Here we are again.

As you all know we have had another one of those snow events. Aren't we just the luckest people around? I know that we have had to have done something really -------is it good? No, I think we must have done something really ---bad. I just wish I knew what it is so we can quit doing it. I can not remember having so many things canceled before. Either we are real sissys or we have been getting some bad weather. Darn that global warming thing. Casey made the comment this summer that he was really tired of mowing so much. We had to mow all summer no down time in August like normal. He said the other day that he was not going to complain about mowing again, because he would rather mow than shovel.
We have been staying very busy, and no not all just shoveling snow. Casey started a new job a couple of weeks ago. He always wanted to get a part time job after John Deere. He found one in Waterloo and a locksmith place. He really likes the people and is learning a bunch of neat things. He says it is different every day and only works for 5 hours a day. I like it because I am able to get some things done with him gone. I don't know why it works that when he is here, I don't get near as much done. We're both happy this way. I guess it is so many years of him working 2nd shift and being gone at night. I do like him home at night even tho we both have a lot of things we do at night. The trick has been watching things we both like on TV. I have had my way for a long time. I have had to learn not to watch so many reality shows. Casey hates most of them. But I have caught him watching and commenting on some.
We have been doing a lot of bowling. When the weather cooperates. I got my singles and doubles for state done. We had to reschedule the team, because of, guess what, the weather. This week is City tournament and a 8 pin tournament in Eldora. Will let you know how we do. This is a team event. We will be with Gina, Bob and Doreen Getting, and Casey and I. Should be interesting.
Last Friday we went to the dance at Electric Park. A lot of people where there. Lisa had a lot of fun. Vic brought her some really nice flowers. Everybody wanted to know "What's going on". Vic brought them for Valentines Day. Also that night Lisa saw a guy she thought she would like to meet. Her and I went to the rest room and on the way back I asked her if she wanted to meet him? After some coaxing we introduced ourselves and said if he would like to dance that Lisa would like to slow dance with her. He came over later and they had their first dance. I told her that life was too short and grab life by the horns and go for it. He came back later for another one. We will see what happens at the next dance. The boy has some moves on the dance floor. I wish I could move like that.
Well, I will say by from the fridge northern region of Iowa.

Yes, we made it.

Well, we made it through another snow event, that is what they are calling snow storms now. I just call it a lot of snow to shovel. Thank goodness for snowblowers. We got enough of the not so white stuff piling up I am not sure where anymore is going to be put. We have probably 3 ft piles along the alley. And just think, we only have what----5 weeks left. Isn't that what that darn groundhog said. Thanks furry little critter. This is Iowa just waiting for the next big event to happen.

AGAIN, SNOW

I for one would like to know what we here in Iowa have done! We must have really made someone mad at us. Here we go again. It is currently snowing again. I for one am a person who doesn't mind some snow and cold in the winter. I am not sure if it is just old age or what, but enough is enough. I don't like the whole ice thing. I am very tired of that. I am not sure what to believe for this time, seeing how the weather guys haven't gotten many of these things right so far this year. We have a chance of getting anywhere from flurries{doesn't look like that is going to happen} to a foot of snow. Oh Yeah! Well here we go again. Will let you know what we end up with.

$100,000.00

I don't know about you all, but wouldn't that have been a nice surprise. In case you have not heard about this let me enlighten you. Somewhere in Iowa a man came in to a restruant and told the couple to right out the check for whatever they wanted so they put $100,000.00. The check cleared. Please someone ask me. Thought you might like this in case you haven't heard it yet.
