Saturday

It was pretty much a day of just trying to get reorganized in the house.  We didn't really do anything except watch the ice on the trees melt.  Fortunately, we did not lose any trees or big limbs to the snow and ice.  The big rain and wind storm that was predicted did not happen, which was really good.  There was enough damage done just by the snow.  Many, many people are still without power.  Fortunately, the temperature is relatively warm (in the low to mid 40s).

It felt good to shower today, and have a lazy, luxurious morning.  Mark made pancakes.  Yummmm.  The puppies enjoyed their pancake, too.  No, they are not spoiled.  Not at all.

I'm really enjoying our house.  I still have a lot of stuff that needs to be put away, so I'm searching for hiding spaces.  I need to get some storage bins/boxes for a lot of it.  That will make putting it away easier.  But, I still don't have my car, and the weather has been so bad, that I have not been able to go get stuff to get organized.  Hopefully, maybe I'll get E.T. back this week and then I can tootle around and do what I have to do to get the house set up right.

Our friends from Portland were supposed to drive up tomorrow morning for brunch for Joyce's birthday.  However, Portland is struggling with flooding and our roads are still too much of a mess for travelers, so we are postponing the party until spring.  Just a little bit longer for anticipation to build.

And that's it for tonight.
