Yes, some of you are probably wondering what's with the Winter Storm Watch for today, when this is spring. Well, this is typical spring in Michigan. We go through the thaw and freeze cycle and then just when we get down to bare ground, mom nature throws one more punch. I call it winter's "last hurrah". We usually get dumped with snow and get put right back where we started from. As of last night they said we could get 6-12 inches but they have since revised that and it looks like 3-6. Seems the storm may be staying a bit more south. As is, this county is on the edge of the thing. Who knows. We shall see what is going on out there in the morning and deal wilth it. This time of year, it is very heavy wet snow, so usually doesn't hang around long. As long as Friday is good, I don't care as I plan to go to a small RV show about 60 miles from here.
Been a busy week here and it's only the second day. Sunday I went down to Roscommon, about 35 miles from here to visit a friend for awhie. We have been friends for a long time and can yak about anything and everything. Enjoyed it. Wished we lived closer. She and the significant other she lives with (or whatever the current term is for seniors who live togethr but not mrried for financial reasons etc.) , have a 5er and are planning on selling it this spring to downsize to a smaller one. So they are waiting for the weather to cooperate so they can get it uncovered and get their stuff out of it and ready it up for sale. They don't camp a lot, but have some friends they meet a few times a year. Hopefully I will be able to join them sometime. They usually go on weekends though cause their friends work and I work weekends.
Yesterday I took Sassy out to the groomers for a bath and trim. From here on out, I will do both of them mysefl as it's going to be warm enough for them to be wet outside if they want. That's 15 miles from here one way. Then from there it was 10 miles out to Meijer's (a store like WalMart) to pick up a few things. Going back through Gaylord on the way home I stopped to check out stoves at a few places. Debate is whether to get one with the elements or a flat top. Both have their pros and cons. My current one is 23 years old and starting to wear out. Then made another stop at the other grocery store for some meats and a few other things before heading home. Of course later in the afternoon I went back to pick up Sassy, came home, changed into a few warmer duds, gathered up Tessa and we went over to the park for a walk. I wanted to give them some run time as I needed to gather the "necessary sample"
to take to the vet today for their heartworm checks. Got it. So back home we came. And this morning both are heading for the vet for their annual checkups and to get started back on the seasonal heartworm meds again. Colliemom has been rolling up the miles these days. But as Soos understands, when you live in a rural area, you do those things.Carol, I'll bet you are going to miss the Mexico weather. But the rains at home mean spring is here, the flowers will be blooming, grass greening, trees coming out etc.
Liz, sorry your house sale got put off a bit. Sure hope the probate comes thruogh. Those things take time unfortunately. In a way she probably shouldn't have bought the house till she had the money. Your Azalas are beautiful. I always looked forward to our spring trips south to see them.
Irmi, glad your dad is out of the hospital and doing better. And hope your mom feels better too. It is work having older parents, but yours sound pretty independent as much as they can be yet. And having a loving, caring family helps greatly.
Barbara, sound like Lola is starting to become a "house cat" again. Now is Sophie will come around, you will be all set.
Soos, that new pool at the kids will be so nice. Now you have two places to kick back and enjoy. Gosh, how much better can it get.
Kimberly, before you know it, it will be time to hit the road and enjoy the sights and your new MH
BJ - I had a feeling that your Winnie had a bladder infection as Tessa has been through them too. Glad she is doing better.
So time to get rolling around here. We have to leave a bit before 9:30 and I am still lin my jammies, finishing up Poached eggs and sausage for breakfast. Bowl of strawberries coming up. Want to run a brush over Tessa and brush their teeth before we go. So had better get with it here. Have a great day all.
Randy's alarm went off this morning, he hit snooze once and then got up and took the alarm (his cell phone) with him into the house..... so I overslept! It was so hard to get out of that warm snuggly bed, but alas, I did. Then grabbed a cup of home-brewed Starbucks and hit the hot tub. Couldn't help it -woke up to snow on the ground and that just calls for a dip in the outdoor hot tub.
Rain, rain go away!
So I call my local Comcast. Have you seen the commercial where the guy calls in to his credit card co. and gets some guy named Peggy? Same guy! 
Glad to see that things are all 'fixed' up to the good now.
