

Not the kind of delivery one may presume but it was a bed that was delivered to my house! It was courtesy of my daughter and son-in-law. My daughter decided she didn’t want her queen bed any longer. She has hardly slept in so I took it for my guest bedroom. I had a new bed in it but it was a twin... Sign in to see full entry.

Keep Telling Myself To Hold My Tongue, It’s Not Easy!

For a couple of years I have been very frustrated with my SIL’s mother! Jes and Chris bought an older home in 2014. I wasn’t excited about because I knew if they waited a little longer they could get something newer. But, it wasn’t my money so I supported their decision. It made them happy and at...

Not Much Time For Anything But Getting Things Ready For Tonight!

I made bread bowl last night and two of them did not turn out well. So, today I made two more but it’s a process and I’ll have them done about an hour before the festivities begin! Other than that everything has gone very well. My brother loves spicy chili and I hope today I finally get one hot... Sign in to see full entry.

4 Quick Errands Took 4 Hours, And Most Of It Not At The Stores!

Jessica and I had today planned to pick up the last minute things needed for Christmas Eve and Christmas day dinner. The snow began shortly after I got to her house. She thought she was done with opening gifts on day 13, but I had her fooled big time. I didn’t mention that I was waiting on my final... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Winter Weather Advisory For My Area!

Jessica and I have some last minute thing to take care of tomorrow but the weather may stop us in our tracks, or at least make it difficult! I am hopeful it will hold off until we are done with the planned stops! If not there’s always Saturday! And I can’t believe it’s nearly Christmas Eve! When I... Sign in to see full entry.

The First Day Of Winter Has Arrived And BRRRR!

We had freezing rain late yesterday afternoon. It accumulated to about a ¼ inch on my windshield. The roads were not as bad as I had anticipated. I never go out this time of the year unless it’s an absolute necessity! Or, if my daughter wants me to come by for coffee when she goes into work later in... Sign in to see full entry.

On The Cusp Of Winter! There’s An Upside To It!

When the Winter Solstice comes it is the shortest day of the year as well as the longest night! After that the days begin to get longer. I have noticed a pick up of a minute each day resulting in an hour and a half. Factor in the spring ahead time change and that’s a lot of daylight in a three month... Sign in to see full entry.
