Can we all say,” freaking stupid snow storm” I am so sick of all this crap and I’m sure all the rest of you are too. We got a major snow storm last night (5th) here in PA and everything came to a  halt, 20 plus inches and snow drifts up to 3 and 4 feet. Bill did get us dug out and even went to the store, thank God for 4 wheel drive. The people around here are totally lost when it snows and talk about panic, people were stuck all over the place when they did get out.

The dogs were having a great time running back and forth through their path and even synchronized their running and Sadie jumping over little Obie, zoom zoom zoom which I always call running rabbit, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about and maybe you have different names for it. It’s very inconvenient with the house training that’’s for sure. The Vet even called this morning to cancel his appointment so you know it’s bad around here when Vets cancel.

I haven’t had much time to post the past few days and I started this one yesterday and still didn’t finish. Many people were without electricity, but we were lucky, we even had our satellite, I’m really liking the Direct TV and they keep calling to make sure everything is okay. I also managed to get my new modem hooked up for the faster DSL thanks to the tech girl from Verizon, but it took over an hour, very frustrating, but it’s great now.

My floors are a mess thanks to the dogs going in and out and I think they will stay that way for awhile because we’re suppose to get even more snow on Wednesday. It’s been years since we’ve had this  much snow, I just heard Philly got 26 inches, I am so ready for nice weather. The ducks next door survived this mess, thankfully she remembered to dig them out of their dog house. Just wanted to let relatives from down South and friends know that we’re okay, gotta go now…bye.

I received an e-mail last week from Karen author of “My Funny Dad, Harry” and she informed me that I had won a secret commenter contest she had been running on her blog. It’s always nice to be a winner especially when you don’t know you are even in the running for anything. I received the book yesterday, but I haven’t had the time to read it yet and it may be awhile before I get around to it, but it’s on my to do list, there was even a nice book marker enclosed. I will also give a short review after I read it.

I enjoy reading about her Dad when I stop by the blog she devotes to Harry and have often gotten a chuckle or two from some of his antics that she shares. It’s really nice that she has so many warm and loving memories about her Mother and Father and the life they all shared together. I would love to have a lot of good memories from my childhood to share, but I don’t. Sometimes I regret not having a normal life, but not often because I’ve experienced many things that “normal” people would have missed.

That was only one nice surprise, I also received 13 dollars to my PayPal account from the Chitika ad program on my other blog and also a 100 dollar payment from the Kontera program I used on a few websites. That one really surprised me because I had it installed on those websites for like 4 years and they’ve changed things so much that I was beginning to think they were a big rip off, but they have proved me wrong. I will probably never see another payment from them though because I dropped 3 websites.

I’m hoping Bill and I will have the opportunity to do some fun traveling together before we get to0 old to still enjoy things. I’ve never been out of the states, but I’ve always dreamed of traveling to other countries. I don’t know if that will be possible, but if he ever retires we could certainly take trips across our country. I read so many blogs from all over the USA and I love looking at their towns and scenery and have started making my list of places to visit and things to do.

I’m really looking forward to going to Branson and checking out all the entertainment and sights. A few of our friends have gone and I love hearing about all the fun and excitement they had. The tours and all the shows they were able to see sound so exciting and we really want to see The Veterans Memorial Museum. I’m sure most of you guys have been there and could tell me about the best places to eat and the shows and activities you liked.

I would also love to see  Manilow in Paris of course that’s the hotel in Las Vegas and not “The” Paris because I’m quite sure I’ll never make it to the most romantic place in the world. I’ve always been a fan of  Barry Manilow’s music, but I’ve never actually seen him perform live, Bill even likes some of his songs so maybe one of these days when we can actually make some travel plans we can add one of his concerts and I’d love to go back to Vegas, I’m quite sure it’s changed alot since I lived there.
