Basically quiet. Weather has been a bit damp in spots (but some sun, too). We've mostly been hanging around the house getting a few things done. Did go out to grab a quick dinner Sat. evening, and burgers last night.

Still haven't gotten used to having nothing to do on Sunday. You see, all my life (57 years now) Sunday was family day at my parents' house. Even with mom in an apt. the past few years, some of us still gathered there on Sun. So I spent my Sunday afternoon doing her grocery shopping, then going to her place. Now, she's gone, and I don't have any Sunday responsibilities--it's like I don't know what to do with myself on Sunday (and it doesn't help that DH says, almost every week, "I guess Sundays seem kind of odd to you now")

Of course, the weekend isn't over yet--we still have today. And then--YIPPEE--Dh goes back to work for 2 whole days, then is off until April 1 (lot of vacay he has to use up). So I'm looking at a really, REALLY long weekend next weekend--LOL!

That's a great picture MaryAnn. She is a beautiful horse. I'll bet Chad is a handsome yung man too. I can't see his face very well. He sure looks like he's having a good time.

I took Anna shopping and cleaned out the shed in the back yard this weekend. Things just just put in there when we had it built. I finally rearranged it and have a place for everything. It feels so good.
I did have to put some things back in there that didn't belong, but that is only til the 7th of March when I have my second yard sale in two months. The reason I'm having another one is because I have some big items from the shed to sell that I didn't have time to get to for the last one.

Saturday I was at the hospital visiting my sister and nephew. Yesterday, I stayed in all day. Icy roads and high winds had been predicted. We did get a little drizzle which turned icy, (but not to bad) so we didn't go to church. I played that bubble game, and the other one someone gave a link to for Stacy. I can't believe how fast yesterday went.

Saturday was wonderful with 40º temp and sunshine. I did some winter sowing, and just soaked up the sun when I went out. Yesterday was a big zero, but that's OK. DD stopped in for a while and we just yakked. Later I had a nap and then watched a Netflix movie.....a real tear-jerker!

Chad's horse is a beauty! Glad you had an enjoyable weekend.

We went with friends to play lazer tag on Saturday (I didn't play, but DH did) and then we went to a bar to listen to a friend's SIL sing. Had a great time.

Sunday we took DD and her BF to the same lazer tag place to let them use up the money on the card we'd bought and then we took them bowling. I bowled a 130 on my first game which is good for me and was good enough to beat everyone else. I bowl with a ball I got at a yard sale for a buck. Cheapness has it's rewards! lol

Oh wow Maryanne!
Great shot!
...and would you look at that green grass?
I'm jealous....

We had a pretty good weekend.
The sun shone, the wind didn't blow and the temperature was above zero.

Kids and I delivered puppies on Saturday and did a little shopping. My gosh but everything is expensive even at clearance prices. The high spot of the day was at Kohl's when I scratched off an additional fifteen percent. LOL

Sunday we cleaned the house and hubby caught up on some ranch work as he had to work overtime Saturday. Digger amazed me when she mucked out her bedroom and produced four bags of thriftstore donations. Jesse of course had to dig through all four bags to make sure there wasn't something there SHE wanted and of course, there was but it's going back to college with her.

Digger is looking into online and community college courses to earn her LPN degree this summer. If she does/can she will get a full ride scholarship for her RN (I THINK I have those degrees in the right order....) this fall. YAY!!!

I kept busy building a outside pen for puppies and washing their inside bedding. The smart little buggers can hear when the computer is booting up (the storeroom is just down the hall from my office) and will whine and bark. Cuties!

I'm working today as is Custer.
I'm waiting for a girl to come pickup a puppy then I'm off to work.

I started an exercise program last week.
Hopefully the hard part is behind me?
LOL
I go into work early three mornings a week and walk on the center's treadmill. The other days I ride my exercise bike. So far so good.....no change in body size or how clothes fit but I'm feeling really really proud of myself. LOL

Lori

OMG Lori! The sun shone, the wind didn't blow and the temperature was above zero. That's why Jammer tells me I would never make it through the winter in your neck of the woods!

I forgot to mention that Jammer plowed up a very large garden area. He can't wait to start planting!!! Looks like we will have our very own fresh, home grown produce for the first time in years.

Great picture!
My weekend was a dead one, nothing!

Love the picture! This weekend I went to a baby shower on Saturday, and babysat the baby yesterday. She is one month old, and I get to watch her again today. The dogs keep barking at her...she doesn't seem to care, but it annoys me.

Because of the weather predictions for yesterday, I stayed inside and didn't even change out of my jammies. The roads were slippery, so I skipped church. We didn't get as much snow as expected but we had freezing rain in the night Satuday night.

Maryanne,
The bad weather wasn't as bad as was expected here either. However, the back yard looks like a Lake. Water standing everywhere.

I went out in my rubber boots to see why the dogs were digging in the water. It looks like we have crawfish in the yard. Ooh boy!

Yesterday and today we have sunshine. All three dogs have been sunning at the door. Of course I went to get the camera and they scattered except for Pawlee who struck a poise.

It rained most of Saturday, then Sat. evening we went to a funeral home to a viewing for an ex neighbor, then to a movie and to a little Italian restaurant afterwards. We got about 3 inches of rain, which we're always grateful for. It rained at the right places to bring the lake level back up.

Good looking kid and horse MaryAnn. Glad you have such lovely weather.

We watched some much needed rain and snow fall this weekend. It was wonderful. About 2" in all. YAY! McCloud and I love cloudy, rainy/snowy days.
This is looking across at the neighbors from my office window. It looked like it was snowing feathers the flakes were so big.

We had cold and windy weather so I stayed inside and sewed a new wallet/purse for my mom. There's another pocket and zipper compartment on the back. She wore her last one out.

Chad cuts a handsome figure on his new horse, MaryAnn!

Summer, 2", that's wonderful. Yay for your yard and well! We got at least that much, it just poured, the dogs and cats did not want to go out at all.

Saturday we took my van into the shop, it had temperature issues. So we went in anticipating a new thermostat was needed... and it was. But there were other issues. Total damage, $1300! And that was with one problem covered under warranty. Sunday DH turned on the computer and the monitor "popped" and went out. Had to drag a big old clunker down from the attic for now. Then, because it's a three day weekend and these things come in threes, we woke up to no hot water this morning. (Whose idea of a joke is this?)

On the upside, it poured Sunday (we needed the rain) and the roof did not leak. ;o)

I guess I'm off to take a cold shower before we head out to pick up the van. And stop at Home Depot, I guess. We'll let them handle the water heater, it's gas and I don't want to mess with it. We knew it was about to expire, but sheesh, did it have to be all in one weekend!?

I'm laughing, I really am, because life can be almost like a sitcom sometimes.

did our usual shopping sat and sunday...oh and took the snow blower over for repairs...i hate it that sears doesn't have parts store anymore! just glad we didn't get the expected snow today..right now it's actually sunny but very cold...

It was incredibly busy! And this week will be the same. sigh.

Our city had their Basketball tournaments since Friday. My two dd's had six games since friday, I probably watched 5 to 6 other games before, between or after their games. Had to take tickets for 3 hours on Sunday. Made a desert for a Valentines dinner on Sunday eve, after tournament cleanup. Made some chicken soup because I didn't want the cooked chicken in the fridge to get old and useless.
We bought a horse on friday so my head has been planning for her living quarters during any free moments.
Back to work on Monday, it seemed like there wasn't a down time all weekend. I'm dreaming of reading a good book all day!
