Okay, that's it . . .

Oodles of snow birds

Yup, that's it Mother Nature - this is not funny any more. Gees, P&D's Pop is already out with the snowblower after having pushed the snow in front of the garage down to the lawn twice. With the added five or six inches of snow it is now some concoction of freezing rain/sleet so he's trying to stay ahead of it. Whatever it is, it is supposed to last until six this evening. Even the birds are trying to grab a seed and then fly away looking for a protective place to eat! P&D's Pop put some bird seed under the Dodge Ram for them and they're so grateful they aren't even flying away from the sound of the snowblower.

Had a nice Super Bowl Sunday with Oneco friends and another couple from Franklin. We all piled into the Chevy Truck for the ride on some pretty poorly plowed roads to Twin Oaks for a leisurely dinner. The place is always packed but because of the Big Game there were very few people there and we had a great time. Haven't gone to see any brothers or younger sister in ages! May even have to call off my card date with Cousine tomorrow. Grampa has a dentist appointment tomorrow, school, perhaps, and maybe a dinner date, just we two, to celebrate 48 years of married life! Wow, that's another incredible happening. Doesn't seem possible that our kids are already long gone from this old house. Speaking of this old house our nephew and his wife who live in Moosup have bought a new house in Moosup rather than try to update their older home. Can't blame them. They'll have a 10 year old Cape with two acres, a brook for fishing and a pool for all and sundry. They close on the new place next week. Looks like there will be one more house up for sale in Moosup!

Hoping I'll get to see younger sister this week but if the roads are the least bit bad I won't be going anywhere. I do miss seeing our Kiddo but I know he's having a blast playing out in the snow with the neighborhood hoods and helping his Dad plow out driveways - he runs the plow!
