The snow and the cold!
It just keeps coming. This morning it is -5! I have to force the dogs to go outside. Poor Maggie's arthritis keeps her cautious most of the time, but she is really struggling to walk around outside these days. Nutty's little short legs makes it quite difficult for her to find just the right spot!!! I swear I do believe these piles of snow will still be here in June! Last Friday, TR Baker and his friend Danielle headed to St Ignace (just across the Mack Bridge) to catch a plane to fly them to the island for a winter weekend of hiking. Well, the snow moved in and they could not even get across the bridge. It closed down because of the winds. This is not just any bridge, it's an interstate highway - I-75 to Canada! It was closed until 6am Saturday morning and then they were escorting cars across a few at a time. Think about it. An interstate highway closed. It's the only way in Michigan you can cross to the upper peninsula. And the airport shut down and didn't fly until Sunday! So much for that weekend! They did spend their time in Petoskey at the lovely historic Perry Hotel. They had a fine time after all!
My home being for sale!
The signs went up on the trees (snow too deep for yard signs) front and back on January 30. This evening at 6:15 I will have my first showing to a prospective buyer. The real estate office called yesterday to ask if that would be agreeable and I said of course. Sell this house!!!! I'll spend today making sure everything looks sparkling and then this evening the dogs and I will take a ride. Keep your fingers crossed!
Girlfriends!
I really have the best. And when you tell them something and ask for prayers, I KNOW they pray. And I know they support me in my decisions and are happy when I'm happy. What a blessing they are to me. I hope all of you have special friends like mine in your lives.
A very dear friend I have reconnected with after 40+ years!
A friend who drove up to see me in the worst weather possible, who was put off the interstate in blinding snow in a place he had no idea where he was, going 35 miles an hour trying to see the car in front of him, wearing his seat belt (bless him!), two hands on the steering wheel in an act of self-preservation, talking to his "on star" connection to get him further north! WOW! He made it safely and pulled into my driveway with a smile on his face. He brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. Very special...
