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.

The snow continues to fall and the National Guard is out...

The snow continues to fall and the National Guard is out to help clear the roads and side streets. We got at least three more inches of snow today with more on the way! If my covered patio makes it will be a minor miracle! I am at a loss as to what to do about it right now! I am going to try to get... Sign in to see full entry.

I Can’t Get Over How Cold It’s Been, Below Zero Is Not My Muse, LOL!

Lord have mercy it’s cold outside. Thankfully it is going to start warming up tomorrow but we are under a severe winter storm warning for the weekend. We could get anywhere from 6-12 inches over the weekend. It’s making me very nervous because the build up on my covered patio is getting more and... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
