Hello,
We are so grateful for a warm place to
live, a car heater that works, warm clothes, and warm comforter for sleeping. So
many good things in our lives! As an added bonus we get to see birds, tracks in
the snow, squirrels making tracks, and snow on trees.
I did walk around the block and that
was enough at that moment. Our temperature is 7 degrees F. We had done some
more shoveling before that so Leroy did not walk with me. He got worried about
me before I got back because it was more work to walk in the newly falling
snow. We are blessed with more snow that we need.
Yesterday we both went to work. Leroy,
who only drives in town, had the easy drive. My drive was a total of 12 miles pne
way. It was not drifted or bumpy, but I was so happy to get there because the
Ely road was, although cleared, totally covered with a pack of snow and ice. I
had no idea if it was slippery or not. I like to gently put the brakes on to
test the surface, but I never had the road to myself. I just drove quite
slowly, hoping the people behind me were patient souls. They all stayed back
there and I collected more from time to time. Every once in a while the car
directly behind me would drop back so I suspected they felt comfortable going
even slower. I thanked the car for doing such a good job when we got to the
parking place. I am impressed that these materials can take such extreme cold
as well as extreme heat.
One thing I am not as happy about. With
age, I am happy to age, but I seem to be developing a belly. No more pride in
my slim front. It is particularly noticeable with certain tops because they
come close and show the world what is there. Oh well, so much better than many
other things that could happen to me
Paula
