Bailey the Driver

When Bailey is left to her own device and entertain-ment, this is what she is up to....Crazy dog! We couldn't get her out of the truck for about 2-3 hours!

My Weirdo Dog, Bailey

While working in Ioka, Bailey decided to rest inside the kitchen cupboards. She always likes to lay with something over her head so guess she decided inside the cupboards was the safest place to be! What a funny dog.

Old Man Winter

This last week Dad was in Des Moines for business and left John and I home by ourselves. I laughed and joked with a neighbor that the car would breakdown or maybe the washer or dryer, or maybe even have plumbing problems since Terry was going to be gone. I spent 20 years as an Air Force wife--I KNOW how these things go! Anyway, no plumbing problems, no vehicle problems, washer and dryer did just fine. However, I got the nasty virus that is going around and was DOWN all week. I snuggled into the recliner and vowed that I would get through the roughly 20 movies that I had Tivo'd. It was going to be a relaxing and kicked back week.....until the snow started to fly the VERY FIRST day! We got 15 inches the first day, 4 inches the second day, 6 inches the third day, a BREAK the fourth day and again the fifth day of this week. Forty minutes into plowing the snow off the driveway the very first snowfall, I BROKE THE PLOW!!!! Thank Heaven for a super johnny-on-the-spot home teacher who came and helped us dig ourselves out! I always loved the guy but now he holds a special place in my heart! Sooooooo John and I were destined to remove the snow by shovels! It has been an extremely Looooong week. Today we got another 6-7 inches of snow. Do the math on the total kiddos. It's a TON of snow!!
Thought I would share some pictures of the beauty that old man winter has left us this week. I complain about the cleanup of this dreadful stuff but I sure love the beauty of what we enjoy after the cleanup is done! I'm ready to move on and think about the gorgeous flowers that might start popping through the snowfall in the next few weeks. Spring isn't in the air here in Utah, but in my mind it is just around the corner!!
PS--the first picture of me is cuz I'm NOT the one cleaning the snow today!! Notice the smile!! Second picture is the best one cuz it shows DAD cleaning the snow today--something I waited and wished for all week!! PSS--I got through about 13movies this week -- not as many as I hoped but I did take lots of naps cuz of being sick. All in all, it was a good week but don't let Dad know since I've done a super duper job of laying the guilt on rather thickly for him being gone during the winter's WORST snowstorm to date!!
