?????

Remember a few weeks ago when i wrote i was having internet connection issues...

And then..

Over the weekend we discovered that the parental units were having issues with a garage door opener and just decided to use a "spare" one.

Which for some reason also opened our garage doors....!!

Well....

The garage door man came by Tuesday afternoon and reprogramed our doors and fixed the parental units opener ..

My internet connections have been perfect ever since...

Go figure..!!

It's another mountain mystery...

..Hope is Forever..

Lula threw it out....

We bought Lulabell a new dog house....one of those that looks like an Igloo and has some insulation.   I thought a new dog house should have a new dog bed...

soooo...I found a nice comfy...snuggley...warm one and presented it to Lula with the new house...

She threw it out...!!

Not once but twice...!!

Now...

New bed in the people house....old bed in new dog house...

 it belongs to Mia in the mornings..

Max in the late morning to mid-afternoon...

and Misskitty from mid-afternoon till early evening....

 

They set their own schedule and so-far things are working fine...

So Far..!!

..Hope is Forever..

Frosty....

This was the scene outside my office door on Friday...

Frosty and cold.....we all got together and had potluck lunch at Ranger Tom's house and it was great..."wonderful chili Vicki!"

then the weekend was beautiful and now it's raining like crazy...!!

With a low of 16 predicted for tonight,

tomorrow should be icy.....or dicey.....which ever...!

I've been fighting an upper respiratory bug for the last few days thought i had it under control but it's trying to make a come back....

Yuck....nasty bugs...!!

Stay safe and warm Mother Nature is on a rampage..!

..Hope is Forever..

Brrrrr....

the temps are dropping as I write this..

We're in for a cold weekend 

but

very little snow...

Thank Goodness...

..Hope is Forever..

It's Been 40 Years....

...since CityBoy or I had been to a laundromat...

But, yesterday we made the venture into unknown territory...

When we build this cabin....since there was only the two of us...I decided that a smaller washer and dryer would be all we needed..

Never thought of those king/queen size comforters...

Now...

The dogs and the cat sleep on the beds during the day (and night) and those comforters begin to have a little doggie/kitty odor after awhile...

I used to drop the comforters off at a laundry on my way to work and then pick them up on the way home all nice a clean....

Not Anymore..!!

The laundry went up on price....they are now $20.00 a piece...!!

So we grabbed the soap...a roll of quarters...2 comforters and away we went...

Well...

$8.00 and 1 hour and 15 minutes later we were on our way home with fresh smelling clean comforters...

Not So Bad....We can do this....even at our advanced age...

..Hope is Forever..
