  • Move to Missouri she said….

    You know those moments when something someone has said to you in the past comes back….repeating like you are seated side by side, say, in a movie theater and she whispers…you guys should move down here we hardly ever get snow…..and honestly I have bragged to my northern friends that…oh ya, we are always 10 Read more

  • The orangutan disappeared when I opened my eyes.

    I have no idea exactly where I was or what I was doing but a fellow that looked very similar to the one pictured above was running ahead of me through the timber. Opening my eyes I thought….well, I wonder what kind of day I should anticipate! I am holding on tightly to a sentence Read more

    A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine announced that he was taking off for Florida for a few weeks. I had 3 thoughts.

  • Paralyzed

    Holy crap, Batman…we got it all…everything that was intended for us.  Freezing rain, snow and snow drifts…most gravel roads are completely blocked…there are several people sitting in their cars waiting for plows on gravel roads…county road crews tell us they are doing the highways first – then will start on the gravels – just making Read more

  • Where were you when the lights went out

    Unfortunately, a fact of life, when the weather gets cold and icy and you most want to tuck yourself on the davenport and watch tv…the electric goes out.  February 2007 we were without power for 3 or 4 days – which was a short time compared to a lot of folks.  We became survivors – Read more
