1. Well, I just paid my Gas and elec. yesterday |
|
So I'm good for this month at least. And quite frankly, it won't matter if it's -20 on the 20th, it will be a GREAT day in the USA!

7. I have one of those little snow brooms which works perfect for the wheelchair ramp |
|
I still have to go 'tidy up' with a shovel but the heavy stuff is blown right off. We have a 'snow plow guy' that does our drive - and right now I love him. I think I'm going to put little Xs and Os on the check next time he stops to get paid!

8. One singular advantage to this really bitter cold |
|
I can safely store my frozen food on the porch while defrosting my freezer. Even had the day off to do it, since school was canceled.
The youngest Cairykitten, upon waking up half an hour after the usual start of school: "Delayed or canceled?" "Canceled." "Oh, yeah!" (pumps fist)
