405 days to go..... WHAT a NASTY day!!!!!!! DAMN!!!!! By the time I got up at 7:30 this morning (and I slept all night long….whooray!) the trees were bare of the ice and the driveway at Dr. Jeni’s was void of any ice. The temp was about 36 degrees and it had melted almost every trace of the pesky ice….
We hung around visiting until almost 11 as I spent some time on Dr. Jeni’s new personal computer, installing some new programs and getting it set up the way she wanted it. Then the 1st Lady and I left to make the 2 hour drive up to Monroe City. We hadn’t driven but just a little north of Hermann when the fog, the incredible accumulations of ice on the trees and fields almost caused a “whiteout” for us. This lasted for at least 60 miles as it didn’t really get any better until we were almost at M.C. In fact, it was soooo foggy that we missed the turn-off to McDonald’s at the I-70 and Hwy 19 junction!!!! Just couldn’t see it……whew!!
The afternoon went swiftly as we just sat around and discussed our trip last month to Egypt and Jordan. The 1st Lady’s mother can’t see the pictures on this little lappie because of her blindness…….such a pity as she seemed soooo curious about some of the places we had visited and enjoyed.
Weather predictions for here for tomorrow are mixed…….with rain, sleet, ice, and snow. Hmmmm, there tv stations up here are certainly not known for their weather accuracy…..so we will just wait it out and see.
Her satellite tv has so very little to offer……..she has the smallest package, I’m certain. She sits and listens to it…..and SOMETIMES she can make out the picture if she looks at it out of the corner of her eye at a 90 degree angle!
I hope to get over to Hannibal tomorrow afternoon (Wed)……..weather is certainly a factor in running over there…..about 15 minutes from here. Soooooo……….Life here is at a slow pace…..plan to do a bit of reading……but, HEY…….it doesn’t make any difference if I sit and relax……
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!……And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
