Gooood Morning Sistahs!!!!
Well we're here in NY. Missed my friend Laura this morning, called her to let her know that we were in Mansfield PA at about 6am this morn. Talked a few minutes then she had to finish getting ready for work she leaves the house at 6:30am to get in by 7. So now I'm sitting at the kitchen table swilling coffee and Kelly is sleeping. We left the house a little after 7pm yesterday and got here sometime between 7 and 8am. Not bad time really. Stopped in VA for supper and other than stops for gas we came right up thru. Dang I forgot to look at the trip mileage, Poo!!! I'll have to catch it later. Kelly and I split the driving up. I started out and made it 2/3 of the way thru VA and then she took over and I crawled into the back seat and caught a big ol'nap! Then like 27 miles from Elmira her eyeballs got super heavy and she started shaking her head so I took back over. She was really bummed out that I made her give up driving as she wanted to finish the drive into Elmira. She's sleeping now. I'm gonna take a shower and get her up at noon so we can go visit some other friends.
Boy talk about temps dropping. Started out in TN at about 30f and hitting Elmira NY it was 8f. At one point the thermometer in the Blazer said it was 6f. Brrrrrrr I know for sure that it was freaking cold when we stopped for gas and potty breaks for us and Shade. They gots snow up here!!! Probably about 4" or more. Shade loves it. Buries her head in it and runs along plowing furrows in the snow. Then of course she has to roll in it and take snow baths. Silly dog!!!! Shade and Laura's dog Bax are getting along pretty good. As soon as Bax learns that Shade is the Queen of the roost things will get quieter. It doesn't matter if this is his house or not of course.
Bax wants to play and Shade keeps giving him what for! A little longer and the two of them will be tearing it up!!
Left the house in TN in pretty good shape. Not one dirty dish to be seen. If I get home and have a bunch of dirty dishes waiting for me the sheetz is gonna hit the fan. Floors were all done and I had found 7/8ths of the kitchen table. The one thing 'I' didn't do was clean out the fridge and it needs it. Kelly cleaned the bathroom best she could as the kids had a mountain of laundry sorted out all over the place. Plus she cleaned up in the living room. Altho David did tell Kelly to make sure her stuff was all picked up and in her room, that he was gonna be doing some cleaning. HooooooRay!!!! ???hmmmm??? We shall see. I did let him know that the landlord was gonna advertise the house for rent and would be letting us know if someone wanted to see it and that I would really appreciate the help picking up and keeping it clean.
I did find out this morning when I talked to Laura that our favorite hot dog restaurant has closed down.
Ever since we made the plans to come to NY on vacation our mouths have been watering for M & M hot dogs. OMG!!! Laura told me of another place that has opened up so we will go try there. We will have to keep our fingers crossed. I hate change like this!!!
M & M Hots has been a fixture in this town since before I was born. I have no idea what happened? Maybe the economy got them too? She said they closed about 7 months ago.
Ok, time to go get my travel weary butt into the shower.
Hope everyone has a great day, stay safe and for heavens sake stay warm!!!
Love to all
