February 8, 2013


I OVERSLEPT     MOSTLY BECAUSE I WAS UP  TYPING AT 2AM
MAYBE IT IS BECKY GOING TO THE WHITE HOUSE WITH HER SERVICE DOG STANLEY--
BUT I WAS DREAMING I HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE VERY FANCY AND NEEDED A DRESS-- FOUND ONE IN A THRIFT STORE- LONG BEIGE GOWN-- AND  I  REMEMBERED I HAD ONE BEIGE SHOE TO MATCH... SO I BANDAGED THE OTHER FOOT-- BEING CAREFUL TO PUT A RUBBER "THING" ON THE BOTTOM.
THE STORM DID CONCERN ME-- BUT I THINK WE ARE AS ORGANIZED AS WE CAN BE..
THANKS TO BUD THE WOOD PILES ARE ALL OVERFLOWING-  AND WE HAVE BACK UP  HEAT IF WE LOOSE POWER..  WHICH  IS A NORMAL THING.  WE HAVE GENERATORS TO RUN THE OIL FURNACES IN HOUSE  ... BUT THE NUTT HOUSE AND DEAGLE HOUSE ARE BOTH ELECT HEAT/WOOD BACK UP.. 
  DOG FOOD IS HERE IN THE HOUSE--- ALONG WITH BOTTLED WATER AND KLONDIKE BARS-  WHAT ELSE COULD WE NEED.?
TRACTOR IS  FUELED AND READY.  GREG SAID HE WOULD PLOW....
HERE IS HOW IT IS DONE....  WITH DIAPER ON MY HEAD...
THAQT IS THE OLD AMBULANCE IN TH E BACKGROUND..   BOUGHT OFF EBAY -- 1983  WITH 16000 MILES ON IT.. SERVED US WELL FOR YEARS...
BEST ASSET?  I COULD FIND IT IN THE MALL PARKING LOT.
SECOND BEST--- PEOPLE WERE INCLINED TO G ET OUT OF MY WAY AT INTERSECTIONS.
*************
THIS HAS TO BE QUICK-- I NEED TO GET FUEL IN THE VANS BEFORE LONG..
ALSO.. NO MORE CHARGING GAS AT THE  GAS STATION ON RT  97 -   I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIER ACCOUNTING...-- AND THERE IS NO REASON TO USE THAT STATION..
*****************
MARK IS COMING  ? ON SUNDAY ? TO GET MORE SNOW PICTUEES--- I ASKED MEGAN TO BRING HER CAMERA AND TRY FOR SOME "BAILEY  IN THE SNOW"   -- I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PUZZLE PICTURE.  HER LEFT SIDE HAS  ABOUT 5 SMALL DOTS ON HER RUMP AND ONE ON HER EAR.
************
GWEN AND GREG ARE COMING THIS AFTERNOON TO HOLD DOWN TH E FORT.  THANK HEAVENS.
